‘She’s so bad’: Criticism mounts as Caitlin Clark continues to struggle in blowout loss

This week, the rivalry between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese was renewed as Clark’s Indiana Fever took on Reese and the Atlanta Dream twice in three days. Unfortunately for Clark, however, she went 0-2 in those games as she struggled to protect the ball, especially in Saturday’s game.

While Clark got off to a hot start in Saturday’s game, she quickly cooled off and finished with a season-high in turnovers in what turned out to be a blowout loss to the Dream. As a result of her struggles, Clark received some heavy criticism from fans.

Clark’s Turnover Issues

Ever since she entered the league, Clark has led the league in turnovers, averaging a league-high 5.6 turnovers per game during her rookie season in 2024 and 5.2 turnovers per game in 2025. This season, Clark is once again leading the league in turnovers, averaging 4.8 turnovers per contest.

She once again struggled on Saturday night.

Clark started off strong in Saturday’s showdown with the Dream, scoring 13 points in the first quarter with no turnovers. However, she cooled down significantly the rest of the game, scoring just 13 points over the next three quarters combined. However, scoring wasn’t Clark’s biggest issue in the loss.

While Clark finished the first quarter without a single turnover, she turned the ball over a season-high seven times through the rest of the game as the Fever blew an 11-point lead to eventually lose in a blowout, 113-96.

Criticism Mounts for Caitlin Clark

After the game, Clark received a heavy dose of criticism on social media as a result of her turnover struggles on Saturday night.

“5 turnovers in 5 minutes for Caitlin Clark but her fans will act like it’s a war crime when GMs don’t name her the best PG in the league,” one fan wrote in a post on X.

“This game isn’t on Stephanie white, this game is on Caitlin’s lack of leadership and turnovers,” someone else added.

“She is a massive net negative if she goes cold, because she is the least versatile and most one-way player in the W. If she’s not hitting her shot, she’s a boat anchor,” another fan wrote in a post.

“This is her issue. It’s hard for her to put together a complete game. From start to finish. It’s either one half or the other. Or one insane quarter,” someone else added.

“She’s not having a good season. That’s the bottom line,” another fan wrote.

“Clark is a cancer. Those turnovers in the second half ruined the Fever’s lead. You cultists can keep blaming the coach and the teammates, but the team was better off without her,” someone else added.

“She’s so bad,” another fan wrote.

Clark is obviously a prolific scorer and playmaker, ranking fourth in the league in scoring with 20.8 points per game and second in assists per game with 8.2. However, her turnovers continue to be an issue, and that was once again the case on Saturday.
