Indiana Fever Head Coach Blasted After Giving Lame Excuse Following Another Loss

Caitlin Clark’s rookie season has been challenging, as the Indiana Fever dropped to 1-8 following a 103-88 loss to the Seattle Storm.

Despite her team’s struggles, Clark, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, continues to perform admirably.

She tallied 20 points, nine assists, and three rebounds in Thursday night’s defeat.

After the game, Clark voiced her frustration with the WNBA officiating.

Meanwhile, Fever coach Christie Sides attributed the team’s defensive woes to a lack of practice time.

“I just think we’ve not had the practice time,” Sides stated. “That has a lot to do with it. 103 points is just too many.”

Sides’ remark is contentious given that all teams had equal practice time before the season commenced.

Fans on social media weren’t impressed.

She’s horrible

Have they not had the same “practice time” as the other teams? She’s a joke

People keep hearing Christie Sides use the excuse that they’re a young team with little practice as the reason for them playing like shit when all this time it’s been her coaching.
She literally sucking the life and confidence out of her players one at a time. GM need to step in

As the Fever aim for their second win, they will face off against Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky this Saturday.
