Indiana Fever 2024

[MrDollarBills]

Fever released Celeste Taylor; dont remember seeing her much this season.

I saw some fans were heated about that. I haven't seen enough of her to offer an opinion tbh

[MrDollarBills]

My last post was too optimistic. The Fever has moments where it looks like a unit, but generally against opposition and those moments don't last for long. Last night exposed them once again. This is not a team. It's a collection of players on the court.

They're a bad team for sure, but man that's kinda harsh lol

The odds were heavily stacked against the group to begin with. Brutal schedule, lots of youth, lack of good defenders, suspect coaching...the fact that they're still in the playoff hunt says to me that it isn't that bad, but they need to get back to their offensive principles that got them back into the race for the 8th seed.

Whose fault is it? The coach, the GM, the players? Or just time? They have to know to be able to fix it.
Last night was the first time I questioned if I really wanted to be watching this. Because it is rough.

You dont get b2b number one picks for being awesome. Id say all involved.

My breaking point came at the high P&Rs. Clark would get blitzed, so she had to give up the ball, and her only passing option was Boston at the free throw line. Hey, OK ... that's normally a good outcome for a P&R. The center has the ball, unguarded, for a 4v3 opportunity.

And ... Boston had no idea what to do in that situation.

I was like, man. First, I would expect my first round draft pick/ROY not to look so lost when in a routine situation. Second, if it truly is the case that she has never played high P&R before, then don't do it!

Just painful. I would throw something at the TV screen if the Bulls played like that. And it's not as if the Bulls are NBA role models.

My favorite moments of the season have involved crisp ball movement and passing leading to a bucket. There have not been nearly enough of them.

Here we go. Boston and Clark are starting to cook

Taurasi trying to bully her, but lexie wont move

This game is fantastic

I am confused as to how a routine moving screen is a 2-shot flagrant foul.

[MrDollarBills]

The Fever are bringing it

[cdubbz]

It's nice to see touch fouls not being called. CC got bumped a few times dribbling and no call. I don't mind it too much - in the NBA it's a foul every time.

And now Phoenix. The crowd is getting its money's worth.

Agree. Those were good no calls. Caitlin was working the refs on those but they weren't biting.

I'm glad, this is what makes the league so good. Straight hoops, no bs

[MrDollarBills]

Taurasi is pissed now lol

[cdubbz]

Would have liked to see CC call her own number with :09 on the clock and have space beyond 3point line. She still made a nice play.

[MrDollarBills]

Boston's ability to space is something to keep an eye on

And that was a flagrant on Tasha Cloud
