Maddie having some good games plus she and Paige seem to have established a good relationship (maybe it's that BE background) that carries over to the floor. Let's see what happens the rest of the season and next season. Anyway, I think the Wings management aware of what's needed and may yet turn this team into a competitor next year. Listening to Paige and Maddie in the Atlanta Dream post-game certainly seems that they are determined to look ahead and not behind.
Again a 100 point performance by the Wing d - can't spell Dallas without a L.
Sooooo, while looking ahead is the party line, I would, if a Dallas fan, be REALLY concerned about the lack of effort, scheme, performance and attention to defense. Perhaps the current coach will join Lincoln Riley on the not seat, and the video master does not have a buy out.

They had only 8 available players last night
None who played defense. In contrast, the Liberty, down 3 starters did.
Not to pile on, but . . . .
Dallas does 1 for August. They end the month with consecutive 100 point "efforts" on defense. 2 weeks ago they surrender 106 points in Vegas and what doesn't happen in Vegas, unfortunately, does not stay in Vegas.
The collapse in any semblance of defense is remarkable with the embarrassing loss of 35 points at home underscoring the epic lack of defense. There may may any number of "reasons" for this abysmal performance, but no excuse.

It's not a surprise that Paige's assist numbers have increased since Matty returned. She's the only reliable shooter to cash in on Paige's dimes.
As for last night's game, every time Paige (or another Wings player) drove near the basket, they got double teamed and pounded (with rarely a foul call). When an ATL player drove, they remained mostly untouched.
This team needs lots of help!
At least CW got her first WNBA hoop. And Paige's double/double, of course.

But how many of the previous game’s New York and Dallas rosters — in proportion to available players — are on (or recently on) 7-day/ hardship contracts? (New York vs. Dallas)
Dallas is possibly at the best possible scenario for the league-wide reset in 2026. Does it really matter if they get artistic points in the last meaningless games of 2025?
