WNBA - English
Stephanie White has faced scrutiny from analysts and fans, but she remains unfazed. The Indiana Fever’s head coach is crystal clear about her vision for Caitlin Clark and the rest of the team in the 2025 WNBA season. According to a well-known analyst, if the team executes White’s strategy, they could become unstoppable.
When introduced as the Fever’s head coach last October, White laid out her game plan for the upcoming season. “I think our players naturally play fast. When you look at what Indiana did a year ago, they were among the top teams in the league in pace and offense,” she explained.
White’s philosophy is built on an offensive-heavy approach centered around her star trio: Clark, Aliyah Boston, and Kelsey Mitchell. “We want to make sure we have more options to share the ball, making it more difficult to guard our big three,” she emphasized. Rachel DeMita, an analyst and podcast host, believes this strategy puts the Fever on track for a playoff run.
White’s plan in action
DeMita has been one of White’s biggest supporters, frequently praising her game plan for Indiana. Analyzing footage from the team’s first preseason workouts on her podcast The Courtside Club, she confidently stated, “The Fever is going to be absolutely fine.”
She also praised the team’s movement-even in practice. “We’ve already seen in the first few minutes of the scrimmage how fast they are moving the ball. They’re going upo and down the court,” she observed.
Additionally, DeMita highlighted how White’s strategy has been embraced by the entire roster. “That is one thing you’ve heard from every single player on this Indiana Fever team: they want to play fast. Even the second unit is playing with a really quick pace,” she noted.
Championship aspirations
The Fever is entering the 2025 WNBA season with one clear goal: a championship. With a roster stacked with talent and led by Clark, Boston, Mitchell, and veteran DeWanna Bonner, the team is already making waves in its early practices.
Now entering her third professional season, Boston highlighted her growing chemistry with Clark. “Now, we know exactly how we like to play,” she stated-a statement that feels like a warning to the rest of the league.

Craque Neto aponta time ‘perseguido’ pela imprensa no Brasil
Craque Neto no comando do "Os Donos da Bola" (Reprodução - YouTube) O Craque Neto voltou a subir o tom contra a imprensa alegando que há uma conduta diferente na divulgação das dívidas do Corinthians no comparativo com outros clubes. No “Os Donos da Bola” desta terça (29), o apresentador ficou na bronca após novas informações sobre o aumento do déficit alvinegro. Na avaliação dele, a ampliação da dívida ainda precisa ser provada, e independente das cifras, existem equipes rivais que também estão mergulhadas em despesas, como o SPFC, Atlético-MG e Santos, mas o cenário é pouco abordado pela mídia. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE “Eu sei o quanto o SPFC deve, tintim por tintim, deve R$ 1 bilhão. Isso é tanta incompetência quanto o Corinthians. Todo mundo incompetente. Não tem diferença.

The Magic will need to get creative this offseason to build on strong foundation
BOSTON — It seems perfectly appropriate that the final game of the Orlando Magic’s 2024-25 season — a 120-89 loss Tuesday night to the Boston Celtics in Game 5 of their first-round playoff series— revealed the team’s positives and negatives in one fell swoop.For one half Tuesday night, as well as for the four full games that preceded it, the Magic battled the reigning NBA champions toe-to-toe and at times outplayed the more experienced Celtics. The perceived star potential of Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner, the quality of the team’s defense and the team’s effort all met, or even exceeded, expectations. There’s no doubt the Celtics are the better team, but the Magic made the Celtics’ 4-1 series victory a tough one. The Magic showed they have a foundation they can build on.AdvertisementBut the final 22 minutes of Game 5 […]
Casagrande não descarta campeão da Copa do Brasil: “Pode chegar”
Casagrande, comentarista e ex-jogador (Reprodução) Walter Casagrande é sempre muito contundente em suas manifestações. Desta vez, o ex-jogador assegurou que o Corinthians não teria chances de brigar pelo Brasileirão, isso porque acredita que o elenco chega a ser inferior a outras equipes do futebol brasileiro. Por outro lado, Casão entende ser possível que o Timão possa alcançar resultados melhores, por exemplo, na Copa do Brasil. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE “Corinthians tem um time que, completo, é muito bom, competitivo, mas não é para ganhar o Campeonato Brasileiro. Não tem o elenco do Palmeiras, Flamengo, Internacional… é um time para Copas. Copa do Brasil? Talvez, mas não para um campeonato regular”, analisou Casagrande. Com Dorival Júnior agora no comando, o comentarista ‘torce’ para o treinador conseguir ajustar um problema que parece crônico: o sistema defensivo.
