Phoenix vs Chicago

Phoenix cannot play perimeter defense and DT, Bonner, Dupree and Prahalis are a combined 9 of 38. Looks like they are going to be a perimeter team. BG seems to be the last option on offense.

Phoenix cut the deficit to 12 on a couple of 3s of which a few were donated by Bonner and Diana, and then appears to become deflated when Dee got that bogus call. Score back up to +20
 
Griner dunked - fans happy!

Edited to add on a nice dish by Charde
 
Penny Taylor will solve most of Phoenix's problems when she gets back - she's a legitimate point-forward who the team will be able to run the offense through.

The Mercury's other major problem, though, is that Corey Gaines can't coach.
 
Some nice plays by Phoenix, but still down by +20. Fowles is back in for the Sky

Was happy to see BG have a big second half (15 points, 7 rebounds, two dunks). That first quarter she was obviously a bit nervous. EDD had the advantage having played a WNBA game already. Phoenix needs to recognize who should be taking the most shots, and its not Bonner (25%) and Dupree (35%).

BG's shooting % was right on par with her NCAA % at 63.6%. Houston was also effective (3-4).

Didn't get to make it. No good seats were left when I looked. So I stayed home and tuned in. Super bummed.

You and your partner must have been pleased. Both EDD and CVS had great games.

This was Chicago first game. They had a preseason game, but so did Phoenix.

Not sure you can compare the Japan national team to a WNBA team. This was BG's first WNBA game.

I'm sure you didn't rub it in too much.

Agreed...until Prince darts for overseas play. Too bad she won't be around for the full season. Will she back back for the end of the season?
 
Does this mean that seats are being sold for the WNBA? That would be great news!
 
was fun to watch. The Sun play friday and saturday, I believe against the sky and lynx respectively. Looking forward to both games.

She will be back at the beginning of July. She will play against the Sun & Tulsa before leaving on the 4th.

What impresses me even more than EDD's shooting is her sense of calm. She looks like she was groomed for this moment. She and Prince are a dynamic duo.

Too bad Prince will be leaving us soon & things will fall apart

She enjoyed one of her dunks so much that she forgot to play defense on Fowles.

LOL. But she outplayed Fowles, an Olympian and veteran WNBA player. Those dunks were big for her because it establishes her aggression. After that really bad start she had a great second half. She will celebrate a bit less going forward.

I think I misread. She will be back with Chicago at the beginning of July? If so they are definitely a playoff team.

Except when she makes lazy fouls out of bad plays..

Yeah, if we are talking abut the same foul, it was sort of, "I don't feel like defending you so I'll just foul"
