| Tiffany Hayes, aka Speedy Gonzales, aka Ms. Offense versus Brittney Sykes, aka Ms. 'Leave Everything on the Floor', aka Ms. Defense: always a compelling treat. Their practice time faceoffs have been upgraded to regular season wars Rhyne Howard, Big Mama says, "Welcome to the WNBA, Rookie!" Actually, Lady President, Nneka Ogwumike, will probably be indoctrinating a younger version of herself in high level professional play much more so than Hollywood Liz. The Atlanta Dream has traditionally served as a gauging point for overall team play for the Ladies from the Land of LaLa. I expect that trend to continue tonight.

I wouldn't know. I'm still acclimating myself to the WNBA season after a whirlwind NFL post season, initial free agency season, and draft sessions. Tiff has been a perennial pain in the royal tush where the Sparks have been concerned; so, with the Dark Angel departed, naturally she has become the first concern when the Dream are our opponents.

| One thing I must say I totally love the commercial breaks on live access way more than ever before. There’s some other parts I wish they could make easier but this portion by far gets an A+.

| Carter still playing me, me, me ball. But LA takes care of that by putting her on the bench. LA just looks a bit discombobulated - like not quite playing team ball yet.

| I've never seen Wallace before. Quite the hustler...in a good way. Her second foul was definitely not good for Atlanta.

Yep. Directly across from the home bench.

Hustle is her trademark. Foul trouble is also a regular feature.

I have never in my life seen that many attendees at a Dream game. The new arena suits them well! Good for them.

| The Dream will win, but Wheeler needs to run more offense instead of holding onto the ball and jacking up a shot as the clock winds down.

The Sparks need to do a better job of getting Liz quality shots and establishing her early in the game. There needs to be an offensive pecking order and it has to start with Liz/Nneka. Due to her small stature, Canada is a poor post-entry passer. Fisher will need to make an adjustment. Cambage also needs to do her part by staying aggressive and not settling for jump shots.
LA will not make the playoffs if Canada/Sykes are taking the same amount of shots as Liz/Nneka.

It did appear so at the time you posted that. Then they got all weird about it.
