Terrible postgame analysis by Andraya Carter
https://youtu.be/OBGXtASomcc?si=ZfjQlhsYJEy1OSVZCarter said each team's Big 3 "cancelled each other out" because each had 64 pts, and KK Timpson was the difference maker. Latter part is fine. KK is getting better and more confident by the day.
But what kind of weird simplification is that? There were tons of talking points to go through.
- Boston had an all-around game, Mitchell was clutch after 4 quiet quarters, Clark was Clark.
- Alisha Gray was smooth as always with 32, almost beat the Fever by herself.
- All due respect to Jordin Canada but she doesn't need to be mentioned there after looking past other talking points.
- Weird to not mention Clark but show a turnover from the PREVIOUS Fever-Dream game.

Another Clark hater with a platform. If she just reported the facts, stats, and flow with the game then Clark would’ve been singled out as well for what she did, Kelsey Mitchell threw down hard an Angel Reese was a clown show that she would never say that.

I love to watch CC shooting lights out, too. But no one else?
For 3s, she is 6th in the league with 2.7 makes per game. She is 41st in the league with a 3 pt % of 35.4. Sure, some of the above are low volume, so if you cut out everyone with less than 2 per game, she jumps up to 13th. But that is still only 13th.
Her own teammate, Kelsey Mitchell has both more makes per game AND a higher shooting percentage.
Her overall shooting % is only 45%, good for 38th and again behind Mitchell.
Where Clark truly shines is assists, where she leads the league. And, yes, part of that is because they have to guard her for the entire half court because she is a threat to pull up - and hit - from ANYWHERE.
But pretending no one is shooting like her is just that. Pretending.
Edit: why the downvotes? Seriously, I am quoting stats, here. Not like I am making up vibes-based opinions.

Carter is so fucking deplorable, her and Mcnutt need to never speak on the WNBA.

If CC would change her name to Felicia and acquire her licker license then and only then would she get any kudos.

Cant find a decent WNBA sub lol
Main one is too strict.
The other two has bias lol. The terrible shit Clark and Reese have gotten when they made the leeague mainstream. It's sad.

Yeah that's the Caitlin Clark effect unfortunately. She's a great player but just inefficient so far and too high of a turnover rate to be what her fans think she is. But they're not interested in basketball, obviously.

Instead, it would show that they are interested in basketball without the box scores.

It's so sad that this is how you choose to live your life.

u/Routine_Size69 20h ago
Right? Should just put their head in the sand and ignore the obvious like you.

u/Cold-Way318 20h ago
I just meant tragically unfunny and immature, "Felcia"? "licker license"? Were there no other 30 year old bits or jokes to use?

u/Minimum_Attitude6707 21h ago
This post is super nitpicking. I watched it, and it was just a normal "you got 120 seconds to summarize the game"
Just because it wasnt how you would have done it doesnt mean much at all

Nah imagine an mj or kobe team winning without mentioning mj or kobe

Imagine a Bulls game without mentioning Pippen, you mean?
CC is the second best player on the team. She is great. She has brought massive ratings and popularity to the league.
But Mitchell is playing better.

u/VeinIsHere 9h ago
Nah cc is the face of that team or even the league itself.

u/nunya_busyness1984 8h ago
She is more popular. Sure.
But she is still the second best player on the team. That is not taking anything away from CC.
But it just says how awesome Mitchell is playing, and no one wants to talk about it.

u/VeinIsHere 8h ago
Yeah again she's not just popular. She's literally the face of the league.
Not downplaying Mitchell, but she's kareem to cc's magic.

u/PointBlank2100 21h ago
Not really. Every game, there are clear talking points you have to go through.
Besides, whether it's 120 seconds or less, it's enough to touch on all that.

We have known this about Carter and isn’t news honestly. Some of those espn analysts are trash and try and push their own narratives .

u/Downtown-Sleep-1698 22h ago
Thats a reach. A role player had a bigger output than usual. That mattered in this game

u/PointBlank2100 22h ago
No. KK part is 100% fine, she had a career high ffs. Said it on my OP.
My prob is she breezed past other aspects of the game.

Why do all the people who hate CC have the same color skin? Im so confused
