| Chicago needs another player in the starting lineup who can create offense, preferably a post player.

Looked like DeShields had her heel above the circle and was leaning, but block/charge is always a tough call.
Atlanta has been playing more like Atlanta recently because of their defense. They are being pesky to other teams and in the first half they were using it against Chicago to score.
Hopefully they can end strong.

They were moving it around a little bit more in the first half, when Bentley was on the bench with 3 fouls. I don't feel as comfortable when Bentley is running the point, or even playing the 2 and she does too much dribbling and then puts up a shot.

haha, yeah, they probably had to set to switch back over to network right at 2pm and didn't account for it being a live event so they had to do a manual switch back.

| I hope Coach Collen is ok. I'm hoping it's just a blood sugar thing or something.

^Looks like she'll be alright, maybe a reaction to some bad Bratwurst or something. Some antacids, water and rest oughta clear it right up.

Rarely good free throw shooting ALMOST saved Atlanta's bacon today.
As did Renee being the only player capable of hitting perimeter shots with any degree of regularity. Bad 'n Bentley!

Collen should give Cazorla all of Bentley's minutes.

A Bentley trade to LA would not shock me.
With the additions of Faulkner and Ndour. The Sky now have the best bench in the league...JMO....KLS is 11th on the depth chart.

Def very strong bench. It’s unusual how they get such a defensive push from their bench.

| So much Bentley criticism and I agree. When she's in a rhythm and hitting shots, it looks good. But, since she's been back from Eurobasket, it's been too many shots and not enough makes. She's pressing too hard and it's to the detriment of her team. I'm fine with giving Cazorla more minutes in her place.

| Bentley dribbles the ball too much and often has to launch an off balance shot before the shot clock goes off. She would rather shoot than pass. Cazorla is the exact opposite.

Yeah, the announcers briefly alluded to it but I hadn't heard more about it. All Tip had put on Instagram stories was about them closing on their new house.

DeShields plays well; Sky win.
Atlanta bench: 46 minutes, 3-17, 7 points, 8 rebounds, 7 fouls, 2 assists. Hard to win with that kind of contribution ...
