WNBA superstar Candace Parker returns to Chicago, marking the first time a Chicago pro basketball team makes a big time free agent signing. Parker joins a loaded Sky team featuring Diamond DeShields, Allie Quigley, and Courtney Vandersloot to give the high-scoring Sky offense a defensive anchor and passing big that has fans thinking they won't collapse in the playoffs this time and squander another superstar season.

Post here about your team, news, whatever the vile and disgusting Bill Laimbeer, who has inexplicably not been banned from professional sports, is up to, insane Sabrina Ionescu gifs, etc. We'll see if we get enough traffic to split into GDTs and N/V but the Sky game starts in 10 minutes and I'm going to start Parkerposting.

There's a lot of very fun ball movement. Is it always like this?

to be honest, i haven't watched a ton of sky games, but i know their reputation was a super fun offensive team that did not play a lot of defense

Aces are gonna look a lot better once Liz can run up and down the court again, but yeah, this game was over after seattle made like 13 straight field goals in the 2nd.

The WNBA is fun as hell. I've watched both of the Liberty games thus far because I am a big fan of Sabrina Ionescu and Didi Richards from their college days. Both games have been fun so far though they are sloppy.

I guess I am a Mystics fan but their first game did not inspire a lot of confidence - although they should be significantly better once everyone is back and playing.

I didn't get a chance to watch Sky vs. Sabrina battle, but are the Liberty legit? Parker didn't play though.

Parker's absence very noticeable these last two games, I hope she's back soon.

On the other hand Aari McDonald had a good game off the bench for Atlanta after a slow start in previous games. That was awesome to see

Yeah, it's rough watching any live WNBA games till the finals are over, but their league pass is like 15 dollars for every team. Great for replaying games during the day.
