Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Wednesday, June 21, 2006

The Connecticut Sun found the perfect remedy to end their two game losing streak...play the Charlotte Sting. The Sun defeated the Sting for the third time this season, 90-66. In the three games, Connecticut has outscored Charlotte 268-202 and by an average of 22 points per game.

The Sting had Tammy Sutton-Brown back, but is apparently still missing its passion to compete and team chemistry. "I think we're doing ourselves a disservice, the city and this organization a disservice," guard Allison Feaster said. "I think everyone in here has a great heart, but we're not on the same page at the moment. I honestly think we have the players we need. I don't know if we have enough heart, and that's an insult to me. It's just a disgusting feeling."

Muggsy was frustrated with his team after the game and is "looking for five people who want to compete, defend, and play some good basketball."

Everyone on the Sun active roster got a chance to play and contribute. Nykesha Sales, who was questionable to play because of injuries, led six players in double figures. Connecticut made a record 38 field goals in the game and their bench nearly matched the starters in point production. "We kind of pride ourselves on being a reasonably deep team," Mike Thibault said. "Our bench is fairly young, but we've been playing them as much as we can and getting them some experience."
