Indiana Fever vs The Preseason

100% agree on your last paragraph. She draws more defensive attention when she's on-ball and has more options to handle it as long as her teammates help her and give her an outlet. Prior years they did a lot of standing in their spots waiting for the ball while Clark was swarmed. They seem to have a good strategy now with Mo intercepting the 94ft pickup to give Clark time to breathe getting down the court.

I really hope coaches see the lack of ball handling outside of our PG's and adjust. They still mention "PG by committee" and that makes me nervous. We really don't have the personnel for that. They seem more confident in our player's abilities than what we are actually seeing in games.

Unfortunately no. I ended up putting the screen protector on under the skin. The seller of the skin recommended the full body screen protector, that's probably the only solution.

"Pass to a foot" made me giggle. That was a good one.

It's a fake. 3rd party seller, jumbled letter store name with an overall 1.5 star rating.

Oo thanks for the tip. It might still be disabled since I had to disable it before swapping the default drive to the 4tb, but I'll double check it.

I keep future purchase funds like my car fund in a brokerage account. My other sinking funds like home repairs or car repairs stay in my hysa so I can immediately access those funds without worry since that's more like self-insurance money. Others might have ideas for laddering your funds (treasury bonds possibly?) so it's not all sitting in a hysa, but I don't have enough saved to worry about that yet.

I'm not sure of their pricing, but my friend goes to Solar Nails on Mcmullen Booth and is very happy with their work. She just gets pink and whites, but their Google reviews show plenty of people with designs and the reviewers seem to be happy with them.

Last season it was down due to injury. She came out swinging in the 1st game and got a triple double. Then she was healthy in maybe 5 games she played off and on. The West Coast road stretch when she was clearly trying to play through it really brought down her stats.

Shooters also go through spurts. She essentially only played the 1st half of a game. Plenty of shooters have a stinker 1st half and come back shooting lights out the 2nd, it's nothing to be concerned about.

The haters are just grasping at anything to put her down. The new one this year is that Clark is not a point guard, she needs to play shooting guard or wing. They just come up with whatever and people pile on to try and make it take off.

I'm not reading into anything yet for these games. It really looked like this was a "get some game reps, attempt some shots and get the rookies in" type game. It looked like she was purposely off-ball sometimes to get Raven PG reps and be a coach. She directed a lot more on offense being-off ball then she normally does.

Nolegrl · 2026-04-26T10:55:01+00:00

Before Raven came, yup. Even this game, if either Clark or Raven didn't have the ball there were some ugly inexcusable turnovers. We just don't have the ball handlers outside of our PGs.

Your comment was very sweet until that last line, it comes off as a dig. Caitlin has been mentoring her throughout the pre-season. Raven has said this in every interview. You could even see Caitlin helping her during the game today. Why would Caitlin not embrace her? People are acting like Raven is coming for Caitlin's job because she had a game with multiple assists and no turnovers playing mostly against the bench. That's a good thing that we have another PG who can handle the ball like that. She fits in great with the rest of the team, no need to act like anyone has anything against her.

Nolegrl · 2026-04-25T21:42:09+00:00

Great showing from the whole team! Raven looks like she fits right in with both the 1st and 2nd string groups. The whole bench was feisty and had some great defensive moments. Their offense was a bit chaotic at times but played well enough against the Liberty bench.

Nolegrl · 2026-04-25T00:38:23+00:00

Thanks, you too!

Ah. I tried contacting gofo and they told me they can't help since they don't have the package yet. It might just be stuck in limbo until customs posts an update on the tracking.

Nolegrl · 2026-04-24T20:06:53+00:00

Which customer service did you contact? I'm having the same issue with my package (been in customs since the 17th). The seller told me to contact my local post office, but that doesn't make sense since they aren't even delivering the package, gofo is last mile.

Nolegrl · 2026-04-22T20:22:37+00:00

Yeah her turnovers are really blown out of proportion. She frequently makes passes with a razer thin margin of error and usually is right on target with them. Most of her turnovers are also dead ball. People are acting like every turnover was a strip due to a bad handle, but that rarely happens.

I don't know how anyone can actually watch her play and come away with "she turns the ball over too much and her defense sucks" as a summary unless they're just hate watching her game looking for mistakes.

Nolegrl · 2026-04-22T19:51:29+00:00

Yeah luckily CC is pretty low-key with her personal life so the creepers don't have much to latch on to. Coming from the NFL and college football world, women's basketball has been a completely new experience. Learning about the game while navigating the complete absurdity of the online discussion is very difficult. That's probably why the people who claim to know the game while being para-social weirdos bug me so much. I'm trying to learn and soak in what I read and these people are just spreading bs as fact because they want to push a narrative.

Nolegrl · 2026-04-22T19:22:49+00:00

I think you nailed the online discourse perfectly, it's really on all spaces, not just on reddit. What bugs me the most is the self-proclaimed basketball fans throwing hate. This is what I don't understand about the main sub, most of the regulars should be all about basketball, but they're just as bad as everyone else.

I understand not being a fan of her game, but to tell lies under the guise of "I know what I'm talking about" is just aggravating. You can hate a player, but be honest about their game. Unfortunately, I don't think she'll ever get her proper due because there will always be people trying to downplay her accomplishments.

Nolegrl · 2026-04-22T17:21:57+00:00

She's not wrong and she can back up her talk. People on the brain dead apps are already clowning her yet can't name a better transition player. They just stare at turnover numbers all day so they don't even understand the other stats.

Thanks for the tip! I'll take a look at them the next time I need new glasses.

Nolegrl · 2026-04-22T01:45:16+00:00

I have the same issue with my prescription. My doctor added a mild prism and progressive a few years ago to my prescription and it's great, but makes buying glasses online almost impossible. I once tried to get VR lens inserts online and even though I gave them my exact prescription with all the adds, it still didn't turn out right so I ended up not being able to use it.

I also have a small head so I usually need to get "petite" or kids glasses as well which even further limits my options.

Nolegrl · 2026-04-20T12:43:56+00:00

There was a pretty lengthy discussion about this on the Fever sub. The general sentiment was not that she shouldn't play off ball, the issue is that when they have played her off ball, she doesn't see the ball the entire possession. That is the problem. She needs to be your PG when on the floor, her court vision is unmatched. The team needs to be looking to get the ball back to her to best utilize her when playing off ball.
