   ​‘No One Is Using Logic,’ ‘How Much More Seriously Can They Be Taken?’ — WNBA Analyst Blasts Dream’s Statement Amid Finals Venue DramaThe Atlanta Dream seemed on the verge of capturing their first WNBA championship nearly a week ago, but things have changed quickly. The Golden State Valkyries have the momentum heading into Game 6 of the WNBA Finals, while the Dream are fighting to save their season.As the Dream’s scheduling controversy continues to make headlines, a league analyst addressed the situation.WNBA Analyst Calls Out Dream Over Scheduling ControversyThe Dream issued a statement expressing unhappiness at the 12:30 p.m. local start time for Game 6, and WNBA analyst Robin Lundberg believes Dream ownership isn’t thinking logically.In a video on X captioned “No one is using logic when discussing the Atlanta Dream WNBA Finals schedule situation,” Lundberg said, “The idea that the WNBA Finals should be on the bigger stage, in the big arena, and in primetime, I agree with. But there’s the ideological, and there’s the logical, and there’s the logistics.”Lundberg continued, “Here’s the problem: State Farm Arena is not the Dream’s Arena; that’s not where they play. Their home arena is Gateway. And why is it the Atlanta Hawks’ problem? And you want them to be taken seriously … how much more seriously can they be taken? The WNBA Finals, the schedule has been moved twice to accommodate.”Lundberg addressed one of the biggest issues regarding the Dream’s WNBA Finals scheduling controversy: They have a completely separate ownership group from the Hawks.The analyst argued the Hawks aren’t obligated to accommodate the Dream, noting they’ve already adjusted their home schedule to help make the Finals games at State Farm Arena possible.The Dream’s home arena, Gateway Center, has a capacity of less than 4,000 fans, which isn’t ideal for WNBA Finals competition.The Dream have played all five of their home playoff games at State Farm Arena. Their first three home playoff games at State Farm Arena averaged fewer than 10,000 fans, but Games 3 and 4 of the Finals sold out the roughly 17,000-seat arena.Lundberg suggests the Hawks have already done their part to ensure Dream fans enjoy a great Finals experience. He also questioned why there hasn’t been more media attention on how the early Game 6 start time impacts Valkyries fans on the West Coast, with the game starting at 9:30 a.m. local time.While the WNBA world continues to address the scheduling controversy, both teams said they are simply focused on the game. Despite the less-than-ideal early start time, the Dream announced Game 6 is sold out as they look to force a deciding Game 7.MORE: ‘Very Disappointing,’ ‘I Thought She Matured’ — ESPN Legend Torches Angel Reese Over Officiating Criticism in WNBA FinalsAngel Reese was projected to be Finals MVP just a couple of games ago but struggled in Games 4 and 5.
