Message: [QUOTE="can4, post: 5152463, member: 11230"] We need OFFENSE from the post to win it all. That much is glaringly obvious. Without it the following things happen: Our three point shooting suffers because defense can double up knowing they are, effectively playing 5 on 3 Our three point defense or "perimeter defense" suffers because people get gassed Our foul point shooting suffers because our elite defenders get gassed making up for the two or three people who do not score do not preach to me about intangibles because he have had people like Swin, Ashja (SP), Tamika, And oh so many others who rebound the ball and score. In the absence of athleticism and scoring from Chen you are going to have very serious issues when confronted with speedy, athletic guards. Like you are going to be playing 2 on 4 or 5. Good times. Given all that, We did pretty well. It could have been a crap show. I for one do not get the Chen love fest with athletic teams. Not going to happen for her there. KK is athletic. Shooting not so much. but winning without post presence not going to occur Also exhausts Paige, Sarah and others. Insane. Absence of inside out game. Assists go down. Cannot play sets. Post game seriously lacking right now. Limits us. Bad times. [/QUOTE]
