welcome everybody to WNBA hoop streams presented by Google we got a squad here today Rebecca L are chambers I’m Christine Williamson hey guys how are we [Music] [Applause] doing I think that means good it’s great we’re great we’re squatted up today okay it is a late tip all right I get it it’s 9:30 p.m. there’s a 10 p.m. tip out there in Los Angeles it’s totally okay it’s 700 p.m. on the west coast must be nice to be on the west coast you know it’s still sunny out there it’s still sunny outside here too so it’s fine maybe I don’t know we hav’t been outside in a minute anyways we got a good one tonight Beaver taking on the Sparks uh when you think initial thoughts Ari what are you looking forward to in this match up I’m looking forward to the Indiana stepping up you know we’ve seen them close in a little bit be a little bit more competitive settle into their confidence but the matchup in the post is what I’m worried about who can guard camon Brink Cameron Brink she can shoot from outside she’s in the paint she’s so versatile and then dear hambi Rebecca I know you know has been playing her best basketball lately yeah those two players have been looking really good and then the veteran back court for La has also been outstanding it’s interesting because Indiana right now is in the middle of a gauntlet of a schedule how are they going to respond they played two days ago flew yesterday playing again today so speaking of that uh you tweeted recently today was that today okay uh you were curious if the fever were going to sitck Ken Clark and Kelsey Mitchell tonight but next game against the well tomorrow the game against the aces it’s it’s uh the second of a back to back this is a gauntlet of a schedule it’s tomorrow is the seventh game in 12 days for the Indiana Fever and they’re in the midst of a stretch right now where they’re going to have 11 games in 20 days and how many of you guys think that tomorrow the Indiana Fever will beat the Vegas Aces probably not a a strong probability right but after that what happens they go home and they host um the Sparks which is a winnable game mhm they host the storm which they just lost 2 by two on the road winnable game they host the sky which could be a winnable game so to me if I am Indiana I am at least considering resting tomorrow any players that say or feel tired in any way and just to give a little bit of context for this the 11 games in 20 days has happened only once since 2007 and that was in 2011 and it was the Washington Mystics so this is historically a gauntlet and Al when you look at the the opponents that they have played they played Connecticut twice they played New York twice they’re going to be playing Vegas tomorrow those are the top teams in the WNBA last year top teams in the WNBA again this year I just think it’s something that should be considered which stinks for the fans if they did it because of course Vegas moved to a bigger building for the game tomorrow so but if you’re the Indiana Fever as an organization trying to win basketball games and thinking of the overall health and safety of all of your players but in particular K and Clark cuz she’s getting the most minutes and and Kelsey Mitchell because she’s coming off of the ankle injury I think it’s something that you have to consider now Rebecca my knee-jerk reaction was what makes her different than any other rookie you know nefisa ker her rookie year she she led the league in minutes played 33 orque agumba so what makes this particular situation different it’s what I say it’s it’s the gauntlet the the nature of the whole thing and and and um and I only say Caitlyn because she’s averaging the most minutes on the team she’s the only one who’s averaging more than 30 um but it’s also the backtack nature of it three and four days when when I used to play backto backs in the in the early couple years of the WNBA there’s nothing more grueling on your body than a back toback in three and four days and you’d come to practice the next day and I’m like you can make me run sprints all day don’t let the other post touch me my body was sore and aching and tired um so that’s the part of it some day sometimes that one day of extra rest plus the two they’re going to get when they return back to Indiana um could be enough to help fuel I don’t think Indiana is going to to do it um but I think it’s something that as an organization they should consider just because you’re trying to win games and tomorrow backto back against Vegas at their place probably not your best chance to get one yeah for sure that makes complete sense since we’re talking about the rookie that the entire world is talking about how about we do a little rookie report and just take a look at all of the rookies uh that we’ve been talking a lot about starting with Caitlyn Clark who obviously all eyes were on her when she started this season um she’s been a lot more impressive than I think her start was but I feel like people expected more out of her since so many there’s so much pressure on her possibly what do you see out of what she’s done so far Rebecca I’ve see not only from Caitlyn but I think it’s Caitlyn and the Indiana Fever have looked much better since their first two games she struggled a lot in the first two games and especially with her turnovers her teammates also struggled right alongside with her she would get blitzed and ball screens and they weren’t going to spaces on the floor where they were available she could get them the ball they have gotten better her teammates have gotten better and she has gotten better she’s been more efficient over her last three she’s averaging 20 a game and just under seven assists per game she still needs for those turnovers to come down but I think the team is certainly progressing uh in that first week of the season the team progressed a ton from game one to game five a major criticism with her in college was her IQ is so beyond her teammates and so whenever she’s trying to facilitate and move the ball down the court she has to make sure her teams are set and so what Indiana has to learn how to do is to get in place for her the cohesion of the full roster there’s a shock Factor here that’s going on when people are used to seeing an Iowa team that’s successful now these are the pros we keep saying it these are the pros now it’s a little different you have to come into your own everybody’s El lead and the one thing I want to point out too because I went back and was watching some film because the most hyped player before Caitlyn Clark came out was probably Sabrina y right you watched Sabrina’s first game 2020 in the bubble against this Seattle Storm and uh she’s in the left corner juel Lloyd is defending her ju Lloyd’s got like like a foot in the paint she’s playing normal help-side defense what have we seen this year with Caitlyn and Baney she’s 35 ft from the basket the ball’s in the left corner and Laney is stuck to her left yes but it’s it’s unprecedented I have never seen a rookie have you ever seen a rookie coming out who’s got this kind of defensive me out it makes everybody better so everybody’s stepping up to the defensive uh you know assignment and benaja Leni historically a great defender and so she said you know what this is she might be a rookie I’m GNA let her know what the WBA is like and that’s what I love but Rebecca I do want to ask you because the whole cohesion and trying to get the offense flowing with Indiana should the fever have drafted Kate Martin well but I don’t think they couldn’t because Vegas took him before they could take her didn’t celest they took Celeste Taylor oh four four positions before perhaps because Celeste Taylor hasn’t gotten out on the floor yet and Kate Martin obviously has done some nice things in Vegas okay uh let’s talk about another no it’s okay talk about another rookie because this is another person that obviously draws up a lot of attention and that is one former by you Barbie current shic shy Town Barbie shy Barbie there she is uh Angel Reese obviously we know uh what the sky were able to do against celebrity what have you seen out of Angel Reese so far she’s a competitor you know she has a knack for baiting her Defender into fouling she loves she takes pride in it we saw her do that to JN CLA Jones getting her fourth foul in the third quarter and her averages she’s is doing the things okay averaging 12 points per game 8.7 rebounds in 27 minutes those minutes are very effective she brings the energy she’s exactly a Teresa Weatherspoon player it falls into the exact culture that Chicago Sky wants to play into and we see that spark that spunk I mean she not on the Sparks but we see a spark coming out of her what what was interesting to me is coming out of college my curiosity with Angel and how her game was going to translate to the W is how is she going to handle much bigger and taller uh defenders in terms of able to her ability to score over them they play the New York Liberty she scored over Stewie she scored over John quell and I was like okay cuz she doesn’t have an array of moves inside she just gets great position and she finishes so well and she’s been able to continue to do that and part of it is just her Relentless nature she goes so hard all the time and has this incredible ability to get inside position to get those offensive boards and she continues to just be um really productive and we saw in the game against New York this most recent one uh you know she she gets a a pass transition uh and makes a nice pass for a layup to a teammate at one point she gets an offensive board in the fourth quarter pass out a huge three from Marina M she’s doing all those little things that are helping her team win and and I have to say I I I thought the size was going to bother her more than it has so far yeah it’s been very she’s asserting her position she doesn’t let anybody pum that’s what what we didn’t expect anything less from Angel R to be able to show just like just like that do you know who I am okay uh let’s go to another person that we’ve been talking about a lot and that is camon Brink obviously we expected her to do big things she’s going to the Sparks or playing for the Sparks this season what have you seen out of her Rebecca I mean she’s made an immediate impact on in particular the defensive end of the floor the one thing that’s interesting when you watch cam she looks like she belongs in the WNBA she looks like a starter in the WNBA has been able to finish inside and one of the things of course that she has to do and it’s something we talked about throughout the course of her college career is stop fouling she averages a foul at just about every six minutes if she can do that she’s just been a presence especially on the defensive end you know discipline on defense is something that we’ve been very critical about you know tightening up a little bit not doing those fouls but she’s a defensive presence and so being able to get disrupt people and block and rebound and what I love about her not only can she finish in the paint but she can go right there on that three-point line and shoot that thing I’m not like you know a lot of post players you’re like oh no don’t do that Rebecca you want to go shoot the three the three but no Cameron is very versatile and she is a sponge she wants to learn she wants to absorb the education of dear Hami yeah and she’s an underrated passer and I think uh Cameron’s time playing with the 3X3 over the course of the past year two has really helped her because she doesn’t look like a strong presence with her frame she’s a strong presence inside I like how you said she looks like a starter in the WNBA because did you guys see her show up to the game today her fit like she looks like she’s been in the W like she looks like she’s been playing professional sports for years and profession model literally like what yes literally modeling like today she has glasses on it’s so cute okay uh we have a quick mention our next player our next rookie Camila cardosa she’s expected to make a sky debut on June 1st returning from that shoulder injury what are your expectations for her when she gets back on the cor she’s another fighter she has a great dominant presence in the paint and she has the ability to have that onew punch combo with Angel Reese I’m excited to see her she she she I don’t like the word bully especially not dealing with you know Camila but she she can get down there and make her presence known okay she doesn’t let anything let up yeah and they don’t have a ton of size on the Chicago the Chicago front line is not that big they can be relentless and and one of the things that that Teresa Weatherspoon it’s three games in but Chicago is playing at a faster Pace than they did a season ago Camila is a big who can really run the floor that’s one of the things that impressed GM so much about her the like the last month of the season with South Carolina so hopefully she still has that Fitness coming off of the injury where she can get up and down like she had been certainly been very fun to watch the rookies so far obviously they’re changing the game in some ways um now it’s time to take a look at what fans are searching for presented by Google and what are they searching for oh I don’t know just best WNBA rookie so far it’s a breakout search in the US over the past week I know we’re only two weeks in okay but Rebecca when you look at these rookies who has been the best WNBA rookie so far I’m going to go back with Caitlyn Clark just because she’s been the most impactful when she is on the court she’s drawing so much defensive attention it’s helping things for her teammates as well again the last three games averaging 20 points and just under seven assists a game I raise your Caitlyn Clark and give you Angel Reese I want to read this so I’m not messing it up okay she’s the only rookie who has scored in double figures all games has 26 total rebounds 13th WNBA rookie to accumulate 35 Plus points 25 plus rebounds in the first three games Angel Reese not only is she e effective for her team but that just that personality she gives that fighter like I said Teresa Weatherspoon this is her type of player she knows how to get herself in position to really make people uncomfortable and that’s that’s what I love about her she makes people uncomfortable yeah it’s definitely been very fun to watch her I was just thinking when you were talking about um making people uncomfortable I’m about to go way off topic but still on the topic of angre re uh did y’all see that Tik Tok where she was talking about how she wanted some Wing Stop girl the funnyest thing the wi did you see it yeah when you like she was looking up from phone and she’s like wait give girl some wings we have to showc after we have to show after we have to after I don’t know what it was but when you said something I was like oh you remember when she was on Tik Tok talking about how she wanted Wing Stop okay look I was supposed to talk about camon speaking of wing wings span okay she it’s getting BL transition okay go no but Cameron bre same thing she is disruptive she can steal the ball she can block the ball she can grab the ball that rebound those boards Cameron Brink we we see you we see you she well how about this rookie class Ria Jackson is averaging 50 50% from the field Julie van Lou the point guard for Washington is leading the rookies with six assists a game there’s a lot of rookies making the mark in five games into the season like oh my God such a great class but yeah they are such a great class but it has only been two seconds in the league there’s still plenty of basketball to be played but I think the fact that they’re making an impact so early is crucial because I feel like we haven’t seen that from a lot of rookies in the past um Okay so it’s only been one week so let’s take a look back at the week that has been uh let’s get you caught up with what went down in the first week and a half Connecticut’s Alyssa Thomas and Minnesota’s nefisa Collier took home players of the week honors in week one so what stood out to you most Rebecca about nafisa’s game her efficiency and it’s something that has always uh stood out to me with nefisa klier and she gets it done at the defensive end as well she’s averaging two blocks per game uh but when she catches the ball inside the thing that always strikes me is she’ll draw a couple of Defenders and you’re like oh there’s nowhere to go if there’s a sliver of space nefisa ker will find it she is just so efficient with her body always in control she’ll catch the ball here comes a couple just this is going to be a perfect example just go to the open spot of the floor often times that would also be a step through as well scoring the basketball doing it efficiently she’s she’s I think 62 but really long block shots great defender she’s just getting it done everywhere all right and I also mentioned at what’s is one word that you would use to describe at’s game so far I describe Alissa Thomas as her team describes her the engine okay she does not stop and what’s worse than having an engine that’s playing with a chip on her shoulder mind you she had an MVP season last season did not get voted MVP and has been playing out of her mind since the triple doubles you see her on all ends of the floor you know Scot diin Smith said in college running into Alyssa Thomas is like running into a brick wall and nothing has changed she has a scary presence on the floor she is super scary because she impacts so many different parts of the floor so Alyssa Thomas is doing the things keep going all right so speaking of Alyssa Thomas the Connecticut’s son are the only undefeated team left in the W so obviously they’re going to eventually lose maybe who knows they might go undefeated All Season who knows first be the first how can they prevent yeah exactly how can they prevent getting that first sale well if you’re kind of looking out at their schedule and you’re saying all right what’s a team that has the best chance to beat the Connecticut Sun you would say the New York Liberty because a season ago Connecticut was 0 and4 against New York they were able to get one win against them in the playoffs and in that win what Connecticut was able to do successfully it was limit New York in transition in that game New York had zero fast break points Connecticut’s defense was on point and they were able to limit New York to 34 35% shooting from the perimeter but that is the team if you’re Connecticut you did not beat them at all in the regular season a year ago that would be the one granted they didn’t have Ranna Jones a season ago but uh that would be the one you would point to as as as the one that you know that’s the most probable loss for them uh in their upcoming schedule all right so I mentioned also we would obviously talked about um nefisa Kier she put up 31 points against the Sun the other day uh what do they need to do in order to beat the Liberty let’s keep feeding the ball to neisa if it ain’t broke don’t break it but also what we sleep on is Minnesota links’s ability to defend they’re at the top of the league defensively and so we cannot Overlook that but they just activated dorica so she’s another presence on the court and Alana Smith has really been showing up for them defensively too you want to talk about defense of Minnesota links we have to acknowledge Alana and N naticia heidman natia Hamman came back and or came up to the team show reev said come on over come on over baby and she has been delivering one thing we’re going have to keep on is an eye on as their injury report announced today that diamond Miller is out for an undetermined amount of time because of a knee injury that she suffered in the second quarter of the game against Connecticut that would be a huge loss for them if she’s going to miss considerable time all right so now as we step into to week two who do you think will get player of the week for week two I think it’ll be Kia copper K has been just ridiculous she had back-to-back games with I think 37 plus points coming off a 20o performance as well and the thing that’s been impressive to me is the degree of difficulty on some of these shots when she’s coming down the floor full speed me we’ve grown accustomed to seeing her out and transition and using her speed but her pullup game the way she’s been shooting the three ball her efficiency has been off the charts she’s been remarkable I would be shocked if she isn’t the Western Conference player of the week that’s coming no Rebecca I totally agree like the Kia copper is playing her mind out and the 20 points let’s she had a little ankle scare yesterday and so she got what 18 went down with the ankle injury and still finished and everything about Kalia coer is so crafty she’s so fun to watch and she’s efficient so all that craftiness those step backs and getting that space that’s done and she makes the basket it’s crazy but then on the other side we have the Eastern Conference which I don’t anticipate Elissa Thomas slowing down at all so you think either at or you think at gets weak too as well possibly they have a Eastern and a western conference player of the the week but we can’t sleep on Brianna Jones because the mo moment she continues to build her health and they get more comfortable on the court again or you could stay with Connecticut could be D B literally are we going about their roster top to bottom lowkey I would argue the most stacked the most stacked yeah the most veteran um seasoned team top to bottom I tell you what coming into this season you knew you had the big three with danana Bonner Alissa Thomas uh and um who’s the other one that Bri Jones Brianna Jones sorry uh the question was the back court what is their back court going to look like uh you know they lost Tiffany Hayes they lost antia heid and what and then uh Ty Harris has been absolutely terrific D Carrington I know you’re talk about her later she has been Stellar so it’s like oh they do have a legit back to match the big three up front and they have depth as well yeah Connecticut is good yeah all right uh you got to sit down with somebody earlier Kelsey Mitchell while they were in their shoot around against La out there in LA so let’s take a look at your conversation we have Kelsey Mitchell the Indiana Fever I adore you and I’m so happy that you’re here let’s just get straight to it Kelsey you just got done with shoot around what are your thoughts tonight it’s a make a break moment for us uh first five games were out the way um we’re 0 and5 got a donut and I think for us this is the west coast is not easy um we playing really great teams on this side of on the side of town so I think for us it’ll make a Breakers as far as like where our energy is and where we’re headed this this wind will be really good for us and I mean it it it we it’s kind of a necessity right now you know just kind of see where our Vibe is as a group and see how can we how we how we can you know flip the switch and you know kind of get a world what they need to see you know the world is all eyes on you and there have been so many critiques around the start of your season being unnecessarily difficult what do you say to that and how are you all dealing with especially these games where it’s it’s close it’s right there and how do you maintain the morale of everything for one this world going to say what they’re going to say whether we like it or not and I think it’s on us to keep the main thing the main thing um as a group and as a foundation and as an organization um to keep the main thing the main thing and I think that’s the win games and so I I I’ll say that you know we are going through an adjustment period um we playing some really great teams and I think defensively we have to be sound and I think that we have some ways to go in that area but I think this experience and getting it early is going to help us you know be out our best eventually and I think that any great team or any any sports fan know that you know in order to have a great team you know it’s going to take some time and you’ve been through several iterations of the Indiana Fever you are so tenured in this role that you’re playing as the super vet of the team and this year it’s new again so much outside noise that you’re having to deal with uh how has your evolved and what are you telling them in the locker room um I think for me like like you said I’m 10 years so so so for me I take on the road of being um the behind the scenes leader um you won’t catch me on a lot of everything and and that’s how I like to live my life but I think that the way I operating in locker room is that I let all 11 girls know that they bring something to the table and they’re valuable and I think that when when our our team can hear that and and utilize that to go and win games I think that’s the best thing about me because I don’t care about what the world says it’s not going to be the first going to be the last um and I think and I think for me it’s about staying focused and keeping the main thing for the sake of my team um and I’m going to do that I’m going continue to do that like I said I don’t have to be in the front Forefront of everything I think that’s the best thing for me to do but you are highly productive and it’s funny because this next generation of players I don’t know if you know this but a lot of them you’re their favorite player and it’s and it’s something about you really sticks with the Next Generation but over the years you’ve been able to develop your game what have you added on the offseason because we got to witness some of you know balling out an athletes unlimited but now you’re back in the WNBA what have you added to your game this year I think I think my confidence I think for one confidence isn’t everything um all right and I think that for me it’s like I I put myself in a position where I know and I value the work that I put in and now I got to believe it and I think my switch now is that there I don’t want I don’t want to be anything that I can’t do I want to be able to guard both sides of the ball I want to be able to defend I want to be able to go get a bucket when I can I want to be able to facilitate when I need to I want to be Limitless and I think added to my bag this year is that pedigree of Limitless and I’m I’m going do my best to keep showing at every game Limitless is such an interesting word because I feel like what you’re having to be expected to do is to show up and being pushed past your limits you’ve had loss great loss sudden you’ve had injury that was also sudden Kelsey how do you show up every day and remain the same Kelsey Mitchell that can produce on the court can be the rock of their team even if it is in the back and are you pouring into you uh I’m never I I’ve never been I’ve never had a best friend until I I got a therapist now and so my therapist and um the doctor my doctor um does a really good job of keeping me sane and keeping me in the right right framework to even be in this position um I also lean on the fact that my even though my dad lost his life I can lean on the fact that I got 28 great years with him and I feel him through me and I think that’s kind of my motivation cuz I love the hoop and he loved to coach it and or watch you know watch basketball that was his passion I think I could live through and that part is kind of easy if you never know what that kind of Life feel like until you sit in the front of a funeral service um and and you the one that got to kind of be the host and you know unfortunately for for me I’ve been been able to experience a lot of great loss and like you said um I could easily you know be one of those people that to let it deter me um to let it you know take my focus away but I do I’m a Heart of heart I feel like I’m prepared um I think I prepare myself to be in this moment um I think I prepare myself to lead my team in ways that you know a lot of not a lot of people can recognize or understand um but I will say this loss has has kind of put in perspective um my drive and where I’m focused at and unfortunate for the world ain’t nothing going to be able to stop me um because they I’ve if I’m being honest the worst has already happened to me so it’s on it’s on me to kind of like keep my team in in the same realm of like staying focused um not let’s say my situation but use that force and use that confidence as a group to kind of keep going but what is your plan what is your tangible plan as leader as somebody who’s in that locker room to beat LA tonight I mean obviously not a scouting report but what can we expect from the Indiana Fever tonight uh you you’re going to expect a shift in our in our defensive uh mindset um I I really believe that if we can defend some of the you know some of the stuff is uncontrollable you know J lyd sometimes is uncontrollable some stuff you can’t control um but I think that we can do a a a put shift our mindset to defending for full uh shot clock and then they to go and play and train transition I think that’s the expectation for us if we can defend that side of the ball and do well we going to get whatever we need on the offensive end I think that’s what that’s the expectation well Kelsey we wish you the best I know you have a game to prepare for go out ball out and we’ll be on the lookout always love for you I appreciate y’all you let’s go I love it I am so here for it that was [Music] awesome I don’t know why this song is making I’m right with you I’m right with you so we talked a lot about the Rooks so far this season on this show uh but obviously rightfully so right they deserve all the attention but they’ve also been bringing attention to a lot of other players that are on their squads so Rebecca when you think about players that we should also be talking about who comes to mind deer hamy is one and for the LA Sparks she’s been absolutely Stellar so far in this young season she’s averaging 22 a game she’s coming off the game against the mystics on Tuesday where she had 17 points and 18 boards so people might be coming to watch Cameron Brink and coming to watch Ria Jackson deer Ham’s raising her hand and say yeah yeah you’re going to be watching me she has been terrific so far in the early part of the Season yeah definitely been fun to watch obviously it’ll be fun to watch in the matchup tonight Ari Chambers who do you have your eye on hear me out hear me out who has had a better two weeks than DJ Carrington okay she went through a lot of adversity last year everybody was critical like why isn’t she being utilized on this team well she has the minutes this season and she is making the best of those minutes and has really been the Talk of the Town she gets that space knows how to like the T y’all but offensively and defensively she don’t shade on she has shine but particularly the defensive end she said hey you know what makes it work you know what that gets the engine going is my defense oh but what gets the engine going for real though is that fashion those tunnel fits she doesn’t have a stylist y’all these are straight from her closet she makes it work styl DJ Carrington says hey what do I want to wear today picks out the outfit from her closet and said yeah this will go where’s her closet right now UNC listen it’s only about what 45 minutes away from brist so where we are right now I kind I just want to drive up there all the time to watch her play I like I said I’m a big Connecticut sungir this season stacked team but d a carington baby skim deal okay skims deal offens and defense locking it down miss Mama do your thing Uncasville it’s a Vibe okay obviously we have a match up what time is it and about two minutes between the fever and the Sparks there’s a lot of things to talk about when it comes to this matchup but what are you most looking forward to Rebecca I’m just looking forward to seeing seeing how Indiana uh kind of handles things early on in this game are they taking care of the basketball are they getting to the defensive glass because both of those things have been issues for them and then the veteran back court for La has been so good we’re talking a lot about the young guys it’s been the veteran back court for La that’s been really good which player is Kurt Miller going to sick on Caitlyn Clark like every other team has and try to kind of take her out of it and how effective will they be are you I’m looking forward to good basketball I think it’s going to remain close I think the LA has a slight Edge this is their opener at crypto it’s all about the Vibes you know me I’m a Vibes girly but I do think that La has a little bit more season to them a little bit more season a little more veter veteran presence and cohesion as
