Message: [QUOTE="azfan, post: 5322064, member: 7748"] Winning on the road is hard. Becky in her sixth consecutive win goes into the valley of the Sun and in her match against the million dollar coach and former presumptive COY came out on top. For the million dollar coach his big three plus Bonner plus three point shooting wasn't enough against the Aces. In a preview of what may well be the 4/5 game Wilson and crew were just too much for the Merc. In a post anticipating this matchup I indicated the pressure was squarely on Nate and crew and at home before a crowd that was trying everything to help they were unable to respond to the pressure. Four time COY Cheryl Reeves indicates that it's key to protect the home court. Nate was unable to do this.As the season comes to an end there will be other opportunities for Nate to show whether or not he can do either a hard thing or protect the home court. The rematch will be in Vegas Thursday at the end of a three-game road trip that begins with Seattle goes to Golden State and I'm wondering who has more pressure and how they will react to that pressure. While Nate navigates the three game road trip the Aces are home against the Wing and Dream so may have an eight-game winning streak when the Merc hit Sin City Excellent coaches have their team peaking right before the playoffs. Becky seems to be doing that. Nate well....... [/QUOTE]
