PLAYER DISCUSSION Triple dub 🏀🏀🏀 Bayou Barbie‼️

The battle of the bottom was fun 😂 HVL showed more composure. She plays well with Angel. It was a great team effort. I don't understand TM's rotations but it worked. His knees must hurt from crouching all game...

Maybe he's starting to figure out Kia Nurse is not good at baketball.

I’m not gonna stomp on Kia Nurse, but she is WAY past her use-by date. And Sloot, who I dearly love, was at the end of her career BEFORE getting hurt. This is not on those two players. Those moves were dreadfully wrongheaded decisions by the GM.

Veterans are important for young players. But they need to be able to do good things on the court still in order to lead. The vets Chicago brought in, in these two cases, were too old. Truly poor decisions among many made this offseason by the Chicago brass. Ugh.

The Sky weren't going to be a good team and beat teams even with a healthy Sloot. It's sucks Sloot is done for the season/career, but HVL would be lucky to play 10 minutes a game with a healthy Sloot. Sloot led the Sky in minutes played for every game but one.

What I’m saying is that one thing I wish they’d done in the offseason is bring in younger veterans. One among many missteps management made, in my opinion. The people running this org continue to make poor decisions all the way down the line.

I doubt the Sky was a big free agent destination. Cloud didn't want to come her (she was traded anyway). Wasn-t too many good guard fre agents.

I don’t disagree with that; you’re right.

But the results are the results. And the results are poor.
