| Hopefully DRob only has this year left on her contract. |
She seems to have her speed back, and looked really good on some slashes to the basket, but she just needs to learn to finish again. So many missed layups this year.

| Have they played overseas? |
They went head to head in a playoff series in China and the times I watched, this is what happened. (and the times I didn't watch, the boxscore suggested that the same thing also happened)

| Cambage & Stevens were only ones who showed up tonight. Rest of the Wings should be embarrassed.

| Its early im going to give them the benefit of the doubt although Grays Sophmore slump worries me. We need Powers and Johnson back soon. On the bright Side Liz got to See Sylvia & Her Cousin Temi Up Close & Personal. I underestimated sylvia i must say , Liz still ended with a double double so i wont complain about her as much as i will about our Guard play .

I stopped watching after the first half. Pleasantly surprised to see the Wings got it to single digits.
Great play in the first half when Cambage got a rebound and then gave a long outlet pass to a sprinting Davis for a fast break layup. I think it was a two-handed pass as well.

Looking at these comments makes me glad that I missed this game. Let me go ahead a delete it off of my DVR lol.
Sidenote: It's early in the season so my Wings still have a lot of time to improve. But my goodness, when they play bad they play BAD.

Looks like same as last season early on- gunning, poor shot selection, little/bad passing and poor leadership/coaching. Too many wannabe stars. Dallas really needs a good strong coach and disciplinary leader. Trainer, educator yes, but a strong leader and disciplined coach no.
Aerial's coming back presents the same dilemma. She's talented and plays hard but she's another gunner who needs discipline. Pass her the ball and it's going up and not coming back.
Too much talent on this team to just piss it away with poor leadership, little structure and inadequate discipline.

Thornton did pretty well. Really brought the energy.

I didn't see this game and now I'm not sure I want to. Sounds very ugly.

I watched part of this game while waiting for the Phoenix/Storm game to start. The Wings did play poorly, however I expect some of that has to do with no being full strength and a determined Lynx team that were still fuming off the loss to the Sparks.
However, the Lynx showed major vulnerability. The Wings, while playing poorly, were down 25 and came back within 4 towards the end. Reeves kept having to put her starters back in and given a few minutes more may have had to do it again at the end.

Eh, I wouldn't read too much into that. Reeve was playing a full bench rotation and had taken all of her starters out of the game. Meanwhile, the Wings contjnued to play their starters. The outcome of that was to make the game look a lot closer than it was, but it gave the backups some valuable time out there.

The game was never in doubt. The Wings comeback made the score look more respectable, but the Lynx dominance was obvious from watching the game.

And this is why I don't like gunners with the starting front court players on the floor at the same time... Imagine running Liz just running up and down the floor with no touches...
