For weeks, the Sky haven’t looked like the fiery, defensive-minded team that started the WNBA season 5-3.
But that’s what could happen after the dust settles on a new season. Teams’ identities fall into place while others’ fall apart, and the Sky have joined the latter group. It’s not just that they have a five-game losing streak going back to June 9. It’s the way they’re losing games. They’ve shown stretches of diminished effort and energy that signals Sky coach/general manager James Wade’s rebuilt roster has bigger issues than its lack of cohesion and continuity.
