Incidentally, it took until game 6 but the Indiana Fever finally won a game, beating (barely) the Los Angeles Sparks last night. Caitlin Clark is putting out respectable numbers (actually better than respectable, looking at rookie stats since the WNBA began) for a rookie, so I'm not sure why the media keeps talking about how disapointing it is that she hasn't led the team to victory until now.
#1 Ummm...she's a rookie, why would she be expected to "lead" the team anywhere?
#2 She was the Number One Overall Draft Pick. Do these idiots commenting on the disappointing performance so far understand who gets the Number One Overall Draft Pick? The WORST friggin team in the league, that's who, and the first 4 games were against two of the best teams, so OF COURSE the Fever lost those games.
#3 Moving from college to pro is a big frigging deal, did they think she'd be hitting as many threes in her first year in the pros as she did in her last year of college? Michael Jordan didn't play as well his first year in the NBA as he did at UNC, so...
I'm hoping the morons will stop being so negative now that the losing streak is broken.
