  [SPEAKER_00]: Welcome Fever fans to the central Indian sports report for special admission of the Fever Report with John Robertson and Michelle Garmin.
• 0:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: They are reacting through the Fever Season opening 107104 Loth to the
• 0:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: Dallas wings, and I lost $1.50, but John, despite the loss, so it sounds like he had a really good time.
• 0:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: First of all, I won $100 and $1.50 because I hit my first basket bet for Kelsey Mitchell.
• 0:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's kind of a tradition.
• 0:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: Kind of a tradition to every game.
• 0:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: We just picked somebody we didn't think of the first basket bet tin bucks on it.
• 0:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: So we hit that today.
• 0:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: But that $1.50 from you is a little bit sweeter.
• 0:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to lie, you know, that $1.50.
• 1:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: means a little bit.
• 1:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: I know.
• 1:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: No, so the first thing we want to talk about the atmosphere about the whole thing is that the Indianapolis was a party today when we were down there.
• 1:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: A lot of really cool events, fever put on a great event.
• 1:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: Not just a game was was exciting even though the outcome was what we wanted, but just a lot of really cool events around the area.
• 1:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I got, I got the
• 1:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: very cool.
• 1:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: Really cool.
• 1:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, well, we knew there was going to be a special guest.
• 1:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: We didn't know who was going to be, but when Tamika came down the steps, I was like, oh, that's that's sweet.
• 1:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's actually really sweet.
• 1:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then just a few months ago, John.
• 1:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: No, you really can't.
• 1:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: You knew it wasn't going to be a current fever player because they had to be getting locked in for the game, right?
• 1:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like you knew that.
• 1:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: But, uh,
• 1:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: There was lots of celebrities around the arena.
• 1:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: And here's the thing I got to tell you.
• 1:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: I have, you guys know I've been to a ton of arenas for a ton of basketball, a ton of professional basketball games.
• 2:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: Today's starting lineup introductions was the coolest starting lineup introductions I've ever seen in my entire life.
• 2:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was awesome.
• 2:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was seriously the coolest.
• 2:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: If you did, I don't know if they showed it on TV, but it was amazing.
• 2:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: what they did was they had uh... they had the fever players the uh... you know the section right behind the bench one of the the gate the lower bull gate where the plate people come into that the stairs they had the fever they had lights in the smoke machine set up there so like one player would they would not some in the player the smoke machine would go off like WWE style or whatever and the player would come out
• 2:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: there, and then it would be the opposite side of the core, same thing, lower bowl entrance, they had red lights and smoke machine.
• 2:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: So the players are coming through the crowd for the starting line up.
• 2:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was cool.
• 2:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like, I don't know, like, it actually thinks that's kind of stuff is interesting, but like, I, that got me hyped for the game.
• 3:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: That was, it felt like an event, and I've never seen anything like that in professional basketball.
• 3:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: Well, Alia bought the clips I saw were of Alia Boss and Sophie cutting him and they wrote, you could tell they really got into it.
• 3:15
  [SPEAKER_02]: It was pretty cool.
• 3:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh yeah, they were really planted up.
• 3:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: They really high-pinned it up.
• 3:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was cool.
• 3:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was really cool.
• 3:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: And for all the people saying that the fever aren't going to sell out games and that the crowd's not going to be loud and high.
• 3:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like, don't buy that story because it was hype in there.
• 3:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like, maybe a few rows in the upper corners that were sold.
• 3:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, because they had towels on all the,
• 3:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: all the seats to and everything so there you could see that the a few of the upper corners weren't totally sold out but like it was hype in there today.
• 3:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was absolutely hype and and if when it was really cool like in the game when like needed a little bit of energy I always compare this to like Peyton Manning trained the fans and Indian apples for years to be quiet when when the culture on the field but like the loud on third down I like loud when the other team's got it.
• 4:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like Elon and Sophie and Lexi and a couple of people were doing like get hype, get loud, stuff to the crowd when they needed the moment and like proud reacted.
• 4:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: So they're getting trained.
• 4:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: The crowd's getting trained.
• 4:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was just, it was a hype event.
• 4:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: I wish we could have got the win.
• 4:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure we're gonna talk about like some of the pros and cons here of the game or the pluses and minuses, but as far as atmosphere and event, it's great.
• 4:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like you guys really, if you don't get a chance to get a chance to go to one, you should go.
• 4:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's, if,
• 4:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: If I had to rank at atmosphere and game bridge, I would say fever regular season game is just slightly below.
• 4:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I mean, just slightly below when paces play off, when we were making the deep run.
• 4:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: Now, now I'm saying, paces finals is another step up.
• 4:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like the NBA finals was a little wide about regular paces playoffs.
• 4:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: It is a lot of fever regular season game feels like.
• 4:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: You don't have to believe me, but if you go experience it for yourself, I think you'll see I'm not lying to you.
• 5:05
  [SPEAKER_03]: That's a statement.
• 5:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, and I think it's got to play into our favor, on is the team continues to come through, right?
• 5:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like, I do think Indiana fans are fickle, so if you're not performing with fans, give up on you relatively quickly, but I think they'll be fine.
• 5:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: John it looked great on it looked great as I was watching it, you could tell it was a huge crowd and they were noisy.
• 5:37
  [SPEAKER_02]: It was great.
• 5:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, especially when I'm used to watching years ago, you know, fever were lucky to get three to six thousand people in the net.
• 5:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: They always had the the balcony here.
• 5:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: You guys set up.
• 5:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: They always had that closed off.
• 5:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, in the front row of the balcony, that's where we got our season tickets because honestly, I think it's the best value in sports, right?
• 5:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like, yes, you're in the balcony, but like, if nobody in front of you and you've got the little ledge for your drinks, it's in the views really good.
• 6:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: I actually like it really well.
• 6:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: You sat everywhere in game bridge at some point for the money.
• 6:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think it's probably the bit because you can get in and out easy to.
• 6:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: But I will say that like, I do think the fever crowds need to
• 6:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: What's the word I'm looking for?
• 6:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like they will get really high, but they just don't always like we're losing or we're behind.
• 6:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: They don't know to bring it on their own right away.
• 6:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: They need to somebody to signal get high, they need something fancy to happen to them to get high.
• 6:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: But as soon as it happens, they get loud.
• 6:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: Alright guys, a really good to see Odyssey Sims land in a spot and be successful, but not at the first detriment.
• 6:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: Speaking of the crowd of energy ago, everybody was very welcoming to Odyssey Sims.
• 6:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: I was glad to hear that, you know, if I was happy when they announced her, they weren't so happy when she got her five fouls.
• 6:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, she had a couple of pretty big fouls.
• 7:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: wings in the lead, but she had a good game 20 points.
• 7:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, a lot of 20 points performances did adding.
• 7:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: There were six, actually, if you count both teams.
• 7:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: Page started off slow, like everybody's going to want to talk about.
• 7:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: Page Becker is not like she only had eight, I think, in the first half, but a second half, she kind of started to go well.
• 7:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, they, I think we really got to talk about is where the fever kind of fell, kind of fell apart today, like they made some really good runs, and they had a really good shot to get in the lead at some points, but like the fast break defense was terrible.
• 7:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: Last break defense was just horrible.
• 7:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like, it was like, there was, I can't remember how many times, but there were several when like just a guaranteed bucket for Dallas, just one long
• 8:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: It was part of that John, I think, is I know she scored well a lot of points after missing last year, but for the most part, today, Caitlin Clark was a liability on defense.
• 8:16
  [SPEAKER_02]: She never sprinted back on defense.
• 8:18
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if it's because of that her growing was bothering her a little bit.
• 8:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: I know she kept going out.
• 8:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think they were stretching it or treating it out in the hallway on a table, but don't
• 8:33
  [SPEAKER_02]: She has to, for the fever to be successful, it has to get better on the defensive end.
• 8:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: And then there were defensive lapses by Kelsey Mitchell a little bit today.
• 8:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: I know with Stephanie White as the coach, that stuff will get ironed out.
• 8:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'll tell you what, you know who impressed me, who I thought, I know Kelsey scored 30, but I thought the best player on the floor for the fever today was Alia Boston on both
• 9:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: She looked really good.
• 9:05
  [SPEAKER_02]: She ran the floor really well.
• 9:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it was impressive.
• 9:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: She had some really good stuff going on.
• 9:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: She had some really good assists today.
• 9:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think if I anything impressed me about Alia more than her 20 point three points, just some of her passing was really, really solid today, which is not what I usually expect out of her.
• 9:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I think that's why it stood out.
• 9:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: But I think last year after Caitlyn and all those point guards got injured, I think her passing improved because there were a lot of teams, there were a lot of games later and as the year went on in the process, she led the team in assist.
• 9:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I think that she had, she was the experience with him.
• 9:47
  [SPEAKER_02]: So I think her passing really improved down the stretch last year.
• 9:50
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I thought, like you, I thought it was really impressive today.
• 9:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: Speaking of passing, there was definitely a lot of really flashy passes, and when they worked, they looked great, right?
• 10:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like, it was like magic Johnson level of, you know, behind the back passes and little dump-offs.
• 10:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: But there were several, and Caitlyn at some, like, thread the needle passes for a cyst that worked out really well.
• 10:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: There was a lot of really risky passes.
• 10:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think we needed to take that ended up in turnovers.
• 10:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I don't, I don't think it was just Caitlyn, like, sure that that's going to be the
• 10:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: There were several people that they went for a pass that was maybe questionable would have been a high light if it worked, but definitely Into up on a fast break, which we already talked about the fast break was the the downside
• 10:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: The transition defense.
• 10:44
  [SPEAKER_02]: The transition offense wasn't always bad.
• 10:47
  [SPEAKER_02]: It was at times.
• 10:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'll be glad when Alia and Lexi those guys aren't limited in minutes as they get fully healthy because there are stretches we need them and what was what was wrong with buildings because I missed when they announced that she was out
• 11:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's paying to last week in the against the Nigerian national team and she hasn't left all week I think the big takeaway today though, and this is what my daughter and I talked about pretty much the whole way home before she fell asleep was the fever.
• 11:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't
• 11:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: They're shooting percent from three was I want to say like 30% total, maybe high 20s and Dallas is shooting percent from three was over 50 so that's a huge disparity in three percentage which you can argue that it's the defense that allowed it or they just shot better whatever you want to say is fine, but like a fever to be within three points with that big of a three point shooting percentage difference I I truly think that actually.
• 11:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: votes well for the fever in the future because they're not going to shoot that bad all the time.
• 12:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: And the end Alice isn't going to be on fire all the time.
• 12:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: A week a was just unbelievable for three point.
• 12:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: She was 40 to you.
• 12:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, she's helping.
• 12:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: She can really do.
• 12:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh yeah, as a gambler who bets on the WNBA because I usually can find some good lines like a recase a tough one because she'll either be on fire or make nothing so like it's bit me a couple of times thinking oh she'll be good for a couple or three or whatever and then she'll just have an offer night.
• 12:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: but I like her.
• 12:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think she's good.
• 12:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm glad.
• 12:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: I was happy to see Odyssey have a good game.
• 12:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: I really do like her.
• 12:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm glad you're laying somewhere this year after what she helped the fever accomplish last year.
• 12:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: Shifting gears.
• 12:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: Let's talk about the first technical of the year.
• 12:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: Who's the first tech go to?
• 12:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: Lexi Hall gets the first tech of the year for the Indiana fever.
• 13:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, man, I, how did you guys feel about that one, Rd?
• 13:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if she uttered something, if she said a word but still, that's kind of soft, early on, just, it was like you were looking at it, but she didn't agree and she was walking away from you, so just let it go.
• 13:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: I, you guys know I'm the biggest Lexi hole fan on the, at least in Indiana.
• 13:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: We'll go with that.
• 13:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm the biggest Lexi hole fan in our state.
• 13:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think that she, the foul call on her in the first place was correct.
• 13:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: As I watched it happen, I told Connor, I said that I think she, even like slow motion, if it looked like it wasn't, because I didn't have slow mode replay, obviously.
• 13:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: It was a foul.
• 13:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: In real time, it looked like a foul.
• 13:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: So then when she went over there to argue, that's not very Lexi-like.
• 13:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then she just kept going, I'm like, she's going to get tecked up.
• 13:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then as soon as it happened, then I was like, yep, there it is.
• 13:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: First, technically, her goes to Lexi-Hall.
• 14:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: You know, I get it.
• 14:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: She's battled injuries.
• 14:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: She's got beat up.
• 14:05
  [SPEAKER_02]: She didn't like she didn't like the way was it shepherd or Clark.
• 14:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: And they got called for the offensive fouls.
• 14:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: That was a little bomb, but she did it.
• 14:15
  [SPEAKER_02]: She got that.
• 14:15
  [SPEAKER_02]: It was just it was a little bump play.
• 14:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: No, I said it was a retaliatory kind of bump, but it was going to get called and it didn't.
• 14:25
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you talked about Caitlyn Clark's five turnovers.
• 14:27
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's because she had three offensive files going her.
• 14:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: So actually, ball handling passing why she really only had two turnovers because offensive files count as turnovers.
• 14:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: There was a couple of those that I wasn't.
• 14:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: So like the first one where she, I don't forget who it was she shoved.
• 14:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's hard for me to remember now that we're similar to us.
• 14:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: But like the very first file she got, the offensive file, like she really did just shove the girl.
• 14:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: And that one, I was like, we can't be playing like that.
• 14:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: But then a couple of them, I was like, Matt's a little ticky-taggy.
• 14:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but you know what?
• 15:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think I thought one of them was two of them.
• 15:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: One was totally legit, the other one I could see at the, and then the third one I didn't, I didn't really agree with.
• 15:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: When they said they were gonna emphasize some of this calls this year, you know, and take away some of that, I thought, can Clark can be hurt by that because she got away with that kind of play, the push-offs and everything's so much in college.
• 15:24
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's ingrained in her.
• 15:25
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's, I mean, it's just part of her game.
• 15:27
  [SPEAKER_02]: So it's ingrained in her.
• 15:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: herself that she can't shove all, you know.
• 15:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: She's no SGA.
• 15:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: Let's be real.
• 15:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: She's not like she's sighted Gogo's Alexander out there.
• 15:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
• 15:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, no.
• 15:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: Not.
• 15:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: The fouls that frustrated me, and I'm one of those people that I'm usually like the rest probably no more than what me and they probably know what they're doing.
• 15:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: But there was a couple of landing space fouls that they called one specifically on Kelsey Mitchell that I didn't like.
• 15:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: I was like, I think that's
• 15:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: border line if it's, but we'll see if it's consistent throughout the season.
• 16:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: I guess if it's consistent throughout the season, it's, it's just is what it is.
• 16:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: Those kind of got to me a little.
• 16:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: I thought overall.
• 16:15
  [SPEAKER_02]: I thought the fever had some positives and then but I still it wasn't really it's still going to be a little bit of learning but I still like our depth and I do think when if buildings can come back and because she just gives us a different dimension inside.
• 16:36
  [SPEAKER_02]: Heinz Allen is good, but she's not the running up and down the floor.
• 16:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: Timson had a nice day today, but again, the same thing.
• 16:45
  [SPEAKER_02]: She's not defensively, she's not good at.
• 16:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: calling, you know, speaking verbalizing rotations, helping players on the defense of rotations.
• 16:54
  [SPEAKER_02]: So that's where you miss that experience.
• 16:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: I did like the growth I saw at a Timson.
• 17:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: Timson had a pretty solid game today.
• 17:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: I actually was pretty impressed with how she played overall.
• 17:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: I agree with you, she maybe needs to work on a couple of things here and there, but like overall just the growth from year one to year two.
• 17:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 17:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: Timson looked solid like she's got a future if she keeps it up.
• 17:19
  [SPEAKER_02]: As we get into, uh, get into the season a little bit more to see how everybody is.
• 17:25
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm hoping that this is not going to be a recurring issue or tightness or anything with Caitlin with her with the growing area in the, in the, in the, in the life.
• 17:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: I heard Stephanie White in the post of, uh, presser, say that it was back tightness.
• 17:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
• 17:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: And she was wearing a bat.
• 17:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: She was wearing one of those back belts on the bench.
• 17:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I think that's more what it was.
• 17:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: But you know, she was wearing that back belt on the bench, even in the preseason.
• 17:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: She was stretching her back during the entire press conference after the game and she commented it on it as well.
• 17:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: She said it was her back.
• 17:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: It Stephanie White actually said if I thought it was hindering her health, I wouldn't be playing her.
• 18:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: So she's not concerned about it.
• 18:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm a little concerned about it to be honest with you.
• 18:14
  [SPEAKER_02]: Now, someone who has back issues, I do.
• 18:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: The only thing what concerns me about it is when you're back, it's tying up.
• 18:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: You can also not get lifting your legs and I thought she forced up some shots.
• 18:27
  [SPEAKER_02]: She shouldn't have forced up like she didn't with the back tighten as she wasn't getting the lift on her legs.
• 18:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: Again, this is going to be like the hot take moment, but I love Caitlyn's logo 3s when they when they work in and I like all that, like it's exciting, I get that it's exciting basketball, but I felt like she kind of forced it too much money.
• 18:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: There was a couple of times where she tried to make the hero 3 that I was like, I don't know that that was the time for it.
• 18:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: There are times where I think that yes, it can electrify the crowd, it can electrify the team, but it can get you some momentum and I'm all for it.
• 19:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: there a little bit too much today and then there was one where she drove in and tried to force up, we'll say like a tin footer from the baseline.
• 19:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't like that one either.
• 19:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: So shot selection today was not the best I've seen from her.
• 19:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to see him be like Caitlin sucks or Caitlin's.
• 19:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: Terrible or any of that stuff like I just today I thought she was pressing a little bit trying to get she's competitive That's the thing.
• 19:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: She's competitive and she if she thinks that that whole that game where she had three back to back ones against New York Like she did it because she wanted to get the momentum back and she did I mean last season at the beginning last season.
• 19:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: There was one where she did three low-go-threes Back to back to back and like the place erupted so like yes, there's a value to it, but I think She's gonna have to get away from going for that Too early or at the wrong time
• 19:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, especially for back as tight because you have to understand your body's limitations and if you can't, if it's tight, you can't get lift on your shots and don't chances are you're not going to make those logo threes.
• 20:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, even the 10 footer it was just short like she didn't get enough lift in her legs.
• 20:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, weren't there.
• 20:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I think she's going to be fine.
• 20:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm really not stressing it like it's game one of the season.
• 20:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you'd love to start one and oh and yeah, you'd love to be Dallas, but you know
• 20:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: the other thing is Lexi's first game right and you can I know she's coming off the bench and she's not a starter so you can ask how much of a difference does your non starter make but I think Lexi not having any reps during the preseason probably played a factor somewhat too.
• 20:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: As you know I expected a fever blowout by my bet but that having been said I think I saw more encouragement than discouragement.
• 20:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: I absolutely agree.
• 20:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think they like it was the best way I can describe it is the fever would go on runs and get right to tie it up, but they could never just pull ahead.
• 20:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: They could never get past that hill.
• 21:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: They would get there and tie it multiple times.
• 21:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: They may have gotten like a one point lead at one point in the fourth, but every time they would Dallas would go on a run, or some sort of momentum shift would happen.
• 21:15
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, a Riki was great from three point range for them.
• 21:18
  [SPEAKER_02]: She had some huge wins out of Cisms, had a great game, and I thought Paige Becker's had a quiet.
• 21:25
  [SPEAKER_02]: really nice game for the wings and I was actually glad because there were about three possessions in a row they'd got up like seven or eight against the fever and they would have like three possessions where they didn't get the ball into Becca's hands and the fever took advantage of it and I was like glad I'm glad quit keep ignoring page after they don't get the ball in her hands because seemed like she especially there in the second half she was just clutch she hit a lot of clutch shots for them
• 21:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's a long season.
• 21:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's early.
• 21:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think they're going to get together and be fine.
• 21:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: I agree with Greg.
• 21:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: There's a lot more positive than negative.
• 22:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: There's no reason to crash out at this point.
• 22:06
  [SPEAKER_03]: It'll be fine.
• 22:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: Another great fever report will be doing that after most games.
• 22:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: This year probably not Wednesday night because of
• 22:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: the game being in Los Angeles late late late at night, I think we have, I think we plan on having Michelle on Thursday's 10 minute report to talk about hopefully the fever's first win of the season in LA and then we'll return on Friday after the home game against Washington.
• 22:43
