There’s a reason I’m not mad at Jordin. She was still trying to facilitate, but Rhyne wanted it to be the Rhyne and Allisha show. She did this all second half, leaving Lish forcing tough shots instead of letting Jordin find teammates with an advantage like she’s done all playoffs
There’s a reason Rhyne Howard has never won an NCAA national title or WNBA championship. Meanwhile, the fourth option is looking inward, focused on improving despite being the best player on the floor tonight, before ATL’s guards (ESPECIALLY Rhyne) decided to ice her out.

As long as Karl wants to lose this way this it's going to be an uphill battle for them.
Karl Smesko has to decide if he wants to be a championship coach or not. That's the ultimate battle.

Angel doesn’t have third or fourth option responsibilities and accountability. They’re treating her like the franchise player so I’mma need everyone to make up their goddamn minds.

Did I expect to go 2-0 vs the Valks at home? Absolutely not. But to have the lead and fold in the 4th because you want to be selfish, not make any cuts/good ball movement, not involve Angel and then barely utilize your bench that is Malpractice. Do that again Dream and it’s Over.

Lucky for Karl it's a 7-game series, he still has a chance to change his AAU ways.
But man, the advantage is with Angel and Lish attacking on offense. Let Rhyne give you what she can give you. And JC will definitely have her moments.
And get Madina in these games, I don't care if she only plays 2 minutes.

Feeling really justified in dragging Karl Smesko’s coaching ability all season because I could see this disaster class coming from a mile away.
Angel Reese was fucking WIDE open, and 23/349 FG Rhyne Howard passes it to Broken Finger Alisha Gray for a wild ass three.
I knew this would be a LONG game when everyone but Angel came out timid. She kept ATL in it through halftime, only for Karl to let his guards play a 3-man game and ICE her out completely. No balance, no adjustments. The Dream have NO chance in these Finals playing like this.
