Paige nails a 3!!

Pretty depressing...

Paige finally gets offense going, but still has just 9. I think this would be her first single-figure game this season.

Nope, no shot... 90-81.

Many of us thought this season in Dallas would be bad, but did anyone think it would be this bad? Paige follows up a 44 point performance with an 11 point game, then a 9 point game. But worse, they lose to an expansion team that is now 19-18, fighting for a playoff spot. Meanwhile, Dallas is 9-29, eliminated from the playoffs.

Terrible coach, the most player turnover in the history of basketball, very dumb owner, a bunch of players, not a team ...um, let's see, I guess that's enough.

The announcers stated that Paiges passes were to slow to her teamates after she was double teamed and the defense was able to recover and cover there man. Also teammates do not have a high BB IQ which is why the team plays so poorly on defense and offense.

Actually, it seemed like Paige would get single coverage for a second or two, which would quickly morph into a double and triple team (2 in front of her and 1 behind her first when she try to retreat and regroup).
Obviously, she had a bad shooting game, but under the circumstances (between coverage on her and being surrounded by inept shooters and teammates not playing intelligently or with any sense of anything besides themselves), the 9 assists with only 1 turnover is pretty remarkable.
Contrast that with Burton (who played brilliantly), but was surrounded by gifted shooters on a team that played as a team and only had to contend with Dallas' "defense."

That's why you can't double A.T. or C.C. because if you do they pass so well they find the open player for a layup or a wide open three
Paige is a good passer but not an elite one

Paige is gassed. This season needs to end for the Wings.

I would say Paige IS an elite passer. I think her issue this year is a disorganized team. To make good passes she needs to know where her teammates will be and when they’ll cut. It’s been clear to me from the beginning of the season that the team has little discipline on offense or defense. I’d hoped it would get better with time, but the combination of turnover on the team and a coach of questionable ability has put that possibility to rest.

Seriously? On a good team, where everyone passed the ball and cut, Paige was 2nd in the nation in A/TO ratio with a remarkable 3.52. Surround her with more experienced players who understand ball and player movement better than the inexperienced cast of characters she currently plays with, and her assist numbers in the W, which are very good, would be considerably better.

I don't think you've been paying attention. Paige may be the best passer in the W. Often she has no one to pass to to accomplish anything.

I wouldn't waste time responding to Browns on this forum. He is obviously a devoted CC fan whose prime purpose being on this forum and this specific Paige's Wings Page thread is no matter what stat is referenced to continually contrast Paige in a negative light while promoting CC even when the "facts" or 'stats" he states are wrong or at best misleading. Get's tiresome. I think the most appropriate reaction to his posts is no reaction. Best to just ignore him completely.

If the ownership has any desire in wanting to make the Wings at least a strong competitor in the W then they must seriously consider starting over. It ain't working and won't as long as this team is managed and coached the way it is. The Wings despite the brave post-game comments by the players and the coach is not a team but instead a loosely and badly formed bunch of basketball players who don't play team basketball on offense or defense. It's simply dreadful to watch how Paige must feel game after game when the Wings just can't get it together. Enough Old Willie. You're beating a dead horse.
