While the Minnesota Lynx lead the way, the rest of the WNBA playoff race is as compelling as ever. Naturally, No Cap Space has some thoughts about the week in review.
The rewriting of history is crazy (not just from you guys, it’s a common narrative), Dallas made tons of off season moves to build around Paige, Indiana made none to build around Caitlin. Even if you want to say guard/forward is more valuable than guard/guard, should there be THIS much of a gap? I think it’s possible to say Paige is in a bad situation, but also acknowledge Caitlin’s play style does get more production out of those around her, due to her playmaking and gravity.
I would agree on the latter regarding play style. At the same time, I think Koclanes is a much worse coach than Sides. However much we think Christie limited Caitlin, Chris' entire system seems to be oriented around taking the teeth out of his best players.
Yeah Sides I guess can be given credit for at least just letting CC and AB run the show at least towards the end of the season, though I’m sure they would’ve preferred a bit more guidance, haha
