Seattle swept Connecticut this year. Atlanta is better. |
Without Alyssa Thomas i believe. |
Atlanta swept Connecticut. Alyssa Thomas only missed one of those games; Connecticut was at full strength in the others. Also, in the game that the Sun played without Thomas, the Dream played without Hayes.

| The Format will be interesting.Certain teams will benefit from their positioning which will lead to a lot of upsets. If theres a such thing as upsets in professional basketball. I feel theres a 50% chance we won't see the #1 or #2 seed in the finals . Possibly one or the other. Makes for great entertainment. The old format could not produce this with the uneven field of talent in the East vs West.

Stevens should be the starting PF next season...Johnson is trade bait.Glory needs a change of scenery IMO ..Dallas should be able to get back a starter,two quality bench players,or maybe even a lottery pick for Johnson(4th pick)......If Chicago ends up with the 4th pick,and McCowen,Brown,and Collier are no longer on the board....Johnson for the 4th pick is very plausible.
Dallas could draft Durr and KLS with the 4th/5th picks.
G-Diggins
G-Durr
C-Cambage
F-Stevens
F-Samuelson
Dallas could throw in Davis just to sweeten the deal.

*Long Winded Post Alert*
Looking at the rest of the Wings schedule and comparing it to how they've been playing, there's a legitimate chance that they won't win another game. If that happens and LV manages to squeak out 3 wins, the Wings won't even make the playoffs.
And to those of you looking forward to high draft picks, please name a Wings pick in the last 4 years that has been indisposable. They don't develop their rookies at all and then trade them off for nothing without giving them a chance. So unless we have another Aja Wilson or Breanna Stewart in the draft, they won't be anything that I'd get excited about.
Although I'm #TeamGetFredTheFuckOuttaHere, if you go by what Erin and Tahj have said in multiple game interviews, the team doesn't do a damn thing that they practice. And outside of the little win streak, they generally play really low iq basketball. Horrible spacing, no ball movement, constantly chucking up 3's, forcing the ball to Liz when half of the opposing team is on her back, terrible defense, etc. Sure, Fred is bad, but the players also are the blame for this mess.

I agree. Especially since I could see Cambage missing most, if not all, of the 5 remaining games after that head knock.

She will get that rest i mentioned earlier. She walked off on her own i doubt she misses all 5. Maybe 3 out of 5 maybe none. We shall see

We shall. Hopefully she is ok, but it looked like a concussion-worthy impact to me and I was really surprised she went back out onto the court after it, especially straight away.
Fingers crossed for her.

No...that's on the Coach...Fred gives his players too much freedom to do what the hell they want...No Discipline & No Accountability combined with a mediocre offensive and defensive gameplan.

No, I think they love Fred. It’ll probably take a strong hand from the front office to get rid of him.

She hit the back of her head pretty hard. Hopefully she will be ok. I dont like how she is trying to draw that foul though. She grabbed Jones arm and fell down with it on purpose

Or maybe the Sky realized they need more losses for their 20-year tanking plan.
