Message: [QUOTE="and one, post: 4790859, member: 10475"] Playing high intensity D is great and wins games when done well. It is also really tiring. Fortunately we have the depth to get people in and out enough to sustain it. As for KK needing to throttle back her inclination to drive for layups, I can't say I'm unhappy with what she is doing. We've all seen young guards, and some older ones too, barrel into the paint where there isn't room to do anything useful, and end up getting a charge, or screeching to a stop and getting double teamed leading to a tie up, steal or bad bailout pass. Nika used to do this a lot. I haven't noticed this being an issue with KK. Let her play, she's doing just fine. It would be useful if she sees the defense collapsing into or toward the paint as she is driving to kick the ball out to open shooters. If she does that enough she freeze some defenders and will have more space to operate in. [/QUOTE]
