The Chicago Sky’s season is spiraling out of control, and not even Angel Reese’s double-doubles can mask the stench of disaster. For the third straight game, the Sky found a way to embarrass themselves, this time in a 91-78 blowout loss to the injury-riddled Los Angeles Sparks. The box score says Reese had 13 points and 12 rebounds, but anyone who watched knows those numbers were as empty as the Wintrust Arena stands after the final buzzer.

Let’s be honest: Angel Reese’s double-doubles are not translating to wins. In fact, they never have. Stat lines don’t mean much when your team is getting run off the floor by a Sparks squad missing two starters. The Sky are now 0-3 to start the season, and their last win feels like ancient history—dating all the way back to September 8th of last year. While other young teams like the Indiana Fever are showing real fight against championship competition, Chicago looks utterly lost.

Reese’s 13 points came on 5-of-11 shooting, which looks decent until you realize she missed layup after layup, many of them right at the rim. Three of her made field goals came off offensive rebounds—meaning she was literally cleaning up her own misses and padding her stats in the process. Of her 12 rebounds, a good chunk came off her own bricks. That’s not production; that’s desperation.

Social media roasted Reese for the performance. One user summed up the mood: “Cooked that fraud.” Another pleaded, “Angel have some shame sister.” And it’s hard to blame them. The Sky aren’t just bad—they’re meme-level bad. Teammates were visibly frustrated as Reese forced up tough shots instead of making the simple play. During one painful sequence, you could see them calling for the ball, only to watch another layup clang off the rim.

This isn’t just one bad night, either. Reese went 0-for-8 in a previous game against New York and has made only one three-pointer in four games. The pattern is clear: her offensive game is limited, and the numbers she’s putting up are not helping her team win.

Meanwhile, Kelsey Plum put on a clinic for the Sparks, exposing every flaw in Chicago’s defense. Plum torched the Sky for 28 points on 9-of-18 shooting, including six three-pointers and eight assists. She controlled the game from start to finish, and, in a now-viral moment, drove right past Reese for a layup and hit her with the “too small” taunt—perhaps the most disrespectful gesture of the WNBA season so far. Even the league’s official social media accounts joined in the fun, amplifying the humiliation.

Plum’s performance wasn’t just showboating. She systematically destroyed Chicago’s defensive rotations, finding open shots and teammates every time the Sky tried to help. The crowd in Los Angeles went wild watching the veteran guard pick apart a Chicago team that looked like it had never practiced together.

The Sky’s problems run deeper than one player. Coaching decisions made no sense, with players running into each other and missing basic assignments. The team looks defeated before games even tip off. Body language is terrible, and nobody wants to take responsibility. Reese keeps putting up empty stats while the rest of the roster looks completely lost.

This loss was especially embarrassing given the Sparks’ injury woes. Los Angeles was missing Cameron Brink, their key sophomore who tore her ACL last year, and Rakia Jackson didn’t play. This was supposed to be a winnable game for Chicago. Instead, they got blown out by 13 points and never looked competitive.

Compare that to the Indiana Fever, who nearly upset the defending champion New York Liberty on the same night. Caitlin Clark put up 18 points, 10 assists, and five rebounds, and the Fever lost by just two points in a game that came down to the final seconds. That’s what real competition looks like. Clark’s leadership and fight under pressure are exactly what Chicago is missing.

Fever head coach Stephanie White called out the officiating after the game, pointing to a ridiculous 31 free throw discrepancy over their last few contests. But even amid controversy, Indiana is building something real. They’ve lost two games by a combined three points and look poised to compete with the league’s best.

Chicago, on the other hand, is the WNBA’s punchline. Their upcoming schedule is brutal, and analysts are already wondering if they’ll reach five wins this season. The coaching staff looks lost, the players look defeated, and the fans are openly calling the team trash on social media.

Angel Reese can keep posting double-doubles in blowout losses, but until those stats translate to wins, the hype means nothing. The gap between Chicago and the rest of the league is growing by the day, and unless something changes fast, the Sky will remain everyone’s favorite punching bag this season.
