Griner Has a Sprained Knee

Phoenix may be in for a loooong season if she is out for several weeks and Taylor can't return soon.

Damn. Hopefully she's back for the Tulsa game on the 16th. Cambage will most likely be back by then from her ankle injury. Get well soon BG.

Is Phoenix trying to tank another season to get a lottery pick??

they're trying to dump prahalis and draft sims lol j/k

 

[doggydaddy]

Can we stop raggin' on Phoenix about last year already?

And as you can see, the best player in the world, when she is playing like it, can carry Phoenix to plenty of wins.

 

[easttexastrash]

Maybe they need to trade BG since they won without her. Good to see the rest of the team step it up.

Like tonight, for instance.

Prahalis is slowly working her way into a lot of bench time. This was the DT I've been waiting to see. She took over again and Phoenix has sorely needed that. She needs to shoot 20 shots a game and get BG about 15. Bonner also looked better and scaled back to bad shot selection.

Can Phoenix play their style with BG? If they are going to she needs to shoot more quickly as well not to interrupt their flow. If she gets a look at a 15 footer she just needs to shoot it like the rest of the team does. I've watched her post moves and it seems like she has been told to slow down and use two or three power dribbles instead of just taking her shot.

I said - DT carrying the team to victory
He said - like tonight
You said -??????

 

[KnightBridgeAZ]

Enjoyed that. Speaks to what I said, they have not been playing their style.

Perhaps her judgement in games can be questioned, but Bonner is quality. Sammy, not so much.

 

[baggerbob]

This was also the first game that Phoenix rebounded the ball better then their opponent.

 

[easttexastrash]

Maybe watching a few games from the bench will be good for Griner to see how the offense should flow

Never a bad idea. But i have to admit i really thought Phx would be fighting it out for the top spot in the west. I think missing a true PG is causing more problems than I anticipated. Prahalis is not the answer...

I agree. Prahalis is just not going to be the solution to that position.

The Fever game was the first game that the team came out and really got after it on defense and also played with passion. If they continue to play like that they will be fine since they're only a game and a half out of first place. And i see no reason that BG can't fit into that offense considering how well she can run the floor.

 

[Icebear]

She never was going to be the solution. She wasn't at Ohio State.

Sammy P says "Shhhhhhhhhh!"

In my opinion Pheonix is the worst team in the league on their choices of trades and picking up players.
