“Caitlin Clark MVP Facing Suspension 18 PTS 9 ASTS I Fever Postgame I Aces Beat Fever I WNBA 2024”

this is the Money Mike syndicated Radio podcast we got the Indiana Fever that's right they fall again to the Las Vegas Aces 7874 it was a game uh had a lot of twists and turns the fans enjoyed it but the Indiana Fever did not get it done backto back nights and uh we're going to break it down for you and see if we can get you back on track with the Indiana Fever you know it was interesting game it wasn't one that you would really look at and say well how did the Indiana Fever do did they play good they play bad I mean I got two for you the first one that's the only team that you guys won't have taken down this season What specifically about Vegas was so tricky for you guys I think the other night it was um we just couldn't put the ball in the hole and I think tonight you know you you hold Vegas to 78 points you you keep him under 20 for three of the four quarters you know I honestly you know we missed nine free throws at home like we battled um I I just keep telling them like we're we're we're right there and they have to believe it but we just got to make sure we take care of business with things that you have to do I mean I think they only had one offensive rebound all night I mean we did some of the things that just we that hurt us the other night but you know you got to get to that free throw line and make those free throws and they play play all over the place uh you know it it it was a lot of twists and turns in the night's game but the Indiana Fever couldn't get it done they couldn't come back they couldn't overcome the free throw misses uh that they have so what's the tail of the tape let's go to the box score and let's see what the box score tells us tonight I always can find out if I got a win or a loss or how did we lose the ball game the Indiana Fever again they fall 7874 but you want to look at this colle itively uh you got Caitlyn Clark what did she do seven of 18 two of eight uh two of four coming in there from the free throw line finished with 18 points six turnovers okay nine assists eight rebounds okay CR the game at a zero okay you lose by four you played a little better than that double bake so much what is that kind of front court size their ability to spread it out with that group really do to stress your defense and why do you think it was such a challenge this whole season really um I mean I thought they tossed a lot of different lineups at us I think at times whether they went small with Clark at the four or whether they went big with Stokes at the four um I thought we could have done a better job of getting some high lows especially when Clark was playing at the four um but I don't know I think moving the ball a little bit better obviously like we struggled to struggled to shoot it again very well I mean I thought we played really good defense and put our in a position to to win the game um missing nine free throws really hurts us so um I think we could have done a better little bit better job um adjusting and trying to exploit the certain things that you can um whether they're giving us a small lineup or or a bigger lineup Lexi Hull got on the court played 35 minutes uh finished up a minus5 I mean Lexi just is out there just giving us all she got on the defensive end and trying to make it work Kelsey Mitchell carried it in the first half uh really had to carry it pick it up and uh get it back on track uh it's played uh 35 minutes finished with 20 points minus 10 Tony want start recording in progress Kelsey that Vegas team is going to be the only group you guys don't take down this year what was it about them that was such a tricky matchup throughout the year uh they are are interchangeable I'm an interchangeable group um I think you know they at least eight that could play one through four um in different positions and you know D stret have been a pro how how to deal with situations like that and I we fell short of trying to get that done but uh you look further you got Boston gives you 30 minutes 6 and 10 0 and2 from the three-point line gets eight rebounds two assists finish out minus three ni Smith minus 99 that one there 28 minutes Dantes comes in there plus one gives you 11 P bignet 13 minutes and you know you're looking at it but to uh Caitlyn Clark and you know with Caitlyn here's here's the thing with Caitlin that uh and like I said most when you do these translations or you hear me communicate with you or hear me speak they got about 25 50 people that watch out for this so it it's going to get back the deal at cayton's got to really going to have to understand you don't have to score in the in immediate it's not an immediate urgency for Caitlyn Clark to score go Jacob the Matt Caitlyn all your points coming in the second half tonight was there any sort of adjustment you made at halftime to kind of lead to to that turnaround uh no I mean it was definitely a tough first half but um I think just you know reset going in the locker room room reset and honestly proud of myself for how I finished put together a decent game um obviously would have liked to see a couple more shots go down um and make a couple more free throws but um I thought I was able to respond and bounce back well and that's that's sometimes really hard to do especially when you know you get some tough calls there in the first half that don't go your way and then you know the ball wasn't really rolling my way either to start the game so um proud of myself and uh proud of our team I thought we were resilient there was a lot of things that just didn't just didn't go our way so um but overall I think we kind of did it to ourselves um I'm proud like I said I'm proud of our defense but there was just areas where we could have you know executed a little bit better than made free throws as well and that's all part of it now let's get to the hand let's get to the issue that everybody wants to talk about Kaylin got another technical uh she got another technical tonight and she's slapped on on the base of the basket uh and and what it is it the referees the officials WNBA officials they think of it as a classic classless act you're showing us up you got us out here and you're making a fool About Us by telling us we missed the call now go Chloe then we'll go Christine yeah um Caitlyn mentioned you know she know hitting the ston is is you know a tech but it's still tough that she got it in the first quarter just what kind of conversation did you have with her about that when she was on the bench I'm sorry the first part of that question was what kind of oh hitting the Sten and she knows it's like a tech but you know it's still tough yeah you know you know she's just we've just got to make sure that we don't let outside things that we have no control over like affect us um especially early in the game you know I think she uh she got fou and miss those two free throws and then you know got frustrated um with the officiating at times but like that's where we've got to be better and we've got to you know handle those things it's not going to be perfect those guys aren't going to be perfect we're not perfect but I think we lost some some time with you know with that frustration so that's just something we're talking about we're growing um and then after that she came out in the second half and was you know she let it go and she was a different player and that's you know just can't have that first quarter laps like that go that is the possibility of truth that is correct now when you get to that level of Caitlyn reach tonight because here's the deal Caitlyn didn't score in the first half okay and that's called pressing that's pressing pressing pressing and when you look at it the Indiana Fever okay if you look at the box and you look at what did they do or how did they get in there and you got to really understand chrisy sides because when you understand chrisy sides uh you know it really all has to make sense and some of it doesn't make sense to me uh with Christy sides and chrisy sides has got to develop quickly I mean you're going against Becky Hammond and Becky's just going to dial you up and treat you bad and there is no love loss comes out of Becky Hammond now last game the The Bench scored 30 points okay the bench scored 30 points what did their bench do for him tonight okay the bench went in there the night they only had 12 points okay so you Haze I tell you the key to the a is you got to contain Haze I'll tell you you contain Haze you contain that [ __ ] okay there's no doubt about it but let's go up there and let's look at the 300 monster and I look at this to say okay where did they win the game where did they lose the game I got a three-headed monster gets me 51 points tonight off the Las Vegas Aces okay so here's the deal you got uh gray gets you 21 you got Plum get you 18 and you got Jackie young get you 12 right so you fall back and you go to three-headed monster the Indiana Fever okay cuz they got to match that up okay they got 51 and you come here you got uh Kelsey Mitchell gets 20 Lexi Hull gets two and you got Caitlyn Clark bounces in there and gets you 18 so they lost the three-headed monster battle there anything specific you'd like to see your iron out in these last two games to feel fully ready for the postseason yeah I feel like we we come out of the half and we I don't know what we need to do to get off to a better start this the second time of had to call a timeout I think we they went on a 5 run and I just took it real quick and then I think we held them to 12 points after that I mean those are just things that like you know that's what good teams do like we don't you you don't have a low to come out of the half like it's the first three minutes you have to play it like it's the last three minutes of the game to start that momentum there's no doubt about it 51 to 40 now when you get in there and Lexi hold uh couldn't get it going you know I mean your legs and everything you you got to guard you got think about it you got Chelsea Gray one of the best in the business okay you talk about Williams you talk about Chelsea Gray and you talk about kayen Clark now Caitlyn Clark's one of the best in the business now let me tell you what I saw tonight that I hadn't seen Caitlyn got as I I I'll just tell it to you she got pissed off Caitlyn got pissed off tonight and went into a Zone and a bag of moves we haven't seen all season long all season long if there's anything Christy siid could do is take a look at what Caitlyn did in the second half and pressure her to do that again and again and again because she got in a Zone and she got frustrated she got upset okay she had a zero a goose egg okay in the first half so you're talking about a person coming back in 18 in a second okay I mean really frustrated frustrated with the officials Jacob and Chloe you kind of alluded to this with the Miss free throws but Kelsey and Caitlyn both kind of had a sense of letting this one get away you're kind of shooting yourself to in the foot is that a sense that you have after tonight yeah I mean I you know Vegas is is one of the best teams in this league and we held them to 78 points and you know our defense keeps getting better but we've got to just make sure you know we we did have a couple defensive breakdowns late where we didn't get out to I know Kelsey Plum late in the corner um we just have to do a little bit you know better job communicating uh but like we you know we got to make sure that we're taking the best shot for our team we had some great high low looks during the game especially when they had Clark at the four you know we just got to make sure we always talk about getting that advantage that Advantage is mismatches at time we have to make sure we we take advantage of those whoever you got to run that offense through you got to run it through the we call it run it through the washing machine you got to run that offense through the washing machine you cannot allow Caitlyn to give an entry okay and Advance it now you're going to down screen run three you got to keep working that offense and you should be able to work it for the whole 24 second clock and you should get about four options out of that four options out of that offense okay if the fever are going to go and play playoff basketball they got to get through the offense they're getting better there's no doubt about it Boston is in there battling it up okay but for Caitlyn number one you got to get to know the officials okay there's no doubt about that you you you got to get to know him you got to get him on a first name basis and you got to talk to him because this isn't College anymore okay nobody's going Mr official or coach everybody in the League's on a first name basis so you know if you get in there and you don't like it even with dick vetta I mean you be in there with dick vetta he's like he was just a hilarious old official but you get in there and you call Dick crazy dick are you crazy you know Bobby Knight call him by name and you get you get more that you can go with if you get a relationship going Kaylin's going to have to do that uh because you know this thing of throwing your hands up every time you get a call you don't like that's that's really you know showing up official okay then Alexa chrisy following up on that at halftime do you is there any conversation with her do you see a change because you're right I mean she comes out and is you know just as you said her own self incredible almost I guess she didn't quite have a double doubles it turns out but I think she did didn't she well apparently they took away an assist according to our expert over here oh okay anyway it was a double double or close and played great right well can you kind of tell walk us through that I mean is is there any conversation at halftime or or does she kind of self-reset or is there a little combination of both thanks yeah I think it's it's both for sure you know I think we talked about you know just that first quarter and and we can't let that affect us so much um you know the officials let me handle the officials um and then I know she had a conversation Jesse Miller as her her um her coach that she spends a lot of time with watching video they I know they had a conversation and then I talked to her right before we started I mean she just needed a reset I mean she's you know she's just passionate she's competitive um you know she's just got to be able to move on to that next play if you do that they've had meetings they've talked they're going to let this game go and you're just going to have to grow up now so you're not a rookie anymore and uh couple more games the whole rookie year is over and you go to the playoffs but you got the Connecticut Sun staring you down the barrel okay you got the Connecticut Sun staring you down the barrel you got a control and contain some of this and uh Christy sides has got to just let us know what direction you're going to go and uh you know you get Christy sides taking the podium and I'm telling you if I can't get Christy sides you know they are anyana of fever the team needs to put up some money and uh just pay Christy sides off to take a technical cuz it's tired of you telling us let me worry about the official you're not doing anything you're not doing anything you know what get kicked out of a game and turn it over to your assistant coaches okay cuz you're not going to you're not going to whip okay some of this that you're going against and I'm going to tell you right now you're not going to whip there ain't no way okay I'll be honest there's no way you're going to whip Becky Hammond okay I'm just being honest with you there is no way you're going to whip Becky Hammond why why you can't whip Becky Hammond cuz Becky went through this thing undrafted was a player was hard knows and I'm going to J you spent time in the San Antonio Spurs organization folks if you get to Greg papovich okay you get the pops okay this guy you know you wouldn't even notice him I mean you wouldn't even notice you saw him but this guy is a walking basketball genius that mentored Becky Hammond so every single every single play every single step Becky Hammond takes she's already been educated on okay so you got it's almost a it's almost a David and Goliath when he comes to coaching okay and Becky keeps running these things at you different sets got you moving in different directions got you taking away things that you like to do that you don't get to do it's figured out how to take away Caitlyn shot I mean all this thing I mean I mean let's be honest she could I mean she can say Greg what are you doing you watching film no you watched a couple games and tell me what I need to do when you got that kind of access okay folks you talk that kind of access Becky Hammond's got I mean here's the deal that chrisy Sid's got to understand is you know one time Greg got himself kicked out of the ball game you know what I got I got an assistant coach named Becky Hammond it's a female coach in the WNBA you know what he went out there early got banged out bang bang Becky take the team okay and that that's what a coach has to do you got to stand up for your players okay and that's something that Chrissy sides is afraid to do okay I don't even think she's ever been kicked out of a game in her life so this will be a total different experience but when you're staring down the barrel of the gun okay the barrel of the gun the gun is Becky Hammond okay you're going to have to you're going to have to get in there and you're going to have to really fight for your team now uh Alexa go ahead uh Christie you've mentioned kind of a few different things that would apply here but what is your message I guess for to the team after a game like this or after the last um two about kind of the gap between you know the teams like Vegas that obviously they gold standard won two championships and you guys where you guys are right there but what it kind of takes to get over the hump and beat a team as good as them yeah I mean that was my first I mean when I walked in the in the locker room they have to know that we're there like we've you know we've worked our asses off um to to get to where we are you know just being um consistent with their effort uh daily since we got here it just it's been getting better ever since um on both ends of the floor and at at you know when we played Vegas early we weren't there you know and they got us but right now like they've got to really believe that we are there with those guys um and and I think they do and now we just have to find ways to not have those laws that we're having um the first quarter start of the third quarter you know we just can't have those if you're going to you know that was that was playoff basketball out there tonight and you've got to make sure that you know you are um not giving them any opportunity to take any advantage of of times where you know you're frustrated or you know it's just not going our way and we take several possessions off you just can't do that with these great teams way Indiana Fever did a great job tonight of growing up okay kayen Clark did a great job in the second half of getting pissed off okay and doing moves we haven't seen her do all year okay but she wanted it so bad she wanted it she could taste it right so when you get a situation like that that the Indiana Fever have grown up they're getting better they're getting better of playing physical basketball they're not getting better at the game of basketball they're getting better to becoming physical Minnesota's going to treat you like a like a stepchild Connecticut's going to walk in there and treat you like a stepchild okay the Las Vegas aces are going to treat you like a stepchild you are the stepchild of the WNBA you're not even supposed to be here Indiana Fever let her know be competing in a playoff game now what you got next okay you bounc out of this you got a couple more games that uh and the next game's going to be emotional let down that's going to be emotional let down because there's no way you can get up if your playoff position's not changing best thing Christy sides could do is start doing load management get them off their legs and get ready for Connecticut last two Brad and Brian on the right chrisy a little more kind of about the playoff conversation two losses here but can you take something from the collective of these 80 minutes that you learn about when you get to that in a couple weeks to say okay when we're in a playoff setting and we need a w on the road we can do XYZ better than we did this week yeah I mean it's it's the execution it's the the bounce back from um the frustration um I think we took what we did against them the other night and learned from it and and totally fixed some of the things that that really helped us especially on the on the defensive end again you know make making non-f free throws changes this game or you know just making a few of those not even all nine um when you're at home though that's you've got to put the ball in the hole from the free throw line and uh but we will we will take something from this we made it like a a playoff series you know so right now we're going home because we just lost two games so we've got to regroup figure out what we can do to get better get ready for Dallas um players are playing a lot of minutes we got to make sure we get them some rest and get what they need so we're ready to go on Sunday Caitlin Clark's got another drill down she's got to go play and that's DJ Carrington I mean that that one there try to get in your head more than anyone in the league I mean she's going to do all kind of crappy stuff I mean all kind of stuff can go down but the uh Indiana Fever have got to figure out okay where they at and not get so emotional okay and I say emotional that's what I mean by emotional right here you call it uh Christy side she'll tell you you got to make free throw that's aemotion that's just a motion for them to go to the line 11 and 20 now here's where Kaylin Clark's got to realize okay Kaylin come on okay we can't have you going to line going 0 and2 cuz you're upset okay and Caitlyn gets upset a lot her dad talked about it for a long time and here's a deal that can happen and there's enough medical professionals in the world that can uh kind of put a science or relationship to this and really answer the question or put it in the comment with all the emotion that Caitlyn Clark does okay being upset at officials or calls or situations how much energy is being taken away from the game okay and that's where Kaylin's got to you got to be mentally tough I tell you what to play in the WNBA you got to be mentally tough to be a point guard a point guard in the WNBA you got to be extremely mentally tough and to be a point guard on the Indiana Fever it's us against the world you got to be so mentally tough and resilient that nothing can bother your concentration your locked in you're locked in mat and Alexa yeah Caitlin last time you hit the base of the basket uh you know crazy the the ref told you was disrespectful um was just wondering if you got another explanation tonight I mean they're never going to overturn that it's just one of the rules I guess um of the game so it's in the rule book it is what it is um that's why I mean I tried to get my last one taken away they just didn't take away um and it stinks because I feel like at half of my technicals this year I got one for the inadvertent contact to the face in the Minnesota game and then two for hitting the the stanion of the basket so it's like one was a complete accident and then the other two were um just a little frustration with myself so um I think I could done a better job um keeping my emotions in in check but at the same time like really so I don't know I mean but it is a rule so they have to call it and I get it it's just it's tough and that's something that to become a champion in the WNBA the Indiana Fever they have the Personnel it's whether or not the horse trainer and this goes back to Christie because you got to look at Becky Hammond and I told you about Becky Becky's got her horses in line okay that's good horse trader I told you Don Staley's a good horse trader gets those horses in line the coach's job is get the players prepared to play okay to get them to do things they're comfortable doing don't put him in game situations are not comfortable doing if you can tell me that Ayah Boston which she almost made the shot I think she shoots it better you got to have her lining up for threes all game long but you sent her over there to take that shot the game winner and then come out of the press conference and say I was comfortable with it chrisy sides come on man we we we we have to do better at the job that we're required to do ran last one you had a chance to tie there with 30 seconds left and aiyah took the shot could you talk us through that possession and what you're looking for in that play yeah you know people know it's going to be really hard to get G Caitlyn a shot in those possessions like we want to make sure like she you know between her and Kelsey you give them both options um in that play that we ran they had a pin and they had a a hammer action on the weak side and they're going to take away something so you just have to be ready and K AB came to me right before and she said coach do you want me to spread out to the to the corner and three I said be ready cuz they're going to take that shooter away and she was it was a great shot it rimmed in and out I mean that was a great shot this girl has gone and worked really hard on that part of the game I have a lot of confidence in her um to take that shot I mean teams are going to scheme against Caitlyn Clark and Kelsey Mitchell they're going to do everything they can to make somebody else take that three um so it's just on us you know got to find a way to to get the ball in their hands and let them take it but I was so okay with that wide open three by Leah Boston right there here's the deal game one back in may we go back to May 25th right the fever play the aces in Las Vegas they lose 99 to 80 okay you go to game two okay the fever play the aces again they lose 88-69 okay now the fever game three they play the aces again okay now you're talking about 86 to 75 if you notice the gap's closing and here it is you play the fever again okay tonight and you come out there 7874 so the gap's closing we go L how do you think in a game like this how do you stay mentally sharp or poised when it's it feels really back in fourth kind of roller coaster you're down 13 at one point you come back and tie it yeah um I think for one you got to be a competitor I think that's just a part of the game um but for two I think for us we we stay poised enough to get back in a game and just goes to show what kind of group you're dealing with um so I can Pat ourselves on the back for not giving up um but not giving up is just not enough so I think we got to just keep going back to the dra drawing board and putting them on work the Indiana Fever used to be the bottom barrel of the league used to be where you'd go to get a win okay they lost the ball game tonight that that that I can accept Okay what I can't accept is uh Christy Sid's not uh saying let me handle the officials but you're not doing nothing but jumping up and down on on the sideline and you're not questioning any officials so there's no fear factor in you and you have to have the ability with with Becky Hammond and you guys saw it tonight you mean you want to talk about you want to change the game Becky Hammond change the game okay let me tell you why Becky Hammond's going to change that game on you cuz Becky Hammond went to that official tonight okay and and and let me tell you what she told them they got the call wrong and got the call changed okay ch you got to dig down deep and be a pro coach I repeat the coaches that you're going up against it's not the players okay here's the deal folks I'mma put it to you straight up some will agree and some won't it's not the players okay it's not the players of the Indiana Fever and going into this and why they're not winning the game it's the pedigree okay of the coaching okay so you got to go look at who you're going to go up you're going to go up against Reeves you got Noel okay you got to look at some of the coaches that you going up against when you go head to-head and you're the horse trader you got to win that dog on ball game and and and and I'm going tell you what we don't have the coaching experience to go up in there and outd some of these team and have situational basketball game time adjustments at the right time matth and Maddie yeah Kelsey on Wednesday um you were saying that as a leader that you needed to you know sort of help the group bring the confidence um tonight was closer you know you didn't get the result but um do you think that you brought that confidence enough to win I think so I think that it came down to um a little bit more Logistics um for us is about you know we we're we experienced something that we haven't experienced before tonight and I think that you know we could you utilize it as as fuel for the playoffs but I think that this was a good you know step in the right direction considering how what history says about us in playing Vegas I think we made a lot of great steps today this is not a game folks this is just like the NBA and I'll tell you what if you don't have the physical presence to play in the wa I repeat if you don't have the physical presence in the Indiana Fever have that physical presence to get in there and battle this game out okay battle it out you're talking about they well we held them to 78 points that's an excuse that you need to get off your shoulder and get on with life because here's what you got you took 62 shots they took 70 okay they shot 40% you shot 45% from the from coming in there from the three-point line you launched it up 30 times you shot it out there 30% they matched you 30% you see where I'm going here folks they shot the ball we got 55% at the free throw line they get 72% really what does that equate to it doesn't equate to much cuz you made 11 and then they made 13 okay here's the deal you can walk down this and you can keep searching till you find it and when you find it you're going to know now what happened they got 22 assists and we got 17 that that's the deal they got a couple blocks and when you look at the bench when we shut down their bench the starters just exploded and then um just going up against Vegas obviously they're kind of the gold standard having won the last two championships what do you feel like this group has learned about what it takes to go up against a team like that and um you know the small details that might matter to try beat them yeah I think I mean I think we have moments where we're where we're really good and then we have moments where we you know have some lapses like to beat a team like this I feel like we said this so much this year like we can't have chrisy calling a timeout right to start the third quarter like that's something that just can't happen for us and I feel like that's happened so much this year to start the second half is like having to use a quick timeout cuz they go on a 550 run or 60 run or something like that so um I think we clean up that area but at the same time I think it should provide us some confidence you know every single time we've played this team we've gotten better and better and closer and closer and to see how far we've come from where we first started I think it was the our seventh or sixth game of the year and uh I think we gave up 99 points and lost by about 20 so and now I felt like we were really in this game and you know we convert a few more times and convert our free throws you know hopefully we're walking away with win you know what here's the biggest thing on J Christy side's got to have a two option she's got to have two guard option or two got to have a guard because you can't here's the deal what you can't do and there's not a professional team ever going to let you just give the ball to Kaden Clark every single time you got to have a second player in the wing you can do a point. 2 3 point4 okay you can run it as a0 five I mean really but the only five probably be Boston I haven't seen her ball handing still to get a point for you got to find I think it's Lexi hle you got to have somebody take the pressure off so you can go ahead and get the ball in and you can't have Caitlyn run everyone and I and I'll be honest with you about another thing Kon Clark not a shooter this hasn't been allowed to be a shooter in the WNBA this year and I repeat kayen Clark hasn't allowed to be a shooter in the WNBA playing for the Indiana Fever what you have kayen Clark is doing is being a shopmaker being a shot maker right because the shots of Caitlyn taker super hard I mean though it if you were playing on any other team it' probably be ill advised shots okay now what does that do you get a player that you you got doing that let her play that way now you got to take pressure off and you gotta you got to run that offense through because I'd really I'd really like to see kayen Clark take a shot with shot clock winding up catching a pass 5 Seconds to go and does a quick move gets the shot up because the way you're doing it now is it doesn't make sense and you're asking to go in there and be a shot maker okay a shot maker and here's the deal you you know you got it in there 2 for8 tonight so what that a equate to that's 3 for 18 in this in the two game series right three for 18 from the three-point line so if you want Caitlyn to do as well as you want Caitlyn to do a three-point line you got to run that thing through and she's got to relocate and exchange relocate and exchange okay you can't send the pass in Stand stagnant okay relocate means you swing on through exch mean if you got the play there you're on the wing you're not getting the ball go exchange with the corner exchange or go crosscourt exchange there I mean there's a bunch of exchanges and that that's really all that ever happens in the offense exchange relocate ex uh chrisy Sid that's not good coaching okay you got you got a guard who's a shot maker and not a shooter she's really a shooter but the play for the Indiana Fever she has to be a shop maker she went over to New York Liberty she wouldn't have to do that she went over to she wouldn't have to do that goes over to Connecticut Sun you don't have to do that you go over to the Minnesota LINK she doesn't have to do it to be a shot maker okay these guys get points in the offense and that just tells me that the pedigree that you're dealing with is a huge difference now who am I going to give some kudos to who uh really is just really just stepped in I'm going to give some kudos to Aaliyah Boston okay because every night that Boston goes in there and she knows it she's from Yukon she she she had enough of Asia Wilson finally had enough okay and I've had enough of you and I'm going to take you on like you're going to take me on like you said pop poop I'm going to bop you back just like you bop me sign the play Christy side you give it to Boston you tell us you're very comfortable in the press conference doing that now we got to find out if you're so comfortable then we need to see Boston shooting those shots in the playoffs because you never want to put players in a position that they're not even used to being in not even in practice but this is the Money Mike syndicated Radio podcast we're powered up by Fanatics only thing I can tell you I like what I saw I do not like the uh excuses and I'm GNA tell you this Chrissy Sid's got to tune up because the coaches you're going against man oh man I'mma tell you finally tonight she finally said you know oh well we yeah we we didn't do our best he didn't praise him as much as she been praising but here the
