Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2823977, member: 5798"] [B]Griner can't "dominate" if they don't give her the ball. [/B]Griner only took 12 shots (and was double teamed every time she got the ball), making 6. Bonner and Taurasi took 35 shots collectively. They weren't looking for Griner on the block. The team only took 65 shots. Bonner and Dee got 21 of the team's 33 rebounds. Griner had 4. The shots she changed and the intimidation factor she created did not show up in the box score. The numbers may not indicate she came to play, her teammates would beg to differ. Can she do better, yes. No argument there. Phoenix HC Sandy Brondello has to insist that Griner get more touches. Kiah Stokes didn't score when she was in the game because they didn't give her the ball. They didn't look for her, and they weren't told to. You can demand the ball all you want. If they don't give it to you, then what?!? BTW..........No way Phoenix wins without Griner. ;) I hear what you are saying, BUT......................when Dee is in rhythm and bringing the ball down court, comes to a jump stop, and is stroking 3's effortlessly (and they go in), she's not looking for Griner down low!!! Neither is Bonner. Again..........Bonner and Dee = 35 FGA combined. Head bang [/QUOTE]
