Message: [QUOTE="Bald Husky, post: 5332341, member: 11020"] It appeared that Kelsey Plum was the primary defender against Paige, and actually she did a really good job. Whenever she got the ball, that's when the double or triple teaming occurred, and for the most part, Paige was able to get the ball out to someone in the open for a shot. Thats when they did what they always seemed to do, and that was drive into the abyss and pass up an open three. Still, I couldn't understand why Paige did not take a shot in the opening period. It was almost like she was told not to force anything, just let the game move along with the other players trying to make plays. Actually, it was sometimes comical watching how bad that team was, especially at the end of the first period. I have already mentioned earlier who the Wings should protect in the expansion draft, but the way I feel now, Paige and Maddy are the only sure things. Regarding Koclanes hired to coach a young team, let's not forget that the starting line-up and first few off the bench were not rookies when the season began, excluding Paige of course. The injuries made this team young, so you really can't put all the blame on him. Do I want a more experience no- nonsense coach for next year, of course, but I don't think that will change and I am okay with giving him another chance with a hopefully new and better roster.
