It's a daggone shame how hard we have to work to beat the #10 team after we have fallen to #6.

I really hope we are able to maintain what we've done in the first half, but I won't be surprised if we don't. Sad

Dietrick - 15 points, 4 assists, 2 steals, +11

And this team was working on defense. Laughing

Chicago just can not play good team defense. Question is can this problem be fixed with coaching or player replacements?

Carter tweaked her ankle. They clearly didn't need her so let her rest it.

For as long as I have been following the Sky, they have been very passive or negligent defensively. For the most part, they either stand and watch to see if a shot will go in (most often they don't because even our occasional snipers are too inconsistent) rather than position themselves to get rebounds, or they head back down the court as if confident that the shots went/are going down (which too often they don't). Rolling Eyes

Years ago, even Michael Cooper commented on about how the Sky stood around and watched whenever EDD took a shot! Neutral

The hot minute we had Awvee Storey as an assistant coach, he was supposed to fix the defense. Got fired with Stocks that year...

Replacements.

No rim protection, no defenders on the wing, players not rotating, players giving up on the wing and watching players go by. Every playoff team has at least one solid defender in the starting lineup, and with Stevens and DeShields out, its a fucking nightmare on that end of the court. Turnovers - specifically teams scoring from them has been a problem all season.

And Wade had the audacity to say this team practiced defense after getting embarrassed against the Mystics and proceed to follow that up by getting embarrassed against a team 5 games below .500.

The next big question is who should we keep and who should we trade away? I know one player that I would like the Sky to dump ASAP. Rolling Eyes

LMAO, I was more so referring to the starting lineup being tweaked.

I’d like to see:
Vandersloot
DeShields
Copper
Parker
Stevens

It’s time to bring Quigley off the bench. She doesn’t defend nor hustle at all to justify the three point shooting.

Hebard needs to be the first post off the bench.

Williams playing the 4 needs to end, if she can’t play the 2/3, she serves no purpose.

That’s my rant for the time being. Very Happy

Feel kind of bad for hijacking this thread but the Dream fans don’t seem to mind. Laughing

Just for fun I looked up how that lineup did this year. They only played 9 minutes total for the season, and finished with an offensive rating of 113 (which is really good) and a defensive rating of 59.1 (which is just silly). So might be worth a shot. Wink

Especially tonight! The Dream Twitter account banner currently says, "Chicago Sky fans". Oh, and we're quite fond of the Liberty, too! Smile
