Hard to say. Williams is a great player but I’m not sure if she’ll many shots playing with Loyd/SDS/Nneka. This team should be a serious title contender with all of their talent but Quinn isn’t keeping Loyd in check with the volume shooting and I don’t think they’re nearly as good as they could be.
I agree. Quinn is always going to put a lower ceiling on whatever team she is coaching. On paper they should be the second best team in the league imo, at least with the way The Aces are playing right now.
Bad coach and two ball dependent guards, a bad situation for Gabby. The Liberty would have been a good fit.
The fact she chose Seattle seems to indicate she trusts Coach Quinn more than most of the posters on this board.
She’d be a good fit for Laney. Once Laney is back though, I’d expect her to beat out Gabby for the spot considering how well she’s played this year.
Neck soreness.
Yes, and then you add in the front court of Thomas, Jones and Bonner -- not one shrinking violet there, either -- and these are the Foxhole Sisters. There was a string of traditional three-pt. foul calls at the end of the game and not one Sun missed the opportunity to make a comment to whatever ref was nearby.

Curt Miller, the former Sun Coach, showed his possible influence on said feistiness by running on the court with two minutes left to protest a call and got tossed. Rowdy night in Boston.
I really enjoyed that game too. The Liberty have so much quality depth to go along with their All-star starters. The championship trophy is starting to look like it is theirs to lose.
Well.... If Atlanta dreamin to pass Sky it starts at home against a mediocre road team. This is going to be a very interesting game as Phoenix did make an effort to improve the roster with the signing of Billings(for 7 days at least I guess). To my way of thinking I'm looking at Mo and Naz as the difference makers in this game. I'm assuming of course that BG has some interest and that the travel to Atlanta doesn't tire her too much.
Yea hopefully they can get fully healthy but it has been great to see them not lose a beat as starters go out. No Sloot, no problem. No Stewie, no problem. No Laney, no problem. No Sabrina, no problem. No Leo, No problem. Not sure any other team could lose 3 players (Laney, Sab and Leo for most of the game) that have started multiple games and still win by such a comfortable margin. I do think they need to get healthy by the playoffs to win it all but they've been fun to watch this week.
Another coach that hasn't done as much with the talent she has had. Only 1 title with DT and Griner, plus had other stars with them.
I'm a SB fan. Aces were pretty solid last couple of years.
Will the Sun be viable stuck between New York and Boston (deja vu Whalers)?
I thought the place was hoppin' last night. However, Di'joni Carrington was p'oed at the WNBA for not promoting the game and (merely) having it on league pass only. When this game was scheduled, it could've had Cameron Brink and been a good enough top-liner, so I've got to lean with DC on this one. Bit of a misstep by WNBA who were probably taking their cue from major media players.
Need to find it but there also was a break down of teams with nationally broadcasted games. Was surprised Connecticut has 14 for this season, especially considering they are one of the stronger teams in the league.I thought the place was hoppin' last night.

Carrington rips WNBA for lack of Boston 'promo'
DiJonai Carrington called out the WNBA over what she felt was a lack of promotion for the Connecticut Sun's historic game in Boston's TD Garden.www.espn.com
Connecticut should definitely have more given their caliber, but they don’t have a ton of starpower in the media and their brand of ball isn’t always the most entertaining to watch. Wondering if those qualities played into it.
Storm in the first round followed by the Liberty in the semis of im not mistaken if playoffs were to start today.
