The Sky needs to play desperate and angry that like game 2.
Winning on Conn's floor is not foreign to them. Stay focused!
Dana, and Ruthy needs playing time, and not just garbage minutes. Even if they are assigned to stick to someone like glue for a 3 or 4 minute stretch.
I have a feeling Courtney Williams will find her shot at home. CHI's backcourt better be careful. She could be their x factor.

If Hebard and Evans get more than five combined minutes of playing time I will be shocked!đ

| That's a concern I have shared previously. She and Ruthy put in some quality minutes when they had more time a couple of games ago. Behind-the-scenes dynamics we don't see, I guess. Why not play them? Expect them to come in cold and produce without mistakes? Not fair, but who said the world is fair - even though Quincy said to Monica, "All is fair in love and basketball, right?" (quote from the movie "Love and Basketball")

I agree with LaChina. Chicago settling for these outside shots. Only Allie should be taking them with this group on the floor. Get in the paint, draw contact, or even better, score in there... It's not rocket science.
Is there a reason why Kah's teammates won't pass her the ball? Even Candace ignored her standing alone twice in one sequence.

Pam and LaChina keep talking about how the Sun arenât good for TV with their âmessyâ style of play and I believe they are quoting Curt. It appears itâs not just TV - Mohegan seems pretty quiet and those loyal fans are bored in the arena.
Hope Chicago puts them away because this is pretty painful, and Iâm not just talking about Alyssa Thomasâ consistent whining.

| Why was Bonner the only person who cared that Copper was down. Her team didnât take a time out - Bonner took the intentional foul, the the refs tried to keep playing. Wtf was that.

WTF is wrong with Copper today. Her head is not in it.
The body language of the whole team is off.
Did they have a big fight on the team bus or something?

| Jonquel out down the stretch but at -1 she has the best plus/minus of the Sun starters. She ended up +1. The only other positive values were Sims +2 and Carrington +3. Brionna Jones was -4.

| Miller keeping the MVP on the bench at crunch time is puzzling

Connecticut looks so defeated. I think this ends next game.
Fire Curt Miller. He's not getting it done so move on.
Hiedeman should be shooting more but she should not be running the point in late game situations.
Playing Sims and Carrington together and not separately with other lineups is a choice.
Jonquel.... The 2021 MVP has been sidelined. Her teams seems to not know how to get her the ball and they look somewhat better without her on the floor.
Courtney Williams.... Hmm. I think she should come off the bench.
Connecticut.... Chicago Beat yall 3-1 last season and yall out here playing them without an ounce of passion or fire.
The officiating has been poor.
Connecticut plays physical but doesn't like physicality.
Overall, both teams were a mess today. A lot has changed for both and yet, the series is looking the same way it did last year.

Connecticut really could have used Jasmine Thomas.

That was the kind of game that makes me think of how the trolls trash the WNBA. It was an ugly, sloppy game. Certainly not a showing of "the best players in the world."
Miller apparently can't pull this off. Yeah, the players have to get it in the basket, but his player rotation was puzzling as others have said. Might go the way of Pokey after getting close but not to the top...
That, of course, assumes the Sky can finish on Tuesday!
