Transcript
- 0:03[SPEAKER_01]: You are listening to the favorite report with John Robertson and Michelle Garmin every week on the Central Indiana Sports Report.
- 0:11[SPEAKER_01]: And John got a little spicy on this week's episode.
- 0:14[SPEAKER_01]: So this is a little bit of adult language and a little bit of adult content.
- 0:17[SPEAKER_01]: So please be free one.
- 0:23[SPEAKER_01]: Welcome, fever fans of the Central Indian sports report for this week's fever report with John Robertson and Michelle Garmin started off as a really good week.
- 0:31[SPEAKER_01]: The end of the week, not so good, back to back losses to Atlanta, John.
- 0:37[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we talked last time on the fever report about
- 0:40[SPEAKER_02]: the streak and how well we thought it could go.
- 0:43[SPEAKER_02]: We know Atlanta is going to be a tough matchup.
- 0:45[SPEAKER_02]: I think that this is a playoff series we're going to see again.
- 0:49[SPEAKER_02]: I would be willing to bet that we will see the series later in the season.
- 0:55[SPEAKER_02]: But both games just went really blah.
- 1:00[SPEAKER_02]: I don't really know how to say it.
- 1:01[SPEAKER_02]: There were flashes of greatness and offense from the team.
- 1:04[SPEAKER_02]: You saw
- 1:05[SPEAKER_02]: Caitlyn started off super great tonight.
- 1:08[SPEAKER_02]: So if he was playing really well the other night, Oliya had moments where she was good.
- 1:13[SPEAKER_02]: Kelsey break in some ankles, spectacular, but just the way the game's ended, the outcome was bad.
- 1:22[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm just, I'm gonna say the the the the WMBA and the
- 1:32[SPEAKER_02]: as much as I don't like talking about it.
- 1:34[SPEAKER_02]: I don't like talking about officiating.
- 1:36[SPEAKER_02]: I don't like bringing it up, but I do think it had a big impact on both of these games.
- 1:42[SPEAKER_01]: Our philosophy on this podcast is that just don't talk about officiating unless it's becomes a big story, but John, today I give you a pass.
- 1:50[SPEAKER_01]: Go ahead.
- 1:53[SPEAKER_02]: that feels like, I don't know what they feel like, the game's not being officiated equally on both sides of the court.
- 2:01[SPEAKER_02]: It's absolutely not.
- 2:03[SPEAKER_02]: They start out the game with these tiki-tack fouls.
- 2:05[SPEAKER_02]: Alia's getting called for fouls that are barely anything.
- 2:10[SPEAKER_02]: They are calling, like Jordan Cannon a tripped over her self, at least three times in the last two games, in an ended up
- 2:22[SPEAKER_02]: Now, first of all, the fact that the whistle got blown on I'm absolutely phantom, non-call foul, is atrocious.
- 2:30[SPEAKER_02]: But Stephanie White's decision of wind to challenge and wind not the challenge is equally atrocious.
- 2:36[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm getting a little tired of that.
- 2:39[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not even a Stephanie White eighter.
- 2:41[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not one of the ones who's calling for her job or saying she's garbage.
- 2:45[SPEAKER_02]: But she's got to figure out wind to challenge a call
- 2:50[SPEAKER_02]: or she challenged the Sophie Fowl when one, you knew regardless of what actually happened the tape looked like a felt like Sophie pulled somebody to the ground.
- 3:00[SPEAKER_02]: So that's not gonna get overturned.
- 3:02[SPEAKER_02]: And two, even if they win the challenge, the outcome is irrelevant.
- 3:05[SPEAKER_02]: So what's the point in challenging that one instead of when Alia gets her fifth foul that was absolutely not a foul, right?
- 3:13[SPEAKER_02]: So she's got to figure that out.
- 3:15[SPEAKER_02]: And the calls are just, is bad.
- 3:19[SPEAKER_02]: And you can see that it affects the players on the fever.
- 3:23[SPEAKER_02]: They start out playing pretty well, but then once they've got to get over it, I'm not gonna sit here and sit because they excuse.
- 3:30[SPEAKER_02]: They've got to figure out a deal with that, but it's getting in their heads and it's messing up their games.
- 3:36[SPEAKER_02]: I'm done.
- 3:38[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I will say this, I won't say all the challenges are exactly on Stephanie White because every head coach has a person on their staff that is supposed to help them with that because if someone who has coached, you have a lot to see on the game.
- 3:56[SPEAKER_00]: You have when you trust in the system with something, you want them to and I've seen assistant coaches stand up or tall, you kind of yell out their coach
- 4:09[SPEAKER_00]: I'll see a lot of that on the fever.
- 4:10[SPEAKER_00]: So I think it's Stephanie has fault in that.
- 4:14[SPEAKER_00]: And I also think whoever she's assigned to look at those replays and to help one side window challenge is also falling, failing a little bit.
- 4:23[SPEAKER_01]: Fishing fun, but never is they got to figure it out because they're.
- 4:27[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, you are right.
- 4:28[SPEAKER_00]: Tonight, Boston's fifth ballot was
- 4:32[SPEAKER_00]: was to get that, but tonight the problem was, I'm gonna, I'll flat out say it.
- 4:37[SPEAKER_00]: Kelsey Mitchell had some good offensive place, but I think Kelsey Mitchell, I'd give her a seam minus.
- 4:43[SPEAKER_00]: She was not existin on defense tonight, and she had rebounds, she had rebounds tonight.
- 4:50[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but she had her glimly, she's dribbling too much.
- 4:55[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, she had a couple of bad turnovers later, but she's, she, her defense was terrible tonight and her defensive communication was terrible tonight.
- 5:03[SPEAKER_00]: If that, I'll be honest, the only player I thought the play really stand out defense was a Raven Johnson.
- 5:10[SPEAKER_00]: I wish we could have had three of her combat the three guards for the dreams.
- 5:16[SPEAKER_00]: but to be able to stay in front of them and just to keep them in front.
- 5:20[SPEAKER_00]: They're getting frustrated.
- 5:21[SPEAKER_00]: I will say this, and I know they're going to say, oh, she's a Caitlyn hater, it's not a heater, but Carmen can be a bitch.
- 5:28[SPEAKER_00]: And Caitlyn is now seeing why so many people were upset when she went to the line for Phantom Pows when she was in college or last two years of high, which on and she did, trust me, that like, even some of them that she's getting called on that are borderline, she was a beneficiary of them.
- 5:46[SPEAKER_00]: in her college career that.
- 5:49[SPEAKER_02]: So I do feel for her because I don't care about college.
- 5:51[SPEAKER_00]: I know you don't want to be here.
- 5:53[SPEAKER_00]: She's got to put that aside.
- 5:55[SPEAKER_00]: They're not going to get him.
- 5:58[SPEAKER_00]: mentally.
- 5:58[SPEAKER_00]: She has got to understand that he's not in any more.
- 6:02[SPEAKER_01]: My one complaint is she just winds so much with the officiating.
- 6:07[SPEAKER_01]: Just play basketball.
- 6:09[SPEAKER_02]: It doesn't matter what that all just play.
- 6:12[SPEAKER_02]: I give you that bill that's like they're playing.
- 6:14[SPEAKER_02]: There's there's two different set of rules for either end of the court.
- 6:18[SPEAKER_00]: All right, and there were two sets of rules for either another court when she was starring in college.
- 6:22[SPEAKER_02]: That's what I'm talking about college.
- 6:25[SPEAKER_02]: I don't give a shit about college.
- 6:27[SPEAKER_02]: There's a lot of that anymore.
- 6:29[SPEAKER_00]: No, I know.
- 6:31[SPEAKER_00]: I'm saying because she attitude why she was used to getting those.
- 6:35[SPEAKER_00]: Now she's frustrating and I think it's affecting her play.
- 6:39[SPEAKER_02]: I think that the WMBA, if they want to have a successful product, needs to have an equally officiated game regardless of what teams it is.
- 6:47[SPEAKER_02]: I don't give a shit if it's Caitlyn Clark or... Oh, I'll agree with you.
- 6:51[SPEAKER_00]: Do whatever.
- 6:52[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, but what I'm saying is... Yeah, officiating for a while.
- 6:56[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, so if I'm playing in that and I get hit by two people in the face and it's nothing and then I go down to the other end and stand there and then in the point guard runs into me and falls over and they call a foul on me I'm going to get pissed off to I don't give two shits what happened five years ago that's not a sport that's not a game that's just drama for the sake of drama
- 7:19[SPEAKER_02]: Fort is an equal set of rules that is applied equally to all teams, and yeah, you're going to have some calls that go out players to get calls one way or another, but when it's so blatantly ridiculous, it's not even fun to watch.
- 7:33[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I want to talk to about Angel Reese in this, um, she's going to have to be suspended here soon because these, you talk about some of my mac and players in the face and elbow and I'm not saying you'll Reese.
- 7:44[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, yeah, she elbowed Sophie in the face and they said nothing.
- 7:48[SPEAKER_02]: No big deal.
- 7:49[SPEAKER_02]: She elbowed Alia Boston in the face.
- 7:52[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, until they contact.
- 7:54[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and then when well, she did don't just then they find out what I was watching at that point.
- 7:59[SPEAKER_02]: I turned the game off
- 8:01[SPEAKER_02]: But I'm just saying, let's see, they're in the face multiple.
- 8:03[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's right.
- 8:05[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I never, you guys know, I am like the biggest fan of all this.
- 8:10[SPEAKER_02]: I have the B&B package.
- 8:12[SPEAKER_02]: I watch games besides his fever games because I didn't, it entertains me, but like, they're losing me, if it goes like this, there's this season.
- 8:22[SPEAKER_02]: I probably won't re-up on my season tickets because it's, it's a lot of money to go
- 8:30[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't know.
- 8:32[SPEAKER_02]: I don't understand.
- 8:34[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not asking for like Jordan whistle or SGA whistle for Caitlin.
- 8:38[SPEAKER_02]: That's not what I'm asking for.
- 8:40[SPEAKER_02]: But you've got to at least be even where you're gonna start losing viewership and it's not even just Caitlin.
- 8:47[SPEAKER_02]: It's like the whole fever squad get like Alia gets some of the worst whistle I've ever seen in my life.
- 8:53[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yes, she did too.
- 8:54[SPEAKER_00]: She did as a rookie just like Caitlin did.
- 8:56[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, oh.
- 8:58[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what it is.
- 8:59[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what the WMBA is trying to do.
- 9:02[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what they're trying to market, but the product is not great right now.
- 9:08[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like it's not basketball.
- 9:09[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like basketball is not like a second to something else.
- 9:12[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't even know what the something else is.
- 9:16[SPEAKER_02]: Make it to something like your agenda.
- 9:18[SPEAKER_02]: It really does.
- 9:20[SPEAKER_02]: Now, but like before we get too far into this, I'm very much want to say I don't think the fever played perfectly the last two games.
- 9:27[SPEAKER_02]: They had a lot of mistakes and a lot of issues they need to fix and that's fine.
- 9:31[SPEAKER_02]: I can accept that.
- 9:32[SPEAKER_02]: I won't be happy about a loss or two losses, but just the, even the commentary on ABC today seemed so anti-fevered.
- 9:44[SPEAKER_02]: Did you guys get that feeling when you were watching the game?
- 9:47[SPEAKER_00]: I'll be honest with you, John.
- 9:48[SPEAKER_00]: I won't have the volume up very much because Ryan Russo and Rebekah Lobo are not two of my favorites.
- 9:55[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't always listen to them when the game's on.
- 9:58[SPEAKER_02]: I was just so tired of the it was so felt so biased.
- 10:04[SPEAKER_02]: And I mean, I, I don't even mind a little, but it got to the point where it felt just I was ready to mute it and turn it off.
- 10:12[SPEAKER_02]: I, anyway,
- 10:14[SPEAKER_02]: So fear or poor, they're still, they've got a winning record still.
- 10:18[SPEAKER_02]: They're not like they're below 500.
- 10:21[SPEAKER_02]: There's definitely some stuff to fix.
- 10:24[SPEAKER_02]: They've got to fix turnovers.
- 10:27[SPEAKER_02]: Turnovers and free throws.
- 10:28[SPEAKER_02]: Good Lord.
- 10:29[SPEAKER_02]: How do you have somebody who shoots 30 foot, threes missing free throws at a ridiculous rate?
- 10:39[SPEAKER_02]: I love Caitlin as much as anybody, but I swear, she should not be missing free throws.
- 10:44[SPEAKER_02]: as much as she is the last few games.
- 10:46[SPEAKER_02]: And then isn't just Caitlin, I forget what the free throw percentage was on what was the Thursday night.
- 10:53[SPEAKER_02]: The free throw percentage honestly, it was like 50% for the whole team.
- 10:57[SPEAKER_02]: I should have taken a picture of a staff.
- 10:59[SPEAKER_02]: But it was not good.
- 11:04[SPEAKER_00]: No, that's the difference.
- 11:04[SPEAKER_00]: They make free throws in Thursday night.
- 11:07[SPEAKER_00]: They win that game.
- 11:09[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, no, they absolutely do.
- 11:11[SPEAKER_02]: And that they don't throw the ball away.
- 11:13[SPEAKER_02]: a billion times.
- 11:15[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 11:16[SPEAKER_02]: Turnovers and free throws.
- 11:17[SPEAKER_02]: That's the story.
- 11:19[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not going to crash out on on the team.
- 11:22[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not going to crash out on the team.
- 11:23[SPEAKER_02]: They're going through a slump a little bit.
- 11:25[SPEAKER_02]: The offense looks so good though.
- 11:27[SPEAKER_02]: They were shooting at a ridiculous pace for so long, but every time they started to get momentum, here comes a whistle for some, for some idiocy.
- 11:36[SPEAKER_00]: A miss shot.
- 11:37[SPEAKER_00]: Like a bad miss shot that led to a fast break on the other end,
- 11:41[SPEAKER_00]: got the dream going tonight.
- 11:42[SPEAKER_00]: That happened a couple of times where Miss lay up and they get a transition basket.
- 11:46[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think tonight was just not enough continuity and consistency.
- 11:51[SPEAKER_02]: On I just don't think today was basketball.
- 11:54[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what it was.
- 11:55[SPEAKER_02]: It was an exhibition in annoying.
- 11:58[SPEAKER_02]: But I truly don't feel like I watched a professional basketball game.
- 12:03[SPEAKER_02]: I watched some
- 12:08[SPEAKER_01]: All right, well then let's move on and talk about what's coming up.
- 12:12[SPEAKER_01]: I saw our friend Sam Frick on Twitter Today said the dream are a contender the fever are not that's not what I'm seeing.
- 12:21[SPEAKER_01]: I'm seeing the fever Trying to figure themselves out and they just will and the next two games should help him kind of get on a little bit of a roll Phoenix comes the town on Monday and Wednesday Johnny going to both
- 12:35[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, yes, I'll be at both.
- 12:37[SPEAKER_02]: I'm expecting a win both times.
- 12:40[SPEAKER_02]: I expect to want a boner to get boot both times.
- 12:43[SPEAKER_02]: But the fever do you have, they need to maximize these wins that they should be getting.
- 12:48[SPEAKER_02]: I would love to see just a no question, no doubt win from them.
- 12:52[SPEAKER_02]: Like it needs back to back.
- 12:55[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, we'd like to see back to back.
- 12:57[SPEAKER_01]: Put your foot on the throat wins because we just haven't seen many of those.
- 13:01[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, we had one against Atlanta when they were here.
- 13:04[SPEAKER_02]: last time on June 4th, so we can clearly beat this in the corner.
- 13:09[SPEAKER_02]: We could clearly beat the dream, but they need to make sure they're winning the games that they're supposed to win.
- 13:16[SPEAKER_02]: We've talked about how they play down to their competition sometimes, and I don't want to see that.
- 13:20[SPEAKER_02]: I want to just see like pedal to the floor, stop on Phoenix.
- 13:29[SPEAKER_00]: I'd like to see that too, right?
- 13:31[SPEAKER_00]: even when they've beaten a couple of the rats they had and even when they beat the dream so bad back on June 4th and that's okay because you shouldn't see a team's best at this point of the season but I just don't think we've even really seen the fever yet at 80% of their best I think we've seen flashes of it.
- 13:54[SPEAKER_02]: I think we've seen sparks of it I think we've seen quarters of it but I don't think we've seen a full game of it
- 14:01[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and I'll take a full game of 80% so that at the end of the year, you can play off time at 100% and your building is you're improving.
- 14:09[SPEAKER_00]: Because that's what you're supposed to do.
- 14:11[SPEAKER_00]: You don't want to peek too early.
- 14:13[SPEAKER_02]: This is what my wife tells me.
- 14:16[SPEAKER_00]: There you go, John.
- 14:21[SPEAKER_00]: There you go.
- 14:25[SPEAKER_02]: I told you guys you were going to get spicy.
- 14:30[SPEAKER_00]: Tell you what, something I would like to see, I think, a little bit.
- 14:34[SPEAKER_00]: I think when Raven and Caitlyn are on the court together and even Mitch, I wouldn't mind letting Raven have the ball get past her defender because she will draw help and then that gives her kick out to Kelsey or even maybe Caitlyn, not every time down the floor, but I think that would help to take some of the pressure of my free Cait, might be able to free Caitlyn up to where she actually
- 14:58[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, catch this, Cling, it doesn't have to create it all herself.
- 15:03[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, really good to see positive minutes from not only Raven, but Heinz Allen as well.
- 15:08[SPEAKER_01]: I think those are positives.
- 15:09[SPEAKER_01]: They're going to pay off later in the year.
- 15:12[SPEAKER_02]: I want to see Heinz Allen get a foul that's worth taking a foul.
- 15:16[SPEAKER_02]: That's what I want.
- 15:17[SPEAKER_02]: After all these little Tiki Tag BS ones, I want to see Heinz Allen give somebody like the actual business and say, all right, you want to call fouls.
- 15:24[SPEAKER_02]: Here's a foul.
- 15:26[SPEAKER_00]: I don't I will say one other thing too great.
- 15:28[SPEAKER_00]: I think Sophie played in another good game off the bench I think Sophie's been great.
- 15:33[SPEAKER_01]: I think co I think Sophie has just been that consistently fantastic here lately We'll expect that Heinz Allen and Raven Johnson are new We expect Sophie to be right off the bench every night.
- 15:44[SPEAKER_02]: I actually love I love both Heinz Allen and Raven Johnson I think they're great additions to team.
- 15:49[SPEAKER_02]: I like CM on the floor.
- 15:50[SPEAKER_02]: I think there's so much positive to be had here I just I'm ready to see it
- 15:56[SPEAKER_02]: all come together.
- 15:58[SPEAKER_02]: Lots of people nitpick into what Caitlyn's not doing well lately.
- 16:01[SPEAKER_02]: I think she's doing fine.
- 16:02[SPEAKER_02]: I think she's putting together really good games for pretty much any WWE player.
- 16:08[SPEAKER_02]: I just think the expectations are so high.
- 16:10[SPEAKER_02]: But one real positive I'm seeing out of Caitlyn as I'm loving.
- 16:15[SPEAKER_02]: She's she's like she's taken a little bit of the dribble drive from Kelsey.
- 16:20[SPEAKER_02]: She's picked
- 16:25[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's going to pay off in the long term that she is not afraid to attack the rim right now.
- 16:32[SPEAKER_00]: I like the fact that she is not just settling for long threes or outside shots and is looking to drive to them.
- 16:40[SPEAKER_00]: And my thing with Raven wasn't to take away from Caitlin, but it's because she's having to put, she has so much pressure on her double teams, gets bumped in everything, and she's creating news dribble drives herself.
- 16:51[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like, if you get put Raven on the ball a little bit when Caitlin's on her, she's so explosive.
- 16:57[SPEAKER_02]: Well, my point wasn't really in response to yours.
- 16:59[SPEAKER_02]: They're kind of unrelated.
- 17:00[SPEAKER_02]: I just wanted to make sure I grew with you, John.
- 17:04[SPEAKER_00]: She is that is one area for game.
- 17:06[SPEAKER_01]: I've been really, I've been really pleased to see with Caitlin to the fact that she's going a lot more to the whole John, you said they've shown spurts of being really good and when they are at their best is when Caitlin Clark is driving to the basket no doubt about it
- 17:22[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, for sure.
- 17:23[SPEAKER_02]: You can almost tell that she starts to get frustrated.
- 17:26[SPEAKER_02]: She's like, I'm just going to take over the game.
- 17:29[SPEAKER_02]: And that's honestly when they're their best.
- 17:30[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not saying this earlier tonight.
- 17:33[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I don't think that needs to be like plan A. I'm not saying that always needs to be a plan.
- 17:38[SPEAKER_02]: But when it's happening and it's working, they need to let it run.
- 17:42[SPEAKER_02]: They need to let it run with it.
- 17:44[SPEAKER_02]: Don't be afraid to let Caitlyn take over and be the Kobe or the Jaguar, whoever.
- 17:49[SPEAKER_02]: Once it stops working, then then shift gears.
- 17:53[SPEAKER_02]: But if she gets locked in and starts just going off, I mean, they had a 37 point first quarter because she just was like, a lot of her going off is getting her teammates involved.
- 18:06[SPEAKER_01]: It doesn't really matter.
- 18:08[SPEAKER_01]: She's going to have the ball in her hands anyway.
- 18:10[SPEAKER_01]: Just let her drive.
- 18:11[SPEAKER_01]: She can get to the basket anytime she wants.
- 18:14[SPEAKER_02]: Now, she's made some questionable passes.
- 18:16[SPEAKER_02]: We talked about this before.
- 18:19[SPEAKER_02]: And I think you could tell when she's frustrated, they get worse just that you can kind of see the X.
- 18:26[SPEAKER_01]: When they get behind the pressure, they seem to get worse too, yeah.
- 18:29[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 18:30[SPEAKER_02]: And she wasn't the only one.
- 18:32[SPEAKER_02]: The team as a whole, like we've said this over and over, I feel like I'm just screaming into the void.
- 18:37[SPEAKER_02]: They have to take better care of the ball.
- 18:43[SPEAKER_02]: being there said now I do think that teams are starting to like kick the ball when Caitlyn's going for her thread the needle pad I think that's become a thing will just stick our feet out then they got to take the ball out like I think that's becoming part of their counter strategy to the passing that she's been doing but I don't know it wasn't just her there were some some bad passing tonight
- 19:04[SPEAKER_00]: I'm bad passing.
- 19:05[SPEAKER_00]: We had some dribbling into traffic when you shouldn't be dribbling necessarily into traffic.
- 19:10[SPEAKER_00]: I think Kelsey did that a couple times in the second half.
- 19:13[SPEAKER_00]: I know she's quick in everything, but when you dribbled into traffic straight into the like in the lane and you don't really get to the whole.
- 19:20[SPEAKER_00]: It's really kind of hard to because she's not really tall enough to go up and.
- 19:26[SPEAKER_00]: able to create to shot or throw it off the board and go get a rebound.
- 19:31[SPEAKER_00]: She's really, she is good and she's good offensively.
- 19:33[SPEAKER_00]: She gets really bounce myself.
- 19:34[SPEAKER_00]: She gets more and more now.
- 19:36[SPEAKER_02]: Three rebounds.
- 19:38[SPEAKER_00]: I know.
- 19:39[SPEAKER_00]: I've not been a big fan of the WNBA fish and I do mean the jolly get your frustration because I've not been a fan.
- 19:44[SPEAKER_00]: And I will say this.
- 19:46[SPEAKER_00]: I don't like the fact that they think it's okay
- 19:54[SPEAKER_00]: And that that's just not right or any if you have any star out there that is being and I will say this you said you watch to their games.
- 20:03[SPEAKER_00]: I've seen a couple of other games that that maybe the clips don't get played as much on social media because it doesn't involve Caitlin but there have been really at least a handful of games where the officiating is just you sit there and you're you scratch your head.
- 20:21[SPEAKER_02]: The one that sent me through the roof today was when they called the tech on Kelsey.
- 20:25[SPEAKER_02]: That absolutely just, oh my gosh, I just, I was live it.
- 20:33[SPEAKER_02]: That's a word for you.
- 20:33[SPEAKER_02]: I was live it.
- 20:37[SPEAKER_02]: I couldn't even see straight out of so mad on that one because literally twice we've had angel, Rhys hit Alibosson and Sophie cutting him and they're like, yeah, incidental.
- 20:48[SPEAKER_02]: And then Kelsey's,
- 20:50[SPEAKER_02]: when she's literally falling through the air trying to just stabilize herself and actually it's somebody, nope, that was a player, for sure.
- 20:58[SPEAKER_02]: That just seemed to be the roof.
- 21:01[SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, we're going to have a better week, guys.
- 21:03[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to have a better week.
- 21:05[SPEAKER_02]: Things are going to get positive.
- 21:08[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not going to be angry because it's just sports.
- 21:13[SPEAKER_02]: But you got me to swear tonight, that's the level of frustration.
- 21:18[SPEAKER_01]: I know, I have to do it in the morning before the.
- 21:23[SPEAKER_02]: Very, let's just for the non regular listeners.
- 21:25[SPEAKER_02]: That is rare for me.
- 21:26[SPEAKER_02]: So if you get that, it's another level.
- 21:31[SPEAKER_02]: Where for me to?
- 21:32[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know why she jumped it.
- 21:33[SPEAKER_00]: No.
- 21:37[SPEAKER_01]: It's rare for me, too, unless I'm talking about the mix.
- 21:40[SPEAKER_01]: And then yeah, I don't understand the mix.
- 21:43[SPEAKER_01]: I have to.
- 21:46[SPEAKER_02]: Hi, here you go.
- 21:49[SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, I think we're gonna just take the two else.
- 21:53[SPEAKER_02]: Call on a day, we're gonna move forward and then we'll let the people dance and laugh and whatever and enjoy their wins, but at the end of the season, it's gonna be the fever or a hoist in the trophy.
- 22:03[SPEAKER_00]: John, here's the thing I know.
- 22:05[SPEAKER_00]: you're not a big aces fan and the only reason I like the aces is because it's Jackie Young.
- 22:10[SPEAKER_00]: But remember last year, I mean, Nate, they struggle a lot early and then they put it all together there at the end and we're able to pull out and win the title.
- 22:19[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, well, as you will, so for as much as you like or can dislike as you will, since she had a quote the other day about how, you know, the star of the season, she doesn't play very well because she's getting back into
- 22:34[SPEAKER_02]: So it's kind of like the first several games or her warm-ups just to be ready.
- 22:38[SPEAKER_02]: So it's kind of like what you said, but I mean, when Asia says it, then everybody seems to think or the trend is to believe she's one of the top stars.
- 22:49[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, I'm not gonna take away for it.
- 22:50[SPEAKER_02]: But if she's saying that, then it must be fairly true.
- 22:53[SPEAKER_02]: So just give the fever time to warm up.
- 22:56[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.
- 22:57[SPEAKER_02]: They'll get there.
- 23:00[SPEAKER_01]: And we will talk about it as they do.
- 23:03[SPEAKER_01]: Thanks so much, guys.
- 23:06[SPEAKER_00]: See ya.
- 23:06[SPEAKER_00]: Again, Happy Polish Day, John.
- 23:10[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, to Happy Fathers Day from all of us, I believe John and Michelle and I will be back on Monday to recap the first of back-to-back games against the Mercury.
- 23:22[SPEAKER_01]: We'll definitely do one after the second game if we don't do one after the first.
- 23:27[SPEAKER_01]: It's summertime and things are a little less planned.
- 23:31[SPEAKER_01]: Earlier Sunday, we also had an indie car report with Elijah Poe where we went through qualifying for the race at El Cart Lake, rode America in Wisconsin, and we'll have a race reaction on Sunday, please join us for that.
- 23:45[SPEAKER_01]: Please do as a huge favor and share this podcast with a fever fan in your life, help us spread the word that the Central Indiana Sports Report is talking about, whatever Central Indiana Sports fans are talking about every single day.
- 24:49[SPEAKER_01]: The central Indiana Sports Report is a product of ITG media, and I love Susan.
