The Unseen Bet That Could Change Everything: A Dream Like No Other

It hasn’t been the best WNBA season I’ve had, but it is still early. The thing about the WNBA that you don’t get with a ton of other leagues is that they play each other over and over again. There are something like 40 games for each team, and with so few teams, you’re facing the same teams constantly. That’s a good thing for data, but it also changes as some teams are better at making adjustments than others. Let’s see what team we can do in this game with the Sky taking on the Dream. 

Most of the conversation around the Chicago Sky revolves around Angel Reese and people hating her. I’ll be the first to tell you I don’t think she is as bad of a basketball player as people make it seem, but she also isn’t as good of a player as some people want you to believe she is. I’ve met her a couple of times and she actually is a really nice person. Her persona has a bit of arrogance around her, but so do a lot of athletes. She really isn’t like that when the cameras and microphones aren’t locked in on her. The biggest problem on this team isn’t Reese. It seems that they have no real plan for the team. Their point guard, Courtney Vandersloot, just tore her ACL, so now they have no point guard. They have some veterans on the club, but no real superstar. They didn’t even really draft a difference maker for the team. I was thinking that Hailey Van Lith was going to get a bit more run, but she hasn’t had much impact or really opportunity. At just 2-6, it does feel like they should be better than they are, and some of that is certainly game planning.
