Message: [QUOTE="jazz, post: 3787875, member: 10942"] My two cents on post play: Liv – Nice game dealing with contact and muscling up the shot, showed promise in this area. Needs to lower the ball to gather herself to go back up. Not sure this will get much better due to her linear build – she is not comfortable keeping the ball high – needs to bring it down and back up for power and balance. Continues to show a nice arsenal of moves. Agile in the post, even against smaller players. Excellent composure in the post. Not perfect, but she has a nice feel on how to react with players flying at her at all directions. A bit slow on her backdown move once. Almost split a triple team but earlier recognition with a kickout would have been good. Then she adapted in the second half. This really shows that she takes to coaching as I’m sure the staff pointed this out at the half. Later on, she had a very quick pass out of the post to an open EW -airball. Did it a second time and then moved out to the FT extended, got it back and hit the jumper. Nice sequence here. Nice pass to AE and later CW for the three. Nice backdoor pass to CW. She has been coached really well on post play. Not to take anything away from Liv, but it is easier to rebound and pass against smaller players. Hope she keeps it up against size. BTW, she did not use her patent step back fade shot in this game. That is good because maybe she is recognising that it is not always needed. AM – off again – very streaky. 1 3 pt heave shouldn’t count against her. Good defense and there were times she showed really good lateral slide movement. She needs to hit her shots! AE – impressive. Made a difference as soon as she came in. Big strong body who can post and has nimble feet. MM reminds me of Denis Rodman rebounding the ball. Please let me know if you agree or not. [/QUOTE]
