I don’t believe the Sky is mathematically eliminated from the playoffs yet, but it is going to be an uphill struggle to make the playoffs. Can they do it? What will it take?
- Free throws – We have had too many games where our lack of making the free throws has hurt.
- Physical play – At the beginning of the year, the Sky looked much more physical under the basket than they do now. I’m not sure what happened. I haven’t gone back and looked at rebounding statistics and compared games, but lately it seems they aren’t in position to rebound.
- Someone to get hot at the other Forward position – Candice is great as the one forward. The other forward position just seems to be absent. No one seems to be a really consistent scorer from that position, and they aren’t really rebounding either.
- Play the whole game – Just seems like the focus gets lost in the third and/or fourth quarter. I thought the overtime wins would have taught the Sky how to close out the game, but they don’t seem to be there quite yet.
We may not make the playoffs, but I’m a Chicago sports fan, so that’s nothing new in this city. For a new team, the Sky hasn’t looked bad. And if we don’t make the playoffs, “There’s always next year.”
