Mercury's speed burns down

Well... the Mercury v Sacramento game started with a bang... with Taurasi hitting 3 straight 3 pointers... it's was fast and fun to watch. But, the team play of the more experienced Monarchs won in the end... with a lop-sided score of 78 to 105. DT was suffering from a hip/thigh injury and clearly not up to speed. Cappie Poindexter put in a good game, but it wasn't enough to quiet the drive of Yo and Kara Lawson and company.

Although I'm a committed Connecticut Sun fan, gotta keep an eye on former UCONN players... call it sentimental, but can't help routing for DT, Bird, Swin and, now, Ann Strothers - also with the Mercury - when I get the rare chance to see their play televised. Keep an eye on the Mercury... if they pull it together, they'll have a good season. It would be good to see DT get a chance at the championship.
