The Mercury are just a better team. The Fever didn't have quite enough to get all the way back. Mitchell balled out again. Lexi was good, too.

The Fever won the second half 40-31. They lost the game in the last few minutes of the first half.

The Liberty started the season 9-0. It's pretty shocking they now have 17 losses. They've had some injury problems, too, but even after getting Jones and Stewart back, and adding Meesseman, they've continued to lose.

There is absolutely no valid reason to bring Clark back this season.

It would take her a minimum of 3-5 games to get in a groove.

As a 7/8 seed...you're getting Lynx or Aces in 1st round.

This is just a lost season.

yeah, the Fever might have just 5 games left (3 regular season + 2 postseason)

Will the GS or MN coach win Coach of the Year?

Natalie Nakase. She's done a great job.

Full text of tweet:

Angel Reese hints she could potentially leave the Chicago Sky if things don’t pan out in Chicago

"I’m not settling for the same s— we did this year. We have to get good players. We have to get great players. ... However I can help to get the best here, that’s what I’m going to do this offseason… I’d like to be here for my career, but if things don’t pan out, obviously I might have to move in a different direction and do what’s best for me."

Full text of tweet:

Angel Reese’s teammates are reportedly unhappy with her direct attack on them and plan to confront her about her comments, per @FOS

Reese reportedly said she doesn’t believe her teammates, Rachel Banham or Hailey Van Lith, are capable of leading a playoff team.

She also questioned whether veteran point guard Courtney Vandersloot was capable of returning to form “at the age she’s at” after tearing her ACL.

Reese was also quoted multiple times as saying, “we need great players,” and said she wants Marsh to coach the team harder

THis. She's bought in to the narrative thats she's really good because of attempts last season to prop her up vs CC22. She works hard, but she's NOT skilled and she's not a great player. They have a new coach AND new roster and the same crap record. MAYBE she needs to look in the mirror.......

Chloe Bibby is done for the season, so the Fever have signed yet another player. Hall was with the Fever in pre-season and got dropped.
