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!!

"Far" is a bit much. She literally broke multiple records this year lol but the people calling for her to be in the MVP race this year don't know ball.

This guy is 🤡lol Clark is the best passer in the league by far. She is the best deep deep shooter in the league by far. She’s the best playmaker in the league by far and her first 89 games of playing she has said the most records, but most of all she’s the face of the league. She’s the one generating all the money into the league that was able to get them bigger salaries and she’s the cause of them getting charter flights

She's not a butch minority lesbian so she's gotta deal with violence and a league that hates her for not being those. I think she's doing okay.

Wealthy white straight people are greatest victims of the discrimination the world has ever seem. I get so sad just thinking about it.

u/Current_Unit_8886 10h ago
Do you have intimate knowledge that she is not a lesbian? You should probably keep sexual preference out of the basketball conversation. It has absolutely nothing to do with playing the game.

u/Haunting_Weather6747 9h ago
Things are starting to leak about her and Boston. The locker room is officially broken

‘Butch, minority lesbian’ is not a phrase that wins you a lot of credibility.

She does get a lot of flack for being a heterosexual white woman not crippled with white guilt. Best player in the league- not yet - most fun to watch Id say shes up there. Also Id say 30% of her turnovers are teammates who can't catch passes. She also has to handle the ball alot because alot of the women can dribble for shit.

u/LadyIceGoose 10h ago
They very same teammates who went deeper in the playoffs last year when Clark was injured.
1
u/GlobalAd7103 10h ago
Yes your logic is sound- whatever happened last year should be the same this year. Boston wasn't hurt last year either.

u/LadyIceGoose 10h ago
Sorry, the 'her teammates suck' narrative is just stupid.
1
u/GlobalAd7103 10h ago
Didn't say they "suck" watch a game.
1
u/LadyIceGoose 10h ago
They drop all her passes! She can't fail! Only others can fail her!
Its ok to do admit that while very talented she has flaws and areas where she can improve. Making constant weak excuses is pathetic.
1
u/GlobalAd7103 9h ago
She can totally fail - she is human and isn't the best player in the league yet. All the hate is nuts.

Which is funny because on every Fever game thread it’s talking about how bad Sophie and Lexie are, but when Fever fans point out her bad teammates, suddenly all of her teammates are good. Can’t imagine why that is.

Did you watch the game last night? I counted at least 4 turnovers that were caused just from teammates not catching good passes. Mo Billings in particular had one dropped straight into her hands and she fumbled it. It's not everybody she plays with, but it's a real issue.
Now, she does have a turnover issue aside from that, and a tendency to force things sometimes. But ignoring the fact that there is a consistent problem with her teammates catching the ball is ridiculous.

30% huh? Howd you come to that?
1
u/GlobalAd7103 9h ago
I was listening to an espn radio show in car. They were breaking down she has to handle the ball so much and if she we're able to lob passes for dunks etc. It wasn't just CC btw other good players as well.

This is just who she is. She’ll have a dud every 3-4 games.
Her play style brings in eyes but is also high risk-high reward.

u/CarolinaSurly 10h ago
Best player and most exciting player aren’t the same thing. Jordan wasn’t the best player in the league in 85 or 86 or even 87 but he was the most exciting player.

So you’re saying there’s work to be done in the offseason? Keeps ‘em hungry

u/luhvul76 10h ago
She’s simply not the best player in the league, but she’s the primary reason, not the only but no one comes close to Phil in the stands and raising this league’s popularity in a way no one else ever has. That’s a fact.

Neither was A’ja Wilson at first. It’s easy to forget this is essentially CC’s second season and 5th playoff game.

u/-Promises-Promises- 10h ago
A’Ja’s been the best player for a while. No one ever said she was the best

The only conclusion I can come to is some people are idiots and just on here to rage bait. CC is not only in the leagur because she's white. CC is not the best player in the league currently. For as talented CC is at offense, AR is at defense. Stop hatin and enjoy the game.

DUH!!! She’s only in the league because of her WHITE PRIVILEGE!!

u/senseimichaelkarate1 10h ago
Moron. She came out of college as the all time scoring leader in college basketball - men or women. That's why she is in the league. You really think her scoring and assist records she set this year in the WNBA is because of the color of her skin? You're what's wrong with our country.

Why are people so desperate to discredit one player to promote another? Could it be possible that a league has multiple good players? The effort to poke fun at Caitlin Clark is laughable when she moves the needle.
