Welcome to Sky Scope, Chicago Sky fans. In this series of postgame pieces, I’ll be zooming in on the team’s specific trends, tactics, schemes, and player development, among many other things. This will essentially be a compilation of my eye test-driven on-court insights, supported by stats, from a lens of X’s and O’s. Let’s put their past weekend slate under…
The Chicago Sky open the 2023 WNBA season with consecutive road wins. Is it a surprise to the rest of the league, or is the team we should have expected? Stephen Garner (Nuts and Bolts Sports) and Katy Duffy (Stadium, NBC Sports) to discuss the weekend’s wins, the rest of the WNBA action and the Draft Kings Pick of the…

“Messiness” was the Connecticut Sun’s paraphrased game plan revealed by head coach Curt Miller post-game on Wednesday. Sunday’s matinee Game 3 matchup between the Sun and Chicago Sky contained a mess that was perhaps outside the scope of Miller’s definition. The Sky overcame the Sun by a score of 76-72 – however, both teams played some rather discombobulated ball. The…
The Connecticut Sun overcame the Chicago Sky in Game 1 of the WNBA Semifinals on Sunday night. The Sky swept the Sun in the 2022 regular season. However, all games were victories with single-digit margins, this game included. This low-scoring affair saw the Sky looking rather unprepared for Connecticut’s defense. Plenty of defensive stops forced shot clock violations, robbing the…
We never really had a doubt, did we, Skytown? In an exhilarating winner-take-all Game 3, the Chicago Sky abruptly ended the New York Liberty’s 2022 season by a score of 90-72. This high-scoring affair included six Sky players scoring in double figures. One of the keys to this game was to take the sold-out crowd at Barclays Center in Brooklyn…
Truth, justice, and the fourth quarter. These are ideals the Sky try to uphold almost every day, but virtue is easier to describe than execute. In the first-ever postseason matchup between these two clubs, the Chicago Sky fell to the New York Liberty, 98-91. “This is playoff basketball,” Liberty head coach Sandy Brondello told reporters after the game. “We found…

“It was just one of those games,” Allie Quigley told reporters in a post-game conference on Tuesday evening. The Dallas Wings bested the Chicago Sky using consistent physicality to pull ahead. 16 turnovers foretold the Sky’s demise, along with a continuation of a recent three-point slump first noticeable in last Tuesday’s Commissioner’s Cup Final. The Wings were missing high-scoring guard…
