[SIZE=5]To begin with, it is noteworthy that I did not give the [/SIZE][SIZE=6][B][COLOR=rgb(85, 57, 130)]advantage[/COLOR][/B][/SIZE][SIZE=5] to KK. I called it [/SIZE][SIZE=6][B][COLOR=rgb(85, 57, 130)]even[/COLOR][/B] [/SIZE][SIZE=5]after stating on paper it should be an advantage for Citron. However, if you look at the last six games, a different picture starts to emerge...while it is still statistically on paper an advantage to Citron, it is much closer than people would believe. My call for even was based on did I think that defensively KK could cause Citron to fall 4 or 5 points below her 17-point average, and did I think her defense could cause Citron to rush her three-point shot and possibly fall below her 2.7 average for three-pointers per game? I think if KK's stellar defense could accomplish these two things then the match-up becomes a statistical push and hence the even call. I wouldn't agree with the posters that say it isn't even close because when we look at the last 6 games played, while Citron statistically beats KK in points, rebounds, and 3-pointers per game KK beats Citron in assists and steals per game. Finally, it should be noted that KK Arnold in the last 6 games has turned the ball over 8 times while Sonia Citron turned the ball over 14 times.
