Sky forward Candace Parker had a response to Sun coach Curt Miller’s comments after Connecticut eliminated Chicago from the WNBA Playoffs.
in Game 5 on the road to clinch a trip to the WNBA Finals. To Miller's point: Jonquel Jones, Alyssa Thomas and Brionna Jones spearheaded an interior attack that pounded the Sky offensively, and frustrated the them defensively, as the series wore on."I mean, here's the thing. We have a standard that we uphold. We won a championship last year. We don't hang conference banners," Parker said.
"So, to be honest with you — I mean, defensively I think that, yeah, they did a great job. They won the series. But I think if it's anything it's us and our aggression that changes things. And we've shown that we can do that in a series, regardless... It is what it is." What Parker left out — but certainly implied — is that the Sky beat the Sun 3-1 in the 2021 semifinals en route to last season's title. The Sun have yet to hang their franchise's first banner, although they will have an opportunity to do so this season.
A tall test awaits them in 2022 MVP A'ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces. But riding the high of a thrilling semifinal victory, Miller's confidence in his squad is palpable.
