The 2026 WNBA Playoffs have featured some great, electric moments thus far, and while the Indiana Fever couldn't overcome a talented Las Vegas Aces team, they still made headlines. After winning Game 2 to extend the opening-round matchup to a win-or-go-home Game 3, the Fever lost 94-83 and now enter the offseason with plenty of questions to answer.
But before we get to that, former WNBA star and current analyst Candace Parker made sure to address one specific viral Caitlin Clark moment.
In the fourth quarter of Game 2, Clark hit a clutch three-pointer and appeared to turn toward Parker, who was announcing the game, and yell something while pointing. Clark was spotted hugging Parker after the game and seemingly addressed what was eventually confirmed
to be Clark, yelling, "[expletive] you think this is?!"

Fortunately, Parker loved the moment. She talked about it on her podcast with Aliyah Boston, Post Moves, comparing it to when Steph Curry hit a big three and yelled at Reggie Miller out of excitement.
"I was just minding my business at the scorer's table, and Caitlin Clark hit a big three...and then I think she said, 'What the [expletive] do you think this is?'" Parker said with a laugh. "I was just kind of like, 'Yeah, great shot; I'm just sitting here minding my own business, but I love it.'"

Parker continued, saying she "loved the passion" from Clark and other players in those moments. Obviously, given that Clark and Parker laughed it off after the game, both sides knew it was a moment of excitement, not actually directed at the former player in fashion.
Although Clark and the Fever dropped the first-round series, the star guard had a strong all-around performance, averaging 20.0 points, 9.7 assists and 4.0 rebounds in the three games.
