Yet another double-double for the golden rookie, only to fall hard in the eyes of the fans. Seems like nothing that Caitlin Clark does is going to be enough for the WNBA spectators if the Indiana Fever does not win. After the game, Skip Bayless provided some positive criticism to the rookie. However, the basketball fans only see one fault in the team– their head coach Christie Sides.

After Caitlin Clark and the squad lost to the 2x WNBA champions, the Sports Columnist expressed his emotions on his official X account. He wrote, “I’m sorry, but Caitlin Clark sold out another road arena, in Vegas – and once again disappeared in another 4th quarter. No offensive urgency or energy. Won’t shoot. So many careless turnovers. Something’s not right here.”

However, his scrutinizing gaze on the rookie did not end just there. During the game, Bayless also wrote, “It amazes me how little Caitlin Clark, greatest college scorer ever, hunts/creates her own shot, how quickly she defers, how unselfish to a fault she is. She just went 1-7 in the 1st half bc in part she wasn’t sure when she shot. Yes: 6 assts, 6 rebs. BUT NEED HER TO SCORE.”

Caitlin Clark fans divide the blame for Sides and the rookie

The Indiana Fever were doing fine until the last quarter when everyone seemed to have given up. Hence, the huge record-breaking crowd of 20,366 fans went straight to the internet to express their thoughts on the game. One fan showed their disappointment in Bayless with a sarcastic laugh. They mentioned how the point guard’s duty is not to make defensive plays but to facilitate the game and shoot. The follower suggested that the fault is in the team’s staff and management who cannot do a better job despite having Caitlin Clark, the generational talent at the helm.
