SASS are a playoff team?
They have about 2.5 real players
pilight - August 26, 2010
yep. 2.5 is pushing it right now...
with Holdsclaw out….

SASS cut down the TO's
6 turnovers in the 1st qtr for 10 Merc points. Only 1 in the 2nd.
Merc still shooting 52%. SASS just doesn’t have the size to disrupt the passing lanes and if you let Phx move the ball they will pick you apart.
Surprised when I saw Dupree w/ 18 though. Wow. They are posting her up against Young as well as pick and roll and finding her on cuts.

SASS
puts Appel in to stop Dupree in the post and Corey immediately attacks her feet with a pick and roll

Diana
is not having a good game at all
Seth Pollack - August 26, 2010
Any good reason for it?
Or just an off night?
Jessica Lantz - August 26, 2010
not sure
clearly they are going to Dupree b/c of the mismatch there. Might be saving DT for 4th qtr. She’s also expending a lot of energy on the defensive end. She’s been on Becky most of the game.

Bonner w/ 3 blks and a steal
Merc defense holding tight. SASS shooting 39% but in the game b/c of 8/13 from three

Earning that 6th woman award
Or rather showing yet again why she got it…
Jessica Lantz - August 26, 2010
This is such a different
Merc team than last yr…they are just pounding it in the paint.
Seth Pollack - August 26, 2010
and playing defense
…not that SASS have many scoring options
Seth Pollack - August 26, 2010
Looks like y'all
Will get your doughnuts, huh. SASS can’t stop anyone…
Jessica Lantz - August 26, 2010
nope
I really love Corey’s game plan though…he mixed some things up but still they have mismatches all over the floor
Seth Pollack - August 26, 2010
Really hard to believe
with all the great scorers that Dupree, in her first playoff game, is one point away from setting the franchise post season scoring record
Seth Pollack - August 26, 2010
Dupree done
for the night…oh well
Seth Pollack - August 26, 2010
Kara's hitting triples?
Jessica Lantz - August 26, 2010
foot was on the line :)
Seth Pollack - August 26, 2010
Well good.
Kara =/=
Jessica Lantz - August 26, 2010
I guess they gave it to her
shows why I’m not a ref
