The Chicago Sky went 0-2 on Thursday after another embarrassing loss. 

Angel Reese and Co. went up against the defending champions, the New York Liberty, at Wintrust Arena in the Sky's first home game of the new season. Chicago proved no match to the Liberty, who dominated the contest en route to a 99-74 win. 

This 25-point loss follows Chicago's 93-58 loss to Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever in their season opener, which now has the Sky losing by a total of 60 points in their first two games of the campaign. 

Reese had a forgettable outing against New York, finishing with two points on 0-of-8 shooting and five turnovers in 27 minutes of play. The former LSU superstar was able to register 12 rebounds and three steals in the game, but she also went 2-of-6 from the charity stripe.

Fans wasted no time criticizing Reese after another humiliating loss for Chicago. 

"I didn’t want to put too much light on people talking about whether or not she was really training this offseason. But this start does not put those doubts to bed. From all the podcast and IG posts shawty may have been busy doing other things," a comment on X read. 

"Goodness gracious" said another. 

"Never put her near [Caitlin Clark] in a conversation ever again," declared a user. 

"I don’t know if you understand how bad you gotta be to be setting records for how bad you are in the WNBA," pointed out a reader. 

"Horrendous offensively to start the year," another said

"Im disgusted," a reaction read. 

Reese and the Sky will need to pick themselves up quickly with another game coming up. This comes in the form of a road matchup against the Los Angeles Sparks on Sunday. 

It has been a disastrous start to the season for the Sky, and they are certainly in dire need of a statement win.
