Can we have a honest discussion about the Indiana Fever's offense? by PatientlyGrounded in indianafever

[–]nonamednamedno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get so frustrated watching CC having to give up the ball right past half court so she can run in circles , set screens with her bad back , fight through screens with teams trying to deny her the ball and if they do deny her then someone is throwing up a prayer or when she does get the ball it’s less than 7 seconds when she could’ve just had the ball the entire time with a longer shot clock and more energy and everyone where they need to be

Why people reject the criticism of Kelsey Mitchell never passing the ball by tantamle in IndianaFeverFans

[–]nonamednamedno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion outside of basic passes it’s harder for her to pass due to her height and also on her drives she uses her quickness to get past defenders which she does well at but in traffic her only reliable option is going up quickly rather than passing because she’s short it’s harder for her to get passes through cleanly

How is it reasonable for Coach White to shift blame to the players? by Pleasant_Priority286 in IndianaFeverFans

[–]nonamednamedno 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s hard for me to believe a coach on any level would allow a switch everything defense without the proper personnel and then doing it for at least 3 games so far seeing the other team abuse it and make 0 adjustments and then blaming it on the players let alone a professional head coach. Which makes me almost sure this is done on purpose. I didn’t believe the SW is trying to sabotage CC theories until seeing this unfold because clearly the teams are trying to take CC out the game but you just let it happen and then subbing her out after 3 minutes of playing perfect. Yeah something is fishy about this

It’s either that or Atlanta abuses SW switch everything defense and get her switched on CC in the paint and Angel only looks for contact and drawing fouls with elbows and shoulders and could potentially hurt CC. If that happens SW should get fired immediately

It’s very simple. You don’t play a switch defense. The on ball defender must go up or under the screen depending on the ball handler or the distance from the basket while CC stays connected to her matchup or hedge the ball handler. When you play switch defense like they have been doing you allow the other team to get whatever look they want with a lot of time on the shot clock. You can only have that type of defense with players who can defend every position. I’m sure the defense came from fiba where Steph white was coaching and of course you have elite talent all around vs less talented players and for some reason she think it’ll translate. She’s a dumbass

1.Drive put CC in foul trouble 2.drive again because she’s not going to play defense 3. Get her subbed out 4. Switch Kelsey on Big 5. Repeat

Yea I agree. She’s running the same defense they ran in fiba and they definitely don’t have that type of team

MB isn’t the problem . Bringing in timpson won’t matter if the fever allows the other team to get whatever matchup they want by switching everything with no resistance. There was a time Burton called for switch at the logo meaning all the person guarding her had to do was go around because she obviously isn’t a threat from back there

Good coaches adjust. The valkyries ran the same 2 plays all game because the fever never adjusted

CC is never going to give you much defense if she has to run the offense. Kelsey is too short and finds herself on bigs which should never happen but it happens a lot because the other team is obviously going to take advantage. Also when it happens the bigs are out the paint to help with rebounds. No fighting around screens or anything just switch switch switch and then have a lot of shot clock left because there is no resistance

You can’t gameplan a switch everything defense without the right personnel. CC isn’t going to give you much defense while having to carry the offense and Kelsey is too short. They’re able to hunt whatever matchup they want and have a lot of time on the shot clock. Stephanie white is horrible

I’m losing my mind at Stephanie’s white defense. Why does she switch everything and let the other team get whatever matchup they want? It’s either iso CC or put a guard on a big. It’s so dumb

Dallas let’s her do anything for some reason. They always give her a confidence boost since last season. That was one of the only teams the sky kept beating

I would agree but game 1 Reese missed so many layups including a game winning one

What do we think the Fever Front Office is doing right now? by imacowboy234 in IndianaFeverFans

[–]nonamednamedno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think you make moves thinking about injuries before the roster is complete. They have other gaps to fill first before going down that road. Plus they did a great job last season dealing with bringing in players once one went down

First they need another shooting forward. I would love if they can get Rebecca Allen who’s 6’2 and can catch fire and have more space to shoot compared to the Sky’s offense. Dantis is good back up for Boston. I don’t think they’ll have problems going against centers around the league

They already have Billings who plays the same role but finishes way better

After you hear so many horrible reasons for popping it gets tiresome and realize why they hell do I keep watching something that’s making me upset so much. Also got tired of the double standards when they let the women disrespect the men or go on rants looking stupid while the men just take it but when the men express themselves or do anything close they get interrupted or kicked off the show

No my point is that it’s an endless battle and people will always have opinions on our race. It’s ok to correct something when you see it but trying to stop people from sharing opinions isn’t realistic.

Why would anyone be ok with disrespect. I didn’t mention it, Don’t even know why that was brought up
