Christie Sides Facing Serious Backlash for Inexcusable Lineup Decision in Fever-Dream

Entering Monday night, the Indiana Fever are closing in on their final stretch of games, and every single one is vital as they try to end a seven-year playoff drought.
However, the focal point continues to be around the questionable decision-making from Fever head coach Christie Sides. Many believed that Sides would make a change to the starting lineup Monday night, after dropping Saturday night's game to the Minnesota Lynx , but she thought otherwise and is facing serious backlash because of it.
“No, the players that are out there on the floor are being productive in the moment and that changes night to night. The big goal is to win.” Sides said.
Fever fans are surely upset with some of the decisions that Sides has done over the course of the season, but after playing Hull 25 minutes off the bench, fans were expecting Hull to take the step forward into the starting lineup, and after the lineup was released Monday night, they let Christie Sides hear it.
"The follow-up question should have been well what game were you watching. Sides is the worst kind of coach. Has to be forced to make changes." A fan said
"How is KLS better than Lexie???????" Another said.
One more fan responded, "She's the worst HC in the league."
Sides has very minimal supporters right now, and the only way for her to change that is to set her team up for success, which she has struggled to do at times with odd in-game substitutions and a lack of making adjustments when needed.
