There is no doubt the Atlanta Dream is an improved team as they stand at 3-3 on the season and are already 2-1 at home. It took the Dream 22 games to get their third win a year ago, and finished with just four. The addition of Chimique Holdsclaw has made a big difference as she is averaging 14 ppg and five boards, as well as the addition of Sancho Lyttle averaging 15 ppg and 8rpg. That is 30 ppg and 14 rpg that wasn't around last year for the dream. The Chicago Sky had a nice three game run, but all those games were on their homecourt and they are yet to find the win column on the road where they stand 0-3. It isn't just the losses on the road by the Sky, it is the fact they have been completely manhandled. They have lost by an average of 19 ppg. The Dream has made tremendous progress with key additions leading the charge, and I'll back them in this one.
