Message: [QUOTE="Bald Husky, post: 4172389, member: 11020"] Our forte since Geno has been coach has been the up-tempo game that everyone loves, even people that don't like us, but still admire how we play. With Paige and Nika both out we have looked terrible, aways stuck in the half court, with some players just standing around waiting for someone else to make things happen. Enter Nika Muhl, playing the way we have always played, and even though she doesn't score much, the other players are getting opportunities to get open shots. These other players are better for Nika being in there, as Paige is when she is in. Never mind the scoring, Paige just makes everyone else better with her passing and pushing the offence up the floor. When Paige comes back, she will be limited with her minutes (like Nika has been, LOL). Seriously though, there is no way that one of them is not going to be on the floor when the other isn't. We can't afford to fall back into that half court crap that has dragged us down. Paige is the best in the country, Nika is not, but her value to this team cannot be overlooked when we are at full strength. It just seems that we can't function very well without a leader on the court at all times, and like it or not, Nika is a leader. Azzi, Caroline, EW, CW, and Paige when needed will supply the scoring. This is a team that needs a PG to lead them, and with Paige and Nika running the show, we can be the team that we always thought we could be. [/QUOTE]
