Don’t think she lost the game this is one of the games where I wish she would have asserted herself earlier. Ty Harris brought our offense to a stand still and Jefferson did absolutely nothing. Mabrey is our PG but also our 2nd best offensive option without Sabally or McCowan. I’m also over the Collier experiment as well she’s not tough enough to bang with the bigs in the W imo. |
yeah, Mabrey and Burton looked much better than either Harris or MoJeff. But when Arike shoots 3-14, 1-5 from three and has six TOs, it's hard not to point a finger that way.

You had to see it in person she literally kicked the shit out of Thornton who knows how to sell a call might I add. Tonight was intense love the crowds energy I’ve never been that vocal and loud/comfortable at a game. |
FWIW I thought the "kick" appeared accidental, and not particularly forceful.

Arike played to me as if she wanted to feel out how the others players stepped up versus being the go to option. Mabrey is a baller and the only reason she came in after Harris and MoJeff is bc VJ wanted one last look before she makes that hard cut .

| If Teaira McCowan requests not to be called something, I will listen to the 6-7 lady who knows where to get a sword. Same deal with Sylvia Fowles and not wanting to be called Big Syl; if someone knows exactly how to deal with a dead body, do not piss them off.

Impressed with Howard- she didn't have a great scoring night but still found a way to impact the game on both ends of the floor and finished with 16pts 4blks in her rookie debut. I love her size and once she's gets comfortable enough to start using it to get to the basket, she'll be a problem.
Wallace was impressive too, looked like the best passer of both teams. Atlanta won't be good but should at least be fun this year.

No one's worse than Rucko & Lobo. Had to mute the Sun vs Lib game |
They are one of the few pairs I don't like but since they are on ESPN they must be considered the best per focus groups or producer opinions.

| Kristy Wallace looked surprisingly quick/fast. Don't remember that in the few times I saw her at Baylor. But she looked at least a couple of inches shorter than her " listed 5'11" " height, but when she was guarding the same listed height Mabrey it looked like maybe only an inch shorter but I think she seems smaller because she doesn't have long arms or legs.

Ughh. The only person on the team close to respectable shooting way Mabrey. Hers was a solid 50% given they could do next to nothing to help each other play offense.
Burton seems like a good pick up. By the end of the game I trusted her handles and her energy.
I think VJ gets the blame here. Why go back to the same crappy 5 to start the second half after getting it close.
Arike, WTF. Got you bag, now you’re not bothered to play?
Why are they playing with 4 pg’s and no posts other than Izzy and Awak? Again VJ, why cut Unique? Obvie we didn’t get to see her play, but I recall her being strong at Auburn.
This game IMO came down to being bullied in the post. Hope McCowan is the answer or this is again going to be a long season.

| This Dream team doesn't look like a team that's going to win many games this year. If it weren't for Indiana, this could have been a contest for the basement. |
Considering they were missing their best player they didn't look that terrible |
Hot take: the Atlanta Dream are, and pretty much always have been, better without Tiffany Hayes.

In one of the few moments I had the tube off mute, I thought Regan said one of the more laughable inanities - something to the effect that by starting the same 5 in the second half VJ was showing them that she trusted them...

Here's the video of the "kick":

The play was physical for sure and looked like more of a scrum than an intentional action. I suppose the call was because it was a blow to the head? I missed this game so I'm not sure how things had been throughout.

Like I said - no balls to make the right decisions. Whether its her or Greg or both collectively. Collier should've been dump over Thompson. I want Dickey's scoring but would take double double Thompson to bang in the paint

It’s not too late. I’m sure if she were asked she’s come back.

Hell, yeah she'd come back. But alas, they're praying that Collier gets a grasp from the bench.

or how about T.Mc . I can't possibly remember how to spell her first name and can't look it up every time she is mentioned.
