If you aren't at this game...well, WHY AREN'T YOU?
No, just kidding. Let's beat these Chicagoans and get our fifth straight win!

Well, you see, it's like this. I was driving down I-80 on my way to O'Hare to catch a flight down, and this 18-wheeler jackknifed right in front of me. I was following too close for conditions (rain), couldn't stop in time, and crashed into it. I died instantly. Really, I don't think The Dream should have any real problem tonight. Chen Nan might be the biggest problem, because she's pretty slick for the short period of time she's been in the league. She just seems to know where to go and what to do. I'm waiting for a game up here, but if they knew that I was a Dream fan, they probably wouldn't let me in The Pavilion. Go Dream!

Because they just got slapped by Indiana. Yes, Indiana was a better team, but Chicago is going to be on a down.
The Dream on the other hand, whacked NY after being o-fer. That's going to be a plus for their intensity. We're rolling.
I call Chen Nan a problem because she plays more by instinct than anything else at this point. She just gets where she needs to be, and that's hard to defend.

I guess I'm a pessimist, but I share Jaye's worries on this one. Our strength is inside, but CHI has Fowles and Chen and DuPree in there. Like he says, they match up about as well as any team in the league.
And Perkins has indeed given us fits.
It's not that they're a better team than the Dream, but that they match up well.
But that very point gives some hope. This one could be up to the bench, and when your bench includes the likes of Angel and Ivory and Snow (if she plays well tonight), I think that gives any team an edge.

Two quick fouls for Lehning, and Miller is in for her.

#1 fan, I think you would agree that that 2nd foul on Lehning was a phantom foul....absolutely no contact. Lehning's energy has nothing to do with it....it's what she brings to every game and why she's starting. The fouls seem to all be going Chicago's way at present.
