Message: [QUOTE="azfan, post: 5326444, member: 7748"] When you look at the big three in Phoenix it's been very rare that all three have been clicking in the same game. Copper in particular certainly does not seem like herself, clearly not the player she was last year. Sabally has also been wildly inconsistent. All this makes AT's performance all the more impressive consistent and often game changing. She rather than Sabally I think deserves the moniker unicorn. I would have thought a 1.2 million dollar coach hired as an investment in the franchise's future after serious vetting might have been more successful in getting these three parts together particularly after absences due to injury or personal reasons. The inconsistent performance I think reflects how challenging the W is particularly coaching. I look back and remember with fondness the outstanding coaching in Phoenix of Sandy Brondello and look to Las Vegas as another exemplar of elite coaching. I hope I'll be proved wrong about Nate as we enter a critical stretch of games that would provide Phoenix with the opportunity to host in the first round. That said I share skepticism with my fellow BYers,, just not about Sandy or Becky but about Nate. I'm not certain it matters unless Phoenix drops all the way to 6th because the 4/5 winner will get to play the Lynx..... and that spells elimination. [/QUOTE]
