Indiana Fever 2025

I would have put money on the Fever losing by 30, but what we got instead was the Liberty cruising for almost three quarters then flipping the switch when it came time to win.

Seems like interest has bottomed out in the Fever. No one knows when or if Caitlin is going to play, no one seems happy with the way the team is being coached - it seems like the game plan is to reduce Caitlin's impact even when she is on the floor. Like she recently said if she gets hot and makes a couple of buckets, the coach wants her to stop shooting. No one seems happy with the way the team was rebuilt over the offseason. Now it appears Caitlin doesn't trust the Fever trainers, and is seeing her own doctors instead. No one is happy with the WNBA officiating. Sometimes it looks like the NHL out there.

I guess there have been a few high spots when the whole team has been available, but that's been few and far between. The "Now You Know" promotion sounds like mockery at this point, as does the "Every Game is a Home Game" push. Oh well, spectator sports is a silly thing to get invested in. Maybe things will get better.

Brianna Turner might be a factor in these.

Bonner was a bustt and Cunningham has been useful but not a game changer. However, after a slow start Howard has been the real deal. She has the best on/off differential on the team, is playing a two-way game, and is a huge improvement at the #4 spot over NaLyssa Smith. That trade the Fever got right. Unfortunately, not so much the rest of their season.

As a side note, Clark's home splits are great. 19/5/9 with 39% shooting on 3s and 4.4 TOs per game. But my Lord, she is 2-35 on 3s this year on the road, for a 5.7% (!) shooting percentage. Yikes!
