Chicago just can not play good team defense. Question is can this problem be fixed with coaching or player replacements?

Replacements.
No rim protection, no defenders on the wing, players not rotating, players giving up on the wing and watching players go by. Every playoff team has at least one solid defender in the starting lineup, and with Stevens and DeShields out, its a fucking nightmare on that end of the court. Turnovers - specifically teams scoring from them has been a problem all season.
And Wade had the audacity to say this team practiced defense after getting embarrassed against the Mystics and proceed to follow that up by getting embarrassed against a team 5 games below .500._________________

LMAO, I was more so referring to the starting lineup being tweaked.
I’d like to see:
Vandersloot
DeShields
Copper
Parker
Stevens
It’s time to bring Quigley off the bench. She doesn’t defend nor hustle at all to justify the three point shooting.
Hebard needs to be the first post off the bench.
Williams playing the 4 needs to end, if she can’t play the 2/3, she serves no purpose.
That’s my rant for the time being.
Feel kind of bad for hijacking this thread but the Dream fans don’t seem to mind. |
Just for fun I looked up how that lineup did this year. They only played 9 minutes total for the season, and finished with an offensive rating of 113 (which is really good) and a defensive rating of 59.1 (which is just silly). So might be worth a shot. |

The next big question is who should we keep and who should we trade away? I know one player that I would like the Sky to dump ASAP. |

I am game for anything positive and effective that will help the Sky win games. |
Especially tonight! The Dream Twitter account banner currently says, "Chicago Sky fans". Oh, and we're quite fond of the Liberty, too!
