They are passing the ball to Griner and she is scoring.
I repeat:

That's not what's happening here today. The Merc are 4/13 from three midway through the third

| This is the team you expected when they acquired SDS. They are playing to their ceiling. Love to see it.

Yeah. The last two games the Mercury are just better in every area.
I still think Bill’s coaching has been atrocious. Not a single body on Turner and she’s ate them up 3 games in a row now. The Aces aren’t even attempting to make it difficult for her. Bad.

Obviously not. Just saying that I trust those numbers, over the course of a series, more than I trust what happened in Game 1. Just like I don't think that Taurasi's going to have another 30-point game in this series, just because she did it on Thursday.

| I mean, yes, people are saying to have Wilson post up more, but she's 2-10. Vegas is struggling with their usual issues of not having enough outside shooting to spread out the floor. They are just 2-10 from three.

| Griner with 4 fouls. Surely, we'll see Smith in at some point?

| While I am enthusiastically and spitefully rooting against Phoenix in this series (because fuck you that's why), if Phoenix has to do well I'd rather they do it behind Turner and Griner than Taurasi and Diggins-Smith.

| Any other player gets a tech there. Shocked Wilson was tagged with one though. Bad call for sure. |

Aces big mad.
Maybe they should transfer this energy to their effort on the floor.

This is not a knock on A'ja because she is a great player, but the first 2.5 games of this series should be a real wake-up call that she needs to relentlessly work on taking the ball off the bounce from the high post and develop and outside game.
She is have a really hard time with the post defense of Turner and the height of BG. |
It actually should be a knock on A'ja. She's totally being outplayed. I think she's one who has always gotten away with just being athletic and not trying to round out her game. Perhaps this will light a fire under her. She could be so much better than this.

| The four primary post players in this game today are Wilson, Cambage, Griner, and Turner. If someone would've taken a poll at which one would have 23 & 14 with 7 minutes left in the fourth and you say you would've voted for Turner...you'd be lying. She is having the game of her life.

She’s balling but the Aces are baiting her into having the game and series of her life. It’s truly mind boggling.
