Connecticut Sun: Is having playoff experience good, even if all that experience was bad?

For the second year in a row, the Sun went exactly 21-13, and then were broken in the one-game playoff by Diana Taurasi’s iron will. The meek postseason results have hidden the fact that, in just three years, coach Curt Miller has built the WNBA’s quietest regular season juggernaut: last year, the Sun’s average margin of victory was second only to the Storm, and a healthy distance ahead of the third-place Mystics. Miller’s huge gang of productive role players just does not stop coming at teams who can only cross their fingers and pray when the starters take a breather. Plus, at this point, a lot of the roster has established strong continuity from years of playing with one another. The 2019 season is a gigantic psychological test for Connecticut, as they look for a way to finally carry their sharp regular season edge into the playoffs.
