CC was +13 while on the floor.
Taurasi was -16. She is slow and a defensive liability.
Taurasi was -16. She is slow and a defensive liability.
Mitchell's play has grown on me some, and I think she's grown to accept that the offense mainly runs through CC and now she finds a way to play her solo game when the offensive flow breaks down.
They’re not winning without her. They have to have a second scorer. In some cases a 1st. CC was totally recognizing her roll late in the game.
The Mercury roster in general is growing on me. They are feisty and competitive, but they don't come across as petty. Cloud, Copper, Cunningham and even Taurasi have all seemed pretty chill...that is when Copper isn't getting hot headed at CC over a foul.
The Fever lost at Dallas right before the break. Tonight, the Sun are crushing them (in Dallas) because the Sun play defense.
While most of what we see from CC is good, there is definitely a pattern where she shoots well in the first quarter, but her shot fades. Tonight, she started 2 of 3 from three, but finished 2 of 8. We've seen this many times, in both college and the W. I have to think she just gets tired from her very fast-paced play and loses the ability to shoot efficiently later in games. Meanwhile, Mitchell, tonight, shot 6-13 from three. She's not running around nearly as much as CC. She gets more open, spot-up threes.
Thomas did not get a triple-double, coming up short of 10 rebounds. She did finish with 14 assists, though.
Cloud had some bush league play tonight. She was grabbing/holding Mitchell around that screen then bodied her as she was trying to get up. Garbage play there.
