Message: [QUOTE="psconn, post: 3275774, member: 293"] What an amazing first two games! I'm sure no one saw this coming; I certainly didn't. The atmosphere in the Arena has been wild... so much fun. Tonight's game in a nutshell: [B]Sun 46 rebounds, 16 offensive; Sparks 24 rebounds, 4 offensive[/B] AND the Sun have Alyssa Thomas and the Sparks don't. A couple words on AT: she played 76 minutes in the two games. She took her first break of the [U]series[/U] tonight with about 4 minutes to go. This is a woman with two severely damaged shoulders (torn labrum) who does not shoot outside 8 feet, yet she is a powerful rebounder, she drives the Sun's offense up court like a runaway train, she dishes like a point guard, and at 6'2" she Ds-up the best forwards in the league (Charles, Parker, Della Donne, Stewart, etc.). Every opponent knows just what she's going to do and only a few time has a team been able to stop her. Check out the sequence in the first semi-final on Tuesday @2:10 in the 2nd quarter... pure athleticism and hustle. Despite all the good vibes, we know the Sun just held serve. They have not been great on the road and there's a LONG way to go. [/QUOTE]
