Coach Talk

Paladins

Elena Delle Donne.
There really is still a boatload of time left to turn this season around. These upcoming opponents might look at your record and foolishly believe they've got an easy matchup. Lull them into a sense of complacency and hit 'em with the strongest possible lineups... they won't see it coming! Keep pushing forward, Elena Delle Donne.!
