Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 3672271, member: 6620"] Turner and Thomas both played 42:48 yesterday (as did Bonner), the most on their respective teams. Before going any further with this, I think all three gave great efforts overall and left virtually everything there, much like Boston and Toronto in their marathon. Can folks box out more? Sure, but sometimes match-ups don't come down to tallest vs tallest and oftentimes your opponent is not in front of you. Thomas and Bonner are both superb rebounders and Thomas has always been a great offensive rebounder: she's relentless and her movement (quick feet, spins) make her tough to keep track of. And Bonner has really long arms and often just snatches the ball even when she is boxed out. Turner, btw, has long arms, too. While only 6'3", she plays taller, particularly on defense. I'll choose to applaud all three efforts...and I have not even touched on DT and Sky yet. [/QUOTE]
