Message: [QUOTE="UConnCat, post: 4043219, member: 15"] She can do this against the Liberty but last night's effort by the Storm will not beat the better teams in the league, particularly those with more size than the Liberty. Sue and Jewell seem to have no legs. Important to remember that last year in the bubble Sue played in only 11 of the Storm's 20 regular season games. I believe she was dealing with a knee issue. As a result, she was rested for the playoffs. In 2018, Dan practiced a little load management and gave Sue a few (3?) games off during the regular season. Also, the 2018 World Cup was [I]afte[/I]r the WNBA season. This season Sue played every game leading up to the Olympics, played in all 6 Olympic games, and missed 2 post-Olympic games. She's also playing more minutes than she played last summer or in 2018. Can her 40-year-old body recover? As for Jewell, more troubling than her 3-12 shooting was that she didn't really get many good shots. That tells me she's just not moving well without the ball. Jewell has played all but one of the Storm's games this season and has not missed a game since the Olympics. Then again, Jewell did play great defense on Ionescu in the 2nd half. The coaches need to figure out how to get her going on offense. [/QUOTE]
