...a bit depressed. 84-76 OT loss... ugh. A very winnable game for the Sun, and with LA coming in next, it was as close to a must win as you can have in the 3rd game of the season. There was improvement to be seen but until Alex Bentley finds her shot again (24%; 6-31 in the last 2 games), or someone else displays a reliable 3-pt game, the kind of offense Coach Miller wants to see out there will be hard to find. Morgan had a few good plays as did Jones. Banham no so much... lots of zeros on the score sheet.
Another double-double for Kelsey, ho-hum. Alyssa lead the Sun scoring with 18. I love the intensity and athleticism she plays with - charging up the court like a runaway locomotive, strong, quick and determined. Attack, attack, attack. If I recall correctly, she was also either 2-2 or 2-3 from the mid-range... at least she's taking a few this year. Here I go again... if she ever develops a reliable outside game, she'll be playing in a bunch of all star games. One big roadblock to that is her very odd shooting motion. Shoots like a natural righty forced to shoot lefty. Not pretty.
One last note: Jasmine Thomas has a huge heart. Not the most talented in the league, but she leaves it all on the court every night. She's leading the Sun in minutes (34) and averages 11 pts., 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals per game.
I have to drown my sorrows in a Fudgesicle now.
