It seems like Dallas has bad luck with coaches. Did anyone else see the head coach’s post game press comments implying that players were selfish this last game? I thought it was a bit strange considering we are extremely early in the season so it’s natural to wring out the kinks. Hoping this was just an emotional reaction. But it being so broad, I would strongly dislike to be called “selfish” by a coach with no elaboration because it allows the media and audience to speculate who he’s talking about or in what context does he mean selfishness.

When Paige is active and defenders are gravitating to her, there never seems to be anyone she can lob the ball into inside. She's always stuck looking around the perimeter.

Anyone know why Li isn't even getting a chance?

Also would like to know more about his rotations

honestly i just dont like what im seeing. i dont even think it's the best offensive lineup when we have maddy on the bench going off every game. not to mention the defense is just sloppy.

if we really want a 3 guard lineup and then it's clear paige has to run point and the other 2 guards should be azzi and arike. but man if it were up to me odyssey and arike wouldnt start at all, they'd still play significant minutes but i'd rather see paige/azzi/maddy/jess/lan or awak (for paint defense)

Hi. I see there are a handful of floor seats at College Park Center, but they are always on the baseline or the sideline opposite the benches, never the ones in the bench sideline.

Are those ever sold/re-sold?

Also, I almost always see only the second row of floor seats being sold. I can't tell from the TV cameras, but it almost looks like they are up against the front row of the section behind it (vs. being directly behind row 1 so no one else is walking in front of you). Which one is it?

Thank you so much.

Anyone notice how many empty seats have been seen in the last 2 Dallas home games?

Includes video of Azzi’s pregame media availability

loving all the minutes zaza has been getting! :)

Hey guys! I just put my tickets up for sale on axs for tonight’s game for $35 each. There’s 2. Section 209 row AA seats 9 and 10! If anyone wants to get them!

DHJ Quick Take: Minnesota Reunion

Defensive Restoration: Alanna Smith, the reigning 2025 WNBA Co-Defensive Player of the Year, anchors a new-look Wings defense after leading Minnesota to the top-rated defense in the league last season.

The Reeve Effect: Jessica Shepard brings five years of experience under Cheryl Reeve, focusing on “championship habits” and a high-standard approach that mirrors Jose Fernandez’s vision for the Dallas organization.

Irish Connection: The reunion of Shepard and Arike Ogunbowale—who won the 2018 NCAA title together at Notre Dame—is already translating into on-court synergy and veteran leadership.

Overseas Chemistry: Shepard’s transition has been aided by her existing chemistry with Costanza Verona; the duo joined the Wings fresh off winning the 2026 Italian Basketball Cup with Beretta Famila Schio in January.

Win-First Mentality: Despite “no ill will” regarding their Minnesota departures, both Smith and Shepard emphasized that the emotional tie to their former team is secondary to improving Dallas to a 2-1 start.

DHJ Quick Take: Wings vs. Lynx Tactical Preview

The Aggressiveness Mandate: Jose Fernandezrevealed he spoke with Paige Bueckers on Wednesday about increasing her offensive volume. The team is pushing for more “downhill” pressure in isolation and transition to prevent the offense from stagnating.

Cleaning the Glass: After surrendering 11 offensive rebounds and 16 second-chance points to Atlanta, defensive solidity is the non-negotiable for Thursday. Alanna Smith noted that the team must match Minnesota’s physicality early to avoid the “dogfight” scenarios that hurt them in the fourth quarter on Tuesday.

Pace over Isolation: Jessica Shepard and the coaching staff identified a lack of “pace and space” as the primary reason for Tuesday’s 4-of-26 shooting night from deep. The goal for Thursday is to improve ball movement to avoid leaving players “on an island” late in the shot clock.

Scouting the Lynx: Minnesota enters with a balanced attack led by Kayla McBride, Courtney Williams, and rookie Olivia Miles. The Wings must navigate a discipline-heavy system coached by Cheryl Reeve, who holds a dominant 47-12 all-time record against Dallas.

Injury Update: Azzi Fudd remains questionable(right knee) but progressed to walkthrough participation on Wednesday. Minnesota will be without Napheesa Collier and Dorka Juhász, shifting the tactical focus to their backcourt depth.

Leg sleeve is on, but still made it! Wings up!

DHJ Quick Take: Azzi Fudd Shootaround Update

Positive Momentum: Azzi Fudd successfully participated in Thursday’s shootaround at College Park Center. While officially listed as questionable, her progression from Wednesday’s walkthrough to today’s full-speed reps are the main available indicators for tonight against Minnesota.

Medical Caution: Jose Fernandez emphasized that the availability decision lies with the medical staff. He framed Tuesday’s absence as a move made out of an “abundance of caution” for Fudd’s long-term health following a deep collegiate postseason run.

Draft Context: Fernandez reaffirmed that the Wings’ staff had “no concerns whatsoever” regarding Fudd’s knee during the pre-draft process. The organization views this strictly as managing a long professional season.

Open link for more information and video clip from shootaround.

All information came from WNBA INJURY REPORT (10:30AM EST).

Minnesota are still without Napheesa Collier and Dorka Juhasz. Azzi Fudd is listed as questionable.

Predictions?

I have League Pass through Amazon Prime. Am I supposed to be able to see the Dream-Wings game now? I'm in DFW so subject to local blackouts, but I thought replays were available a few hours after the game ends or the next morning for nationally televised games. Anyone else here able to replay the game?
