Diamond and Tina have got to stop forcing jumpers when defenders are all over them. We are so much better when the ball is moving.
Other than the crappy shot selection in the 2nd, we’ve been pretty sharp. |
I've been more annoyed with them throwing up 3's. Both of them can hit the jumpers consistently but it's the choices on when they are taking them.
Tina should never be shooting over Hamby on a jumper. Put the ball on the floor and make her guard you to the rim or kick it out to someone. Maybe that's not a strength of hers but I swore Tina's post game was really good.
Diamond is still very athletic. She settles and I know she's still getting her footing back so I give her passes but Vegas hasn't stopped her from getting inside. Combat the struggle from 3 with good shots in the paint and defensive stops.

| I know everyone wants AJA to be the MVP for Vegas but I still don't see it. Season is still early but Jackie Young seems to be doing the best under Becky.

That has been just as annoying for me too. I don’t understand why Tina is even allowed to take 5 3s in a game, let alone in a half. We’ve got to get a better job of getting the ball to our best 3pt shooters. I wish someone would tell Tina there’s a reason why you’re so open.

Agreed. Maybe that'll change as the season goes on. I mean, she was expecting to shoot those because BG was supposed to be there but she's not so an adjustment needs to be made.
Phoenix can still be a really good team. They seem a lot less scary right now. But the effort has been exciting.

| The officiating is beyond biased. Vegas getting whatever call and Phoenix just out there.

I’m not sure where we are at with finances, but I do agree with Zune in that maybe we should cut Thomas and/or Anigwe if they aren’t even going to get minutes. I really would’ve liked if it were possible to bring Jefferson in on a vet minimum but of course Minnesota scooped her.

| Hamby is outworking Turner and Charles (who seems content with jacking up jumpers) get your azz on the block and post up!

| lol at them talking up Shepherd. She's been terrible and Vegas basically has no bench guards.

| Plum's aggression to the basket is really fun to watch. I always think she can't possibly get in there effectively at her size, and still she does it.

| I hope positivity doesn’t run out for the Mercury this season. There have been some demoralizing quarters. It doesn’t help that we are probably playing the best team 3 times in our most depleted part of the season.

when she and DT are 2-13 from three, you won't win too many games.

Diamond has looked good this game, but Diana and Tina need to get it together.

At least one of those two should be shooting them.

The 3 should not be a regular part of Tina's repertoire
