the Mercury will get back on the winning track against the Sun. The sun have the talent to be competitive with the bottom half of the league but not with the top four or five teams

Why Parker & Dolson aren't starting is mind boggling.

If Howard's numbers drop off a bit and Parker keeps up this pace, Cheyenne might stand a chance at MIP.

Phoenix looks to be half asleep. And what's up with Bonner and Taurasi? Parents with screaming children all night?

Taurasi is MIA tonight. No very MVP-like.

Gabby with a very good performance.....GW would have a greater impact if most of her minutes was played at the SF position.

Laughing Dee with the "Hold me back! Hold me back!"

I'm amazed more players don't give her some of that.

Deserved a flagrant though.

Granted, this game is completely the refs fault. Neither team was favored, it just got out of control.

It definitely helped the home team to get Griner thrown out, so maybe other teams can learn from that.

It helps for sure, but it should also be noted that the Sky had the lead when BG got herself tossed out so it's no excuse for Phoenix.

Refs need to start calling it when people blatantly foul Griner. I know she’s big, but players shouldn’t be able to get quite as physical with her.

Now the Mercury have always been dumb when it comes to physical play. Refs see and call the retaliation. Geno told Diana this when she was 19...and 17 years later she still gets frustrated by it.

And I imagine it is frustrating...but the Merc need to be physical first, instead of adjusting to what the other team is doing. That’s the game plan against the Mercury right now..be extra physical and you’ll frustrate them out of their game. The Merc need to hit first.

You must mean the other 11 players, because I don't think Diana Taurasi has ever needed to be counseled to hit first.
