That arena was packed because of her homecoming...

The Visibility of the SKY has went up alot since Reese got there.


I agree, but I am keeping my eye on Aaliyah Edwards on that Washington team. She's starting to figure it out, I think she will be an all star sooner than later.

^love it. Keep pushing each other

She just had arguably the best game of any rookie this year

Her and Paige gonna tear it up next year at the rate Washington is going lol

The Mystics looked really bad against the Sky. Fever should get a comfortable win here. They are rested and more talented. Plus the Mystics played last night.

Clark might drop 35 tonight.

Someone a page or so back said that the last expansion team picked 4th

I mean, it would be a no brainer to send Paige to the Valkyries from a business perspective but I'm not sure how this all works.

So, far as I can tell, the Dream were given the 4th pick outside of lottery rules, meaning the WNBA did the lottery and then gave the Dream the 4th pick

I find it highly unlikely they would just give the expansion team the 1st overall pick given that it'd run counter to the point of the lottery to pre-determine who's getting the #1 pick, but they could do like the NHL does I believe where they put them in the lottery at 4 or 5 and then see how it ends up.

Good to see Didi Richards back in the league, I wish the Liberty could have kept her.

Makes sense. It would be pretty unfair to the other teams that bottom out.

I think I saw a people photoshopping paige in a Valkyrie t shirt so I thought they might have had the first pick. :lol:

Good article in Rolling Stone, and CC isn't even mentioned until the 10th paragraph:

https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-sports/wnba-womens-basketball-olympics-1235030924/
"Coach, why don't you just relax? We're not good enough to beat the Lakers. We've had a great year, why don't you just relax and cool down?"

Yeah it's kind of frustrating because their defense just craters out of nowhere and then they turn the power back on.

I do like however having a 5 of Jonquel/Stewie/Thornton/Betnijah/Sabrina. That is elite spacing and size across the board. I hope Vandersloot will be okay
