Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Monday, May 30, 2005

Jen Derevjanik is back and better than ever.

Last year Sun fans cheered against her (they wanted Black); right now she comes in for Whalen and gives the Sun-- dare I say it?-- more consistent perimeter defense than Lindsay, as great as she is on offense, can. (If you watched Saturday's Phoenix game, you saw the Mercury pass the ball around the perimeter repeatedly trying to find whomever Lindsay was guarding, and then saw that player-- usually DeForge-- take the shot.)
