Dallas is much better at home 9-4 while the Sky is only 3-9 on the road.
The Wings should win this one easily but Sloot against Skylar is going to be fun to watch.

| Sloot can show Diggins how it’s done, but Sloot wishes she had a Cambage to work with. Would she be averaging double digit assists?

She had Fowles for several years and didn't get there.

They both have evolved since those days. Sloot probably now knows that she could have been the main backup to Bird at Team USA, or is that another conversation that’s going to break the internet?

| As far as offense goes, I'm having trouble thinking of a better fit for Sloot than Dolson already is.

They are having a poor season with a great backcourt, so it’s hard for me to pin it on anything other than an inconsistent or inferior front line mixed in with some inadequate coaching.
What’s going to improve Chicago next year?

They're terrible defensively, which is a result of their frontcourt being outmatched defensively and possibly lacking coaching. And their depth is also pretty poor. Every team ahead of Chicago has either a dominant frontcourt player, or a great defensive scheme, or both.

| I guess you lost me on your no better fit for Sloot than Dolson point. Now if you had Dolson backing up Cambage on CHI, suddenly you’re a lot closer to a championship contender.

Well they'd still have no starting PF so I doubt the contending status...

Yes, adding stars makes teams better

So that wins the argument that there is a better fit for Sloot? Not sure why it became an argument in the first place. Obviously Cambage is a better choice for the majority of teams in the league over what they got now, even over Dolson.

Plus Fowles has improved. A lot. And they had Pokey as a coach whose offense was dribble down the floor and force it in to Fowles even if she is triple teamed. smh. Just painful to watch.

| Parker checking into the game for the first time with 1 min left in first quarter. Doghouse or Gabby playing too well?

| I like the tempo that the Sky are playing. Slooty is so much fun to watch. Very high basketbal IQ

| Bogus call on Cambage for the 3rd foul, should’ve been a reach in called on Parker.

It really doesn't look like it to me. Wings are horrible tonight.
Sky are playing this really smart.
