Nicole Obrien+FollowDream’s Shocking Loss: Time for Paopao?Wow, Dream fans—after that 84-76 upset by the Sun, it’s clear something’s off. Even with Griner and Canada back, Atlanta couldn’t stop Marina Mabrey’s 34-point explosion. Canada’s defense was solid, but her offense struggled, and the chemistry just isn’t there yet. With fans buzzing about rookie Te-Hina Paopao’s shooting, is it time for Coach Smesko to shake up the rotation? Let’s see if more Paopao minutes can spark a turnaround against the Fever! #AtlantaDream #WNBA #TeHinaPaopao #Sports10Share
Brian Gaines+FollowAshley Joens Waived After Facing ClarkTough break for Ashley Joens—right after her best preseason showing against Caitlin Clark and the Fever, the Dream cut her from the roster. Joens, who’s bounced around the league since her Iowa State days, put up 5 points in limited minutes but it wasn’t enough to secure her spot. Meanwhile, Clark’s Fever look strong at 3-0, and Griner sat most of the game for rest. Did Atlanta make the right call letting Joens go after a solid performance? #WNBA #AtlantaDream #CaitlinClark #AshleyJoens #IndianaFever #Sports197Share
