Have to give Steph Talbot props. Big ones. That’s the most the Sparks have looked like an actual lineup. McDonald Rae. Rickea Talbot Hamby. Now if they can all play 35 mins a night.

Miller wouldn’t even be playing her if not for other injuries. He plays favorites terrible. Idk why he continues to favor Nurse over Burrell

Caitlin with a and1 and then a good look ahead pass to Mitchell for a 3 to tie the game.

 

[knoxvol52]

Ionescu with a deep 3 Fever lead 79-78 30 seconds left.

 

[Majors]

Oh my, CC messed around and got a triple double.

Caitlin with 19/12/13 in Fever win over Liberty 83-78.

Wellness check on @DarkPhoenix ?

CC was shut down defensively and could not make a shot against a quality opponent and that has been her MO against all the elite teams in the league.

Her "incredible strength" does not seem to make these trips.

Welp, this didn’t age well.

They’ll go back later and edit or delete. Watch lol.

Always been that way with that person. I just like to jack her around now and then.

 

[VolBall09]

Oh, so you can read!! Congrats.

If by 40% from 3 point land, you mean 33.7% then you are correct. Clark is shooting 39% from the 2 pt. sphere (the same as Angel Reese by the way, though in AR's case you offered her shooting % as evidence of being offensively incompetent).

The Aces game was very relevant. CC was shut down defensively and could not make a shot against a quality opponent and that has been her MO against all the elite teams in the league.

Her "incredible strength" does not seem to make these trips.

19/13/12 and a win over the best team in the league. Yawn.

That stat line is incorrect. ESPN app as the correct one. Seems like the team she plays for could get there **** right. Only in the WNBA, good grief.

At the time of the screenshot that was Clark's stat line. You can see that was when Inidiana was down 66 57.

 

[VolBalls33]

I was pretty sure Tamika Catchings had at least one triple double in her career at Indiana, apparently not. Clark has the 1st triple double in Fever history 22 games in.

It's not fair. Other players would get triple doubles too if the media would just push them as much as they push Clark.

Thank God that Clark got her triple double. The very fate of Western civilization was hanging in the balance.

She had a really good first half. Her 2nd half regressed to her season averages (actually below)-- finishing 3 for 12 from 3 and 7 for 17 is not efficient.

I enjoy watching Clark play but my identity is not vested in her so I can more or less objectively evaluate her performance.

She did some things very well. She ran the offense effectively, made some great passes and only had 4 TOs.

Also, she hit a little turn around jumper in the lane over Sabrina. I think that is a new move for her. If she can do that consistently, that will be a great wrinkle to add to her game

She is having a really good rookie season and that was big win for the Fever.

Sorry I had to use words here. I could not find a picture to capture this assessment.

PS,

What about Coach Side hating Clark and doing everything in her power to keep CC from attaining a world changing triple double?

This is actually debatable IMO, as the bar for "efficiency" is lower for someone who shoots a lot of 3s. True shooting percentage and effective field goal percentage do more to take 3s and FTs into account; her 53% TS% from that game would be about league average and her 50% eFG% would be more efficient than average

Jordy's Storm playing the Sky again, lost to them Friday night. Jordy had a good offensive game then, 20 pts, but got pretty cooked trying to guard Chennedy Carter, who had 33. Rematch today. Storm off to slow start, Carter and Reese doing damage already, Storm down 8-2 early. Hope better things happen going forward

RJ's Sparks play the Mercury at 7. Both these games on League Pass only
