Fever Coach Getting Blasted For Recent Caitlin Clark Treatment.Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever are getting set to take on Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky on Sunday. The Fever have won two of their last three games and currently sit at fifth in the WNBA Eastern Conference standings with a 4-10 record.

Over the last two matches, Clark's shot attempts have drastically decreased from her first 12 games. She hasn't scored over 10 points in either game. Her co-star, Aliyah Boston, has been carrying the load during this timeframe. Boston had a career night against the Atlanta Dream on Thursday, recording 27 points and 13 rebounds.On Saturday, Christie Sides, the Fever's coach, sat down with the media during the team's practice. She spoke about getting more paint touches instead of shooting threes. Paint touches was our goal. Get the paint touches, whether that was feeding the paint or getting the ball into Aliyah or Nalyssa's (Smith) hands. If we get those high percentage shots, it just helps everything on the outside," Sides said. (via Indiana Fever)

WNBA fans are expressing dissatisfaction with the way Sides has been treating Clark recently. They feel that she is not getting as many shot opportunities as they believe she deserves. After Sides' latest comments on the matter, these fans took to social media to blast her for her recent treatment of Clark."i understand the answer to basketball is not always 3s but what is her beef with them. you have two solid backcourt shooters and half of your team is focused on one thing and half is focused on the other. i am begging this team to actually use their good solid pieces and not making their backcourt just in the background"if paint touches were always the goal then why even draft a player like caitlin? they really expect the best collegiate basketball player to just pass and accept being a role player. her play style is literally known for her deep 3s, if they keep putting her at 2 just trade her because it will eventually seem like they’re just keeping her for the money she brings and to say they have the best pick."She doesn't know how to coach CC so she's simply asking her to score in whatever way possible. She knows W's are the only thing keeping her in her current position, which is pretty sad considering she only has 4 lmao.""I join you in your plea. I’m so freaked out by what’s going on right now. I can’t watch CC stand in the corner or be waved off anymore."Sadly, I don't we will ever see her this happy or feel that kind of magic again at this rate. Christie Sides will ruin her well before that happens"this is the biggest issue I have with the fever right now. It’s not a cohesive team in the slightest. Sides doesn’t seem to want to play to her players strengths.Boston has been playing very well with the way Sides has been game-planning recently, but the fans want to see more from the Fever's best player, Clark. Right now, some are clearly unhappy with the coach.

Hopefully, things will change on Sunday when Clark and Reese face off once again at 12:00 PM EST. The winner will take sole possession of fourth in the Eastern Conference.
