Message: [QUOTE="Roger G, post: 2207989, member: 7083"] They're young. They're growing. They're coming up short, but the direction seems to be there. It is fun to watch right now and it's going to get better. It was another exciting game. If Jasmine Thomas had just taken one less dribble and elevated from behind Alyssa Thomas, they might have won. But I will admit one thing: having seen Danielle Adams a couple of times. I see what you mean by her not being able to keep up. She has put on a ton of weight since she last played in the W. She is a defensive liability. Unless she loses fifty pounds or so, she won't be able to keep up. I hadn't seen her. Great shooter, but minus 8 last night in three minutes. Better to pull an adequate player off the waiver wire. As for the foul disparity, the savvy of the veteran Lynx and the inexperience of the Sun showed through. The referees were a little wise to a couple of the moves of the Lynx and didn't call some of them, Renee pretending she got pulled, Jia Perkins pretending she got tripped, but the veteran teams are constantly making it look like they are getting fouled. It's part of the art of basketball that hopefully our women will improve at. But of course, we have to get better at getting the ball inside to create contact too. [/QUOTE]
