Quote of the Day: Richard Cohen
From the WNBAlien post that covered yesterday's Seattle @ Phoenix game:
"It was interesting to see Storm coach Brian Agler go super-small this time around without being remotely forced into it by foul trouble. Camille Little and Ewelina Kobryn were both replaced midway through the first quarter, leaving Seattle once again with Shekinna Stricklen, Alysha Clark and [Katie] Smith as their frontcourt. Stricklen’s probably the tallest, but none of them are true posts at WNBA level. It showed what Seattle thought of Phoenix’s interior game, or the Mercury’s ability to consciously force the ball down low and attack the Storm in the paint. Agler didn’t feel the need to run Little and Kobryn into the ground, because the Mercury weren’t going to take advantage. He was absolutely right."
