Message: [QUOTE="Creature, post: 3871492, member: 10724"] I think all of this Analysis of whats wrong wit SC's offense is off base and superficially highlights deficiencies in Boston & Cooke's game that has nothing to do with why the offense strugles at time. It has nothing to do with nasty, Cookes shot selection or Bostons staina as this entire thread suggests. Look at the 5 pieces SCar trots out on the court. When they are playing well and the 4 position is scoring inside-they are unmatched. So when teams stack the paint against SCar -0they are doing it with Big on Big . The person who is guarding our for (99% its going to be a taller player) will come into the lane and dobule Boston because teams are not scared of our 4s hitting a shot outside of the paint. This impacts Zia and Henderson because the guard can now cover her closely at the 3pt line. Teams sometimes gamble and send the person guarding our small forward to triple Aliyah in the post. Cooke is throwing up the wild shot on the drive that worked last year because the 4 on our team was not in the paint constantly. So Cooke is driving one on three most of the time because her defender is running her off the three into a congested paint. We need a four that can hit the shot 8-12 feet away with some consistency. That will open up the paint for Boston and the driving lane for Cooke. [/QUOTE]
