Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better

Mechelle on Atlanta's hot start:

Am I surprised by the Dream? Absolutely. Atlanta, in the days leading up to the start of this season, would have seemed at the very least in some disarray. It was made public that Chamique Holdsclaw had asked for a trade and wasn't going to report to the team.
