Message: [QUOTE="jazz, post: 3829019, member: 10942"] Time for some big picture perspective: [LIST] [*]It is only one loss. Just in case you don’t believe me, check out the won-loss column [*]We lost on the road against a very experienced team by a grand total of 3 points. [*]We could have won this game is so many ways which I think most of us either know and/or mentioned in posting here. [*]There is a lot of BB to be played and we are a very young team. Usually this means the team can get a lot better as the year progresses. [/LIST] Some Good things: [LIST] [*]PB is lights out. First team AA consideration and is ONLY scratching the surface of how good she can really be. [*]EW has gotten better every game. A steady progression to the point that she is a force on offense. [*]Nice improvement in some of our young players and freshies not named PB. We are starting to see glimpses of their talent. I think they will get even better in another 5-6 weeks.. I’ve seen improvement over the first 10-11 games and if we can get the same kind of improvement over the next 10-11 games, we may have something there! [*]We should get some kind of lift when we get AM back and Saylor on the court. You may not be a big believer in either, but we are a better team with them than we are without them. [*]We are playing a lot of young players in different positions but still score points for the most part and this last game we had 87. The offense will come around. It is the defense I am most worried about. [/LIST] Some bad things with my usual optimistic spin: [LIST] [*]We are not a good perimeter defensive team. Some are better/worse than others. Hopefully we get better – I think most will get better and I think one player may not. [*]We have not shot the ball well from the outside this year. I still think this will improve. As critical as I have been on CW, I still think she will rebound and start hitting shots. As a 2G, she has shot very poorly this year. [*]Liv has not played as well as I thought she would. I am hoping to see how she does against SC. We just need 12 and 10 and stay in the game. [*]We are not a physical team and this might hurt us. We will see when we play SC. [*]I thought AM would be a much bigger force thus far, but she has not found her rhythm yet and this hurts us on offense. I think if she gets her rhythm along with CW and/or Saylor, we have PB, EW and NM to dribble and kick to open shooters and this helps those shooters a lot. We saw this in the Ark game – made some and missed some. [*]I think EW is a little slow on her closeout of the 3 point shooters and hope she will be quicker at doing this. [*]AG hasn’t quite become the force I thought she might. She seems inconsistently confident in her outside shoot. I still think she can help us big time down the road. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
