Question 1
Connecticut owns us. What do we have to do to get past the Sun?
I think the first step was getting bigger guards- (though Nikki and AB
had problems in the series)



Teasley is definitely the key. She's got to have a bit more confidence and
realize that she is NIKKI TEASLEY. seriously. She's one of the best, if not
the best, pure guards in the league and she can shoot when she has the
drive. Would love to see her attack more like she did in the first quarter.



But also think the big girls are the key. Love Melvin, but neither she nor
Sanford could take CT on the inside.



Finally, they just need to stick together. This was the first year with
that line up and it only looks up from here.


Question 2
I am wondering if we should have kept Kayla or Aiesha instead of
James? Admittedly I did not see a lot of James this year- but size
has always been a problem for us and Zane is still developing.



But James has hops.. and hustle. and an outside shot. I think it was a good
decision, besides.. it was my understanding that it was between Kayla, Smith
and Sanford.. and after Sanford's amazing improvement, that decision was
clearly justified.


Question 3
Also, was Byears still hurt? Thought she would have gotten more
playing time-especially with that 2nd bruising game against the Sun.



Tell me about it. Not sure what the decision was there. She has to still
be hurt. It was silly to not put her in.. even if just to take some of the
fouls away from Milton or Melvin.


Question 4
I think I would have tried to make more use of Laurie K. Anyone
surmise why Ritchie did not go to her more?



She can't play defense, at all, and with Douglas and Whalen you can't afford
to have a guard at there who cannot defend. Even if she can shoot from my
house and make it.



Just my two cents. Great season. Can't wait for next year!
