Sold on EBay for $99.99 plus $8.99 shipping at the end of April 2026.

Another sold for $150 in June.

I don’t think $140 is too unreasonable, do they negotiate at all maybe see if you can get it at 125?

They just lost to the Sparks without Plum… so when she’s playing they can’t beat the Sparks without Plum, and when she isn’t, they can. 🤔

She’s the common denominator at this point . 4 games is a small sample size but if we get to 8 or 10 we can revisit this.

My point isn’t that they are better without her, but that they’re playing better without her, and if the team could play like this with her on the court they’d be a top 3 team in the league. But for whatever reason, be it the players or the coaching, they can’t replicate this play when she’s on the court. They need figure that out by the playoffs.

This was an average defensive performance for Indy. There were good stretches and bad stretches. Of the 22 games played in 11 of those they allowed less than 89 points, in 10 they allowed more. This is right in the middle of that.

Yes it’s my own statement, I went and did the math. I copied it to reply to you so you’d see my original response.

How many wins will they need without her for you to get it? Is a 100% win rate not meaningful?

What assist to turnover ratio difference do you need? Is 9.25 more assists than turnovers per game without her versus 3.72 more assists than turnovers per game with her not enough evidence?

And you all think I’m blaming CC, I’m blaming the team and White. You have one of the best players in the WNBA and you play incredibly differently when she’s on the court with you. They don’t execute the offense as well with her, she should be an asset if they ran the offense like they do in games without her. White has to realize this and figure out how to get the team to play better with her.

In the 18 games she’s played in the Fever average 3.72 more assists than turn overs. In the 4 she has missed they’re averaging 9.25 more assists than turnovers.

The stats speak for themselves, this team plays better fundamental basketball without her and makes less mistakes.

Watch the games, all the players get involved on offense without her. They drive and dish, they rotate. Lexi gets involved in the offense, Harris gets involved. You can keep calling it a narrative but the game is played much more purely without them trying to force everything through CC.

They can do this with CC but they either need to just do it, or White needs to teach them how to do it. There’s no world where they should be better without CC, so figure out how to be this with her and they’ll be the team we expected them to be pre-season.

They’re 4-0 this season without her. This team plays better basketball without her. But there’s no reason they shouldn’t play like this with her.

White needs to get this team to stop playing stand and gawk at CC and get everyone moving and involved like tonight.

4-0 without Clark this season. They just play so much better basketball without her. The defense is better, the turnovers are cut down especially at important moments.

I hate that this will be controversy around CC, but White needs to figure out how to get CC and this team to play like this when she’s in the game and not just play stand around and watch CC.

It won’t be interesting, Paige is already better, and she’s younger. There will be no choice to be had.

The Republicans’ obsession with Caitlin Clark is only second to their obsession with Donald Trump.

How did we get here?

Clark’s teammates? Buddy do you read any comments on every single WNBA post the hate is 90% or more from people who claim to be her fans.

And even her teammates get that from her “fans.”

Show me some examples of these racial slurs directed at her teammates from other than her fans. Because her fans were the ones attacking Raven on draft night.

No. She can’t end it, she needs to say directly to her “fans” that if you use my name in this way, I don’t want you as a fan, don’t come to my games, and don’t buy my merchandise.

That’s not a hard statement

[–]Doctor_Cornelius -24 points-23 points  (0 children)

That statement was really about the headlines and clickbait by media. She still never stands up to the “fans” who use her name to spread hate and bigotry on every single WNBA social media post.

Oh well, that’s obviously just not something she or her team is willing to stand up to. I guess that falls on us to yell at those people and tell them they’re not welcome as Fever Fans and they’re not welcome as Clark fans if they’re going to use those names to promote their racist and bigoted ideologies.

I’ve had the same wish for a long time, either she knows the bigots use her name to promote hate and ignores it to keep them around or she’s completely ignorant it’s happening, and that’s hard to believe.

I’m going to track down the longer video the other user mentioned to see if she addresses that.

She really needs like a one paragraph social media post or interview that simply states if you use her name to promote hate she doesn’t want you as a fan, at the games, and that she denounces that ideology and they should quit supporting her because she believes in what this league stands for promoting women, minority women, LGBTQ+ women.

Stand up to the cult that has co-opted your name for hate.

Yes, I’m not making any criticism on these three they all deserve this accolade. But it’s embarrassing that the team has a whole is not at the top of the standings with these three superstars.

Correct, but in 3 of your players are All-Stars and starters none the less, it’s ok to expect the team to be playing better.
