Message: [QUOTE="JordyG, post: 2854929, member: 6819"] As with the game against Senegal this team so far is having issues on defense and offense. Their defensive intensity has been lacking. On defense the guards are having problems denying penetration and the forwards are getting beat off the dribble. On offense their hi/lo offense is predictable and forced. The US guards aren't shooting well enough, and the the US's spacing on the offensive end is only fair. Surprisingly the US's forwards haven't been as dominating as anticipated. Because of the teams minimal playing time together I anticipated a certain lack of cohesiveness on offense, but their defensive woes are surprising. A lot of these problems could be ameliorated with a bit more communication on defense and the guards hitting their shots on offense. In other words, if Bird starts playing like a champion and DT plays more like the GOAT it'll open things up on the block for the forwards. And Griner would help too. [/QUOTE]
