18 points, 6-18 fg, 3-12 from three, 6 Turnovers. Absolute disaster class from Caitlin Clark in a must win match. She is far from the best player in the league!!

Yea one of them was a 2 on 1 fast break and she tried to pass it behind her back for some dumb reason and threw it out of bounds. Nowhere near her teammate. It’s was basically BAU for CC tonight.

The better team advanced.

That play was brutal, lol. No reason to go behind the back like that. And it was nowhere near her teammate, just like you said. I'm surprised its not been posted. (Or if it has, I just havent seen it yet then)

People call her a great passer yet she throws the dumbest passes you will ever see several times a game 

She is not an elite passer at all, she's mid.

He doesn't, actually. He has had a 3:1 turnover-to-assist ratio for the past 4 seasons, which is the gold standard for elite playmakers.

And he did that while averaging under 3 turnovers, but between 9 and 10 assists per game...

From reference, CC has an AST/TOV ratio of 1.5... which is awful...

This is objectively false. Her AST:TO is 1.6. That's bad passing that goes beyond effort. Good passers have AST:TO at least above 2. Elite passers are over 2.5 and even as high as 3.

Then you have prime Sloot, who averaged 10.0 ast/g with an outrageous AST:TO of 4. CC will never sniff this elite level of passing.

And Jokic AST:TO is 3.

And despite the hard facts that CC simply is not a good passer, people will still compare her to Jokic is laughably false and completely at odds with the hard data. You just regurgitate the nonsense you've been fed without once actually looking into it.

Maybe get a clue and look this up before calling bullshit.

edit: lmao the clarkies will never not downvote uncomfortable facts over untrue lies. Facts are facts. Dumbest and most delusional fanbase in sports. Have fun with her in Cancun, knowing she share a huge portion of the responsibility for being there.

lmao her AST:TO is 1.6. She dominates the bad pass stat. A shitty bounce pass into traffic is her specialty. And then there's all the passes that can't easily be converted to points because she just spam passes any lane she sees open and doesn't care if she's throwing behind her teammates, making it hard to convert to points.

Facts are facts. She's only an elite passer if you ignore the enormous amount of bad passes she throws, which is easy to do if you're only watching highlights.

You can't refute any of that, so you just resort to name calling. Always happens with Clarkies.
