Message: [QUOTE="Inthepaint, post: 4120843, member: 11386"] Maybe I've missed this in somebody else's posts. If so, I apologize. Yes we have all kinds of talent. Yes, some new ones and some veterans have looked a bit confused and the team has looked out of synch. BB is a team sport, even if there are people who stand out, score a lot of points and cruise through games from the opening tip off. The TEAMS that are consistent, and put together seamless performances game in and game out, are the ones that find a way to combine the different talents and learn how to play off each other's strengths. Geno and his staff have to put together all of these pieces of the puzzle and fit them into cohesive units that can defend on the perimeter, keep people away from the lane, control the glass, pressure the ball on defense. THEN, transition quickly get the ball down the court, make quick passes, knowing where all 5 pieces will be and get the best shot whether from beyond the arc or in the paint. And , because there are so many talented, highly motivated pieces of the puzzle (who also happen to be human beings with all the complexities of their different personalities), in some ways it's harder than if there were just 6 or 7 women to consider. This latest version of HUSKY WCBB has to jell and find the combinations both starting and rotating in off the bench, that will enable them to "put the pedal to the metal" in the fashion we seem to crave, and just plain outplay and outclass the competition. I got disgusted a few times already because my expectations are so high. Have a game on Friday and another one on Sunday. Think I'll just sit back, chill out and see what happens. [/QUOTE]
