The thing that isn't mentioned is that she also leads the league in turnovers by a wide margin. 5.6 per game which is pretty bad.

From the games I've seen, the whole team is very prone to turnovers, only 3 teams had more per game and none of them made the playoffs. Clark also makes passes that male players would have no problem catching because they're harder and require a fair bit skill to catch. Her team mates, with a few exceptions, are often not ready for them or have enough skill.

Playoffs starting today. Sun vs Fever starting in a moment.

Caitlin Clark time

Ouch, that's a nasty looking ankle twist on the Sun player.

 

[Jussi]

Blowout win for the Sun. Clark seemed to be bothered/rattled by that finger in the eye early on and didn't hit anything.

Thomas' triple-double, Mabrey sink Fever in G1

Alyssa Thomas had 12 points, 13 assists and 10 rebounds, and Marina Mabrey had 27 points -- the most by a reserve in WNBA playoff history -- as the Sun beat the Fever in Game 1.

Caitlin Clark time

No it wasn't

 

[VaCaps Fan]

Her bandwagon “fans” who never watched the WNBA before do her a disservice.

Clark also makes passes that male players would have no problem catching because they're harder and require a fair bit skill to catch. Her team mates, with a few exceptions, are often not ready for them or have enough skill.

She also got drafted onto a terrible team. It shouldn't be a surprise they fumble her passes more often than a good team would.

 

[GKJ]

All the home teams won. Lower seed has to win a road game to get their playoff game at home.

Sheryl Swoopes wants the Fever to lose so she can rant about CC like she was a scrub.
