| Seimone has not been ruled out for this game. I'm going to assume that she won't play and will be back for sunday's game but we will see.

Hard to see how they would know what to do with a new team. May depend on how close the game is, and I'm not very optimistic about that. Also - will they have uniforms ready? I guess they can use on of Young's old ones.....

| I'm a little apprehensive on what the new players might add for ATL. They've been getting by with only 3 post players for the longest time, and now they've got Henry back and added Boyette. They've got more they can throw at Fowles and should be able to play more aggressively on defense. Young is an upgrade to Hooper, but not sure where she fits on the depth chart. I suppose she could be a small ball 4 with a penchant for defense. Or maybe Cooper wants to go away from the 3 guard system and have Young eventually start at SF, which means Sykes would be getting her minutes off the bench. It'll be interesting to see what happens.

well, Morello's out for the season & they waived Hopkins, so that leaves them with 10 players tonight. I doubt Copper just uses 8 players(starters remain the same leaving Ajavon, Holmes & Dantas off the bench).

The Dream have gotten by in the post by getting killed every time they faced a decent center. Fowles, Griner, even Meesseman have looked dominant against Atlanta. Saying three post players is generous, as Dantas doesn't really play in the post. Our undersized and undermanned frontline is regularly throttled on the boards. Boyette should be a big help.
As for Young, I still don't see what she brings that's an improvement over Bria Holmes.

| I expect the Dream to win since the Lynx will probably have no answer to superstars Tamera Young & Imani Boyette.

| Even though the stats don't show it, Alexis Jones looks like she belongs out there. Not like Reeve to use her this early in a tight game.

For differing values of "fun," perhaps.

| I Dont Think I Like douglas as an ESPN Halftime Analyst. She sounds very monotone and boring. I like her look though i can tell the W might have played a hand in this choice with the whole wiggins assassination before the season!

Too much makeup. Let the pros do it.
