Caitlin Clark is heartbroken after Christie Sides – the coach she always trusted the most – played a ‘dirty tr!ck’ on her (video)

Indiana Fever head coach Christie Sides was dealt an an honor and a curse when the organization selected Caitlin Clark with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NBA draft

The Fever have played two games this season, both resulting in blowout losses. They recently lost to the New York Liberty 102-66 in their home opener.

Sides has been under fire for her inability to coach Clark, with many fans calling for her firing. The Fever have struggled mightily, but Sides views these problems to be mainly on the defensive side of the ball.

She had one message to the team following their massive loss to the Liberty.

“Don’t let them keep punking us. Give it back,” said Sides, per Scott Agness on X.

Indiana seems to be struggling on every level of the floor. While Sides may want the team to have a defensive identity, she may need to change her view, given the offensive weapons on the Fever.

 

Fever Coach Christie Sides Visibly Frustrated After Another Blowout Loss - The Spun

Indiana Fever head coach Christie Sides was clearly annoyed after a 36-point loss to the New York Liberty on Thursday night.

Sides kicked off her postgame press conference by calling the Fever’s performance “unacceptable,” especially since it was their home opener.

“We’ve got to do a better job. We’ve got to make the fans proud with what we put on the floor,” Sides said. “And I will take it. We didn’t do that tonight. And that’s unacceptable.”

A reporter then mentioned how Indiana went through a similar rough patch last season. When asked how the Fever can get better, Sides had an interesting response.

“I think some experience, I think we changed the lineup a little bit,” Sides said. “We decided to go to work on the defensive end of the floor in practice. That’s kind of the issue – we don’t have any practice time to go fix this right now.”

Sides needed a few seconds to collect the rest of her thoughts before saying, “We just have to get better.”

There’s far more pressure on Sides this season because of the arrival of Caitlin Clark. Fans expect the Fever to bring their A-game each night.
