Caitlin Clark led the Indiana Fever offense against the Las Vegas Aces on Sunday, registering a double-double with 19 points, three rebounds and 10 assists. However, her efforts were in vain as the Aces rallied behind a 31-20 run in the fourth quarter to win the game 89-81.
Fans expressed their disappointment at Indiana's loss in the comments on Fever's post on X.
One fan called out Fever coach Stephanie White.
"Clark needs to have the Fever coach fired today. Caitlin needs to have the rock in her hands during close games. Even the Bulls figured out how to play MJ into multiple rings. CC is being wasted," the fan commented.
"Something has to change…what we’re doing is not working…no way we’re worse then last year 🤦🏼♂️" another fan said.
"NOT AGAIN!!! I was struggling to stay awake, but I ended up falling asleep. I'm embarrassed that you lost yet again!!! Get a grip!!! 😡" another fan said.
"Coaching staff failing this team. Front office failed their task this offseason with coaches and players. They have CC in her head now. If this continues, they could cause serious harm to their marquee asset," another fan said.
While most fans expressed disappointment in Fever's loss, others blamed Caitlin Clark for her poor showing.
"If CC is playing poorly, the team is off. I still think she holds that ball too much. Team is standing around while she plays pick and roll with Boston. That is not a winning formula," one fan said.
"Bad CC today, the stat sheets will show a double-double, but if you watch the game, it was horrible," another fan said.
Although Caitlin Clark ended the game with a double-double, she was quite inefficient. She went 7-for-20, including 1-for-10 from the 3-point line.
Caitlin Clark takes responsibility for her team's 89-81 loss against the Aces
After suffering a disappointing loss on Sunday, Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston sat down for a post-game press conference where they answered the media's questions.
Clark acknowledged the mistakes that led to a second consecutive Fever loss.
"We've kind of just shot ourselves in the leg consistently doing that," Clark said. "We turn the ball over. We foul a lot. Those are just easy points for them... I think that had 18 from our turnovers and that's mostly falls on me." (0:10)
