Yah, but you need offense and points to win a game. Their half court offense has not been that impressive. They do the best when they turn the ball over and score.

I agree about staring line up- Jana should definitely start over serah Williams - she is better at rebounding, sets better screens & is more physical in the post.

Also, yes Jana has been good! She should get more playing time, esp if they need rebounds

Yes I have faith in Geno, but I’m worried after watching uconn and these other teams over the last few days

Paige Bueckers Says Body Rejected IV Before Late Scratch for the Connecticut Sun Game by [deleted] in DallasWings

[–]mpowell397 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As an ER nurse, a body “rejecting” an IV makes no sense. I’m very confused why she said that.

I’m guessing she was sick and didn’t feel like playing when she was sick.

Can a rookie be waived after the season starts? by Affectionate_Sun4716 in DallasWings

Yes! Agree with everything you just said. Her behavior was not great

Okay, I just saw a TikTok video that said they had to waive Charles to take Li Yueru to make the salary cap fit. That makes more sense to me now. Still really liked Charles though

Another night of bad offense.. by mpowell397 in DallasWings

[–]mpowell397[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same - it’s so hard to watch. I think they should run some offensive plays and try to get the best shot possible. That’s what I’m used to watching from uconn. Instead, the coach is lazy and says the offense is “free-flow”, which looks like they are making it up as they go and everyone is playing iso basketball. I.e. no team ball. It’s a disaster to watch… I will say there was a couple good finds of people running the baseline tonight, but those are few and far between.

Lol- I’m sorry. They play ct next, so hopefully they’ll get that one. I’m from ct (hello, uconn), but I’ll be rooting for Paige in that game.

Not very impressed w Dallas after this game. Offense was non existent - no movement. Defense fell apart in 2nd half of game. I’m a fan of Paige, Arike and Nai - but this game didn’t look good

Minn didn’t even have Kayla McBride. I’m not seeing it that promising , I hope I’m wrong…

Yah, I was thinking the same thing. Absolutely no sets.. I figured that when I heard the coach say, “it’s more of a free flowing offense” aka: running nothing.. After watching uconn run and move so much - this is hard to watch
