I can see why the Sky was picked to finish last in the league, they have the worse roster and no talent, if u have all that talent u shouldn’t be losing much, that says a lot about a player that can’t win with that kind of talent On their team.

LA, Atlanta, Indiana and the Mystics all need new coach’s next season and none of those coaches need to remain in the league.

I would love to see some coaches from the college game move to the W.

With possible expansion, new viewers and the popularity of the college game this is really a chance for the league to capitalize.

LA in particular is so poorly coached. Poor Miller is always ranting and raving about defense and his team sucks on the offensive end. They are also mediocre defensively. Their schemes are pretty basic. Time for something different, they have a quality roster being grossly misused. Same with ATL.

ATL actually has a super good roster but Wight has no idea what she is doing. Her presser yesterday was so unprofessional. League has to move on from these people who are aggressive and mad for no reason. Failure to answer basic questions is just piss poor from a head coach.

The mystics did one of those genetic coaching searches. We all know how those go. Thibault has pretty much only ever worked for daddy, where people get off thinking that’s going to work I’ll never understand. Hire someone with experience who has EARNED that position and worked for it.


Would love to see Bluder take over the Fever for a season or two. You have to green light Clark and let her give the fans what they’ve paid for.

Heck I actually think Kellie could be a great option in LA or ATL. Maybe she would do better somewhere that she doesn’t have to recruit.

I would not play Kia Nurse another minute this season until she commits to passing the ball.

Supposedly a scoring guard but can’t score. Cooke is 10x more effective.

Ray Burrell has made the most of her limited minutes in the first three quarters, with the announcers stating that she gave the Sparks a lift in both quarters she played in.

Rae may take Rickea's starting spot. She always plays w energy, not shooting well but manages to get to the line alot. She had 9 pts, 6-6 fts, 2 reb and an assist.

There's just no committment to helping Rickea at all. The hook is swift. She did take a hard blow to the face and was slow to get up (one of many, the refs let the Liberty mug at will) and he never put her back in. She had 7 pts, a rebound, a steal and an assist. She badly needs this week w no games to regroup. I'm sure they all do.

Nurse is awful, but Zia isn't far behind. She just throws crazy sh*t up there and some of it happened to go in today. McDonald is the only halfway decent guard on the team and today was her day to get benched.

Man I really disagree the Sparks have a quality roster. IMO it's really bad, esp in the backcourt.

They would have to decide if they want to see CC hit logo threes or the Fever win. They've started winning once Boston, Smith, and Mitchell got going and Clark settled in as a really productive point guard. But you may be right, all the sold out arenas may only be about CC and the logo. If so, hire Bluder and send Boston to the Sparks,

That last part.

Bluder just went to two national championship games. She knows how to manage Clark AND win.

Not at the pro level. I could be wrong, you could be right, but I just don't think logo 3s alone are a winning formula in the W. Why waste a talent like Boston who was shriveled and dying on the vine when the Fever were losing and CC was playing hero ball.

IMO Clark was most effective last game when she had like 23 pts, 6 or 8 rebs, 6 or 7 assists, 3 other players scored double figs and they effing won.

Well she’s still shooting them and they are starting to win. If she teammates would hit her when she’s open she’d have a few more a game.

She is the best player on that team. Tired of people pretending she’s not. She’s earned that designation. People will have to get over it. She should be taking 20 shots per game. Easy.

Hey Lucy, does this qualify as an LBD? It's black, and it's definitely little!

Seriously, glad Rickeas doing so well pregame, bc she's really struggling otherwise. She just tweeted praying hands.

Unless some crazy unexpected happens in the second half of the season, it will be CC in a runaway, Angel second and mad about it, and the rest a distant 3rd and on down.

Rickea didn't get a coach that is likely to let her have a ROY type season. They said about Miller from draft day he's a vet oriented coach who does not let rookies "play thru". It's not that he's bad for her in the long run, in fact she compared him to Vic in an interview just the other day and seems to really like him.

But just watch the last game. She started silky smooth, in rhythm, and knocking her fave shots down. So he took out and only sporadically put her back in the rest of the game. Leaast she's played in a long time. Postgame he gave some convuluted answer about her being back to having play to 4 as well as 3 again bc of Brink being out and he saw her overthinking that early in the game. So his answer is to bench her instead of play thru? Totally counterintuitive but that's what he does.

Today he'll play her alot, bc that's what he does too.

OMG. This may have been my most Senior Moment yet to have somehow briefly forgotten about Clark. I knew I shouldn’t have skipped my last checkup. 😂🤣

Yes, I agree 100%. The voting will go 1. Clark 2. Reese 3. Jackson.
