In the NBA, the received wisdom is that the game slows down in the postseason, and becomes more of a grind-it-out affair. The WNBA playoffs are much different, but each possession is more important, and so teams will tend to try to be more precise -- and thus take more time.
And it may also help the Sun that they are the only team playing the way they do. Other teams will have to adjust to their style while the Sun faces the usual style every night.
They should of course try their best but this is a lost season for them. They need a number 1 option and more shooting outside of Carrington and Bonner. They need to re-sign the Big 3 ( Jones, Bonner and AT) plus Carrington then maybe try to sign Mitchell from the Fever and possibly trade for Nylssa Smith(maybe a draft spot of the Sun's 1st for Fever 2nd) to go with Lacan.
Great stuff ...
