SUN vs LIBERTY @ 11:00AM on CSN

[psconn]

Today's game is a big game for both going into the All-Star break. NY wants to stay above .500 at the break and the Sun only lead the Mercury by a half game in the standings. I suspect Sugar will try to start the 3-point contest early and the Sun's shooting from there has been off. The only thing better than beating New York is beating them in MSG.
GO SUN!!

The Sun are a little hyped up. Shots are a little long. But it's 35 all now, so the game starts from here.

 

[psconn]

Shooting continues to be a problem... 38% Sun, 51% Libs. Sun getting crushed on the boards 25 to 12 with Tina getting her 1st half dub-dub with 11 boards.

Boards and taking better shots. Simple game.

 

[psconn]

Adams and Banham in just as the Sun were showing a little run. Looks like a white flag... JJ, Jas, AT on the bench. I don't get it. This is winnable.

 

[psconn]

I don't want to be overly negative, but I don't get why we conceded this game.

Tina Charles: 28 points and 17 rebounds.

Ugh! Bad day for Sun. They are going to happen. At least the Mystics appear to be going down today too.

 

[psconn]

What a crappy way to go into the All-Star break. Strategically, staying in the top 4 is HUGE. I just don't get the early white flag.

 

[psconn]

Holy cow, attendance listed as 17,443. "Camp Day"... special pricing??

 

[Roger G]

And now the Mystics have had a miracle comeback. Ugh!

YAY! Great win for the Liberty. Tina with a monster day, Hartley now starting with a solid outing, and Kia was +18 while scoring 8 points and grabbing 6 boards in 23 minutes. She seems to be in a real dog fight with Kia Vaughn for minutes in the post.

Zauhi-B seems not only to have fallen off the depth chart, but when she's in, she plays desperate - chucking up one bad shot after another in the hopes of scoring some points. She's the opposite of "let the game come to you".

While I'm a CT Sun fan, I can't help but smile when Tina, Bria, and Kiah do well.

I saw their game on Sunday vs Washington. Her minutes were given at garbage time when the game was already decided. I never watched her play in college but I haven't seen her play to warrant the #2 pick in the draft.

Having watched her quite a bit since she came to the WNBA, you're right. She plays well at times, but remains a project,

Kiah also had 2 blocks in her 23 minutes.
