So glad the Sky is retaining Tyler Marsh. Excited to see them get a chance to revisit the vision next year.

For only the second time in her entire career, college or pro, Rickea will have the same coach two years in a row. And the Sky's confidence in her has not wavered

Rickea was really stung by Lynne Roberts saying she was traded away because of her lousy D. She Improved a lot on D last year with the Sparks, with the help of her favorite coach Latricia Trammell. Was off to a great start this year when injured And is now completely dedicated to it.

Now we just have to hope LT is back with the Sky next year, and will be unless she gets one of the open head coaching jobs. If LT does return, the whole vision and whole package set out last spring will be in place, hopefully healthier next year.

Sky also need Kamilla to get in great shape, Syd Taylor to continue to grow, a good young point guard to learn from Sloot, and a strong defense and rebounding power forward, which I'm afraid is just not Azura

Actually, the fever took a step back this year. Last year they won the Commissioners Cup and went to the finals. Without CC

I believe one of Boston Mitchell or Clark will not play for the Fever next year.

The most effective coaching decision Lynn Roberts ever made in Los Angeles was to insult Rickea’s defense. Sky fans should GoFundMe to purchase a truckload of flowers to send Roberts to thank her for making Jackson so determined to succeed in Chicago on both ends of the court.

Maybe yours are. He claimed in June that she was being traded based on apparently absolutely nothing, and I don't recall him having sources or breaking trade news anytime in at least the last 10 years if ever. He's just a talking head, if it were coming from someone like Alexa Philippou I would take it a lot more seriously and I have no idea what her politics are

And also for hooking Rickea up with LT. That’s when the defensive turnaround came. We all know RJ is not the easiest player to coach, but when she likes the coach, they really bond. And that appears to have happened with LT. Pretty sure that’s why Trammel was brought to the Sky last year and why I sure hope she’s back next year.

Click bait upon click bait. I never defended the veracity of Whitlock’s comments. Just trying to draw attention to your rage baiting. Pulling Alexa Phillipou as an example of journalistic integrity is hilarious! 🤣

If the Sparks now ex-coach flop orchestrated the Rickea trade, that might be the biggest self own in league history. Only a faulty ACL, kept the Sparks from looking like the biggest idiots since the Red Sox traded Babe Ruth to the Yankees.

Of all the bad calls frequently made or missed, this one irks me most. And it happens all the time, not just in this particular instance. Wilson's foot touches Boston's very incidentally and she falls down. Foul on Boston. Every time someone falls down it is not a trip and not a foul.

That foul call on Boston was flat out ref malpractice. Even though the Fever did not have an official challenge, the refs should have recognized they needed to go to the monitor to verify.

In regard to the Fever, you might be right about a pending trade. I think the more likely scenario is that White becomes the scapegoat. The Fever "fan base" has been at her throat all season.

The Fever may the most impossible coaching job in the W. The Fever fan base has, according to my personal AI system (TrustMeBroGPT), a 94% overlap with the Caitlin Clark Cult (I fought the strong urge to spell all that with Ks!!).

To keep the CCC happy, a coach can not design game plans to win games, the only acceptable goal is maximizing CC's stat line and if that happens to lead to a win, well, that is icing on the cult cake.

If you're not defending the veracity of what he says, then how is it "rage bait" to say that what he says isn't trustworthy? Philippou is an example of someone who has actual sources, unlike Whitlock, who has nothing but opinions and hot takes. Quit while you're behind
