Sun - Painful Loss in Dallas

[psconn]

JJ foul trouble, missed opportunities, too many OREBs allowed. Then there's 62% foul shooting. This is the classic Sun problem.... who is the cold-blooded superstar closer who would have put this game away?

Despite all that, a 1 point loss to a tough team on the road.

Arguably the best team in the league is up next, in their place, for the top record in the league.

The Sun's starting wing has scored 2 points in 35 minutes on the current road trip (2 losses). Stricklen does one thing well on the court: shoot 3s. Otherwise, she's a defensive liability and even more so this year because of the added weight she's carrying around.

It should be JJ now that Chiney is gone but as you said she was in foul trouble.

I was excited for Stricklen when she hit 7 threes early in the season. She does look heavier and plays poor defense when she's in. Her size on the wing could make her an excellent passer, but she didn't do that even in college.
I think the Suns are in trouble if Alyssa Thomas is your first scoring option...She's a great athlete but can't shoot. Somebody needs to build a wall and stop her.

Heh heh...Megan showed flashes of what she will be like when they figure out how to use her. She could easily lead the league in scoring.
As it is Dallas is shaping up to be a contender. Izzy's playing solid center, Anrike is adjusting to the league, Thornton has been leading the team and the rest are contributing. Stevens really should've stayed that extra year to learn more from Geno & co. The team really looks loaded.
