for me: Hey kids, they’re not all like this, I promise
After seven games alternating wins and losses, this was a clear chance for the Liberty to finally string two victories together after they fought off Atlanta on Tuesday night. The Sky have been poor lately, and only have two road wins for the season (and those were in Tulsa and Washington). New York did Chicago a favour with that win over the Dream, keeping the Sky just barely in the fourth and final playoff spot in the East. At some point, Chicago are going to have to win some games themselves to cling on to that position.
This. Was. Ugly. Not even going to try to gloss this one up. If you want to be decidedly generous, you could give credit to the defenses. Both teams play good defense in general, but both teams were helping each other out with some pedestrian offense this afternoon.

For the second year in a row, Kara Braxton has found herself packing her bags just before the WNBA trade deadline. Less than 12 months ago she was brought in by Phoenix in the hope that she’d be the necessary final piece to win another championship, at the expense of a first-round draft pick. This time, they’ve given her away for the very last player on the end of the New York Liberty bench. What a difference a year makes.
