| I really hope Akhator is injured, otherwise why isn't she getting any playing time?

Shakhator is hurt. She sprained her ankle in practice.

PEGASUS POWER . . . almost.
Very competitive game. Freddie showed confidence in Chong and her defense by playing her the first half of the fourth quarter. |

Yeah, that safety feature is probably not needed here. I might tweak that. |
That would be nice. |
Done. |
Wow, that was fast. Thanks!

I thought Chong looked good. The only drawback was that during her extended play at the end of the 3rd and the first part of the 4th, Gray was sitting on the bench. Gray's offense is far superior to Chong's. Saniya needs to look for her shot more (12 minutes, only 2 shots plus 2 FTs). She's quick and has a nice outside shot. She should use it.

they just don't have a connection on offense. they need to be hi-lowing the hell out of teams with glory's athleticism, but glory cannot get the ball. |
They dont have a connection in any shape form or fashion and ill leave it at that....

I thought she passed up an open 3 on the break. Led to a turnover the other way. But in a couple weeks hopefully this team is Feeling each other better.
Such a great game to watch. The Wings, whose glaring hole is at the center position, have opened up against 2 teams with beasts in the middle and played strong. Speaking of beasts, it was good to see Syl. Haven't seen her since she played for the Sky. She is always so nice to my boys and such a great role model. And she's just so radiant up close!

| There was a play in the 3rd qtr where augustus literally snatched T. Howard by the jersey collar and screamed so loud for hervto pick up the intensity. Thats the difference between the two teams. Dallas has more of the pity party type players with social egos that smirk and have things to say back to coaches. Thats allowed from what I've seen over these past 2 seasons tbh

| Surprised no one brought up diggins-$miths stat line 22 /8/5 / idk about the one steal count. At one point in the 3rd Qtr the jumbotron read she had 8 steals ill have to go back and watch.

Skylar was great,especially in the 2nd half.Notice in the 3rd quarter when dallas made their run Skylar took 0 shots.She led the comeback by creating offense for her teammates.Gray played a terrific game.She put up 15 pts without forcing the issue.Thorton led the 1st half comeback with 9 pts off the bench.Plaisance/Chong were both solid off the bench.Davis unfortunately came back to down to earth,but she still played solid defense.Mediocre offensive game from Glory.Dallas needs to get Johnson more involved on offense.She's more than capable of averaging 15-17ppg.I understand Glory/her agent are very indifferent towards Dallas organization/Diggins.Don't know if it's jealousy or what.But if Dallas has any plans on making the playoffs and winning a round,Johnson needs to have a bigger role on offense.5 field goal attempts in 30 minutes isn't enough.
Y'all need to cut Paris some slack for the first two games.Griner/Fowles are the two best centers in the world.Fowles first 2 opponents didn't fair much better than Paris:
Boyette:7p/12r/2-7/3-4/31m
Stokes:6p/3r/2-4/2-2/24m
Fowles shot 60% against Boyette & Stokes.....Griner's 2 opponents other than Paris were also mediocre.
De Souza:4p/6r/2-10/19m
Larkins:4p/8r/1-2/25m
At least Paris held Griner to 2 rebounds in the season opener.Courtney's stat line against Fowles wasn't great,but it wasn't awful either:9p/5r/2s/2b/4-5/1-1/22m

It's early, and Dallas has probably had more of its players around for a lengthy training camp than most teams have had. And I know that probably contributes to them looking pretty good out of the gate. However, it's also hard to argue with the fact that Gray, Christmas and Davis give Dallas a pretty good blend of size and athleticism on the wings. With Gray and Davis also having a collegiate championship pedigree.
I picked Dallas pretty low. I may well have been off on that prediction. This team has a lot of players who can attack you and have you back on your heels. They looked good against a great team who's also largely been together for most of camp.

Dallas is missing Ariel Powers and they have 5 rookies on their opening day roster. Evelyn Akhator is also out, so their play thus far has been quite amazing.
