Message: [QUOTE="CamrnCrz1974, post: 3287668, member: 1052"] In terms of advanced statistics... The Vandersloot/Quigley/DeShields/Dolson/Lavender lineup (23 games played together at the same time) had an OFFRTG (offensive rating; points scored per 100 possessions) of [U]104.6[/U], while its DEFRTG (defensive rating; points allowed per 100 possessions) was [U]95.4[/U]. In terms of all teams and all lineups that played at least 75 minutes together in the regular season, this lineup for Chicago ranked [URL='https://stats.wnba.com/lineups/advanced/?Season=2019&SeasonType=Regular%20Season&sort=OFF_RATING&dir=1&CF=MIN*G*75'][U]7th overall[/U] in the entire WNBA[/URL]. When Lavender was injured (and in prior games when she was on the bench), the Vandersloot/Quigley/DeShields/Dolson/Ndour lineup (14 games played together at the same time) had an OFFRTG of 107.4 and a defensive rating of 98.8. In terms of all teams and all lineups that played at least 75 minutes together in the regular season, this lineup for Chicago ranked [URL='https://stats.wnba.com/lineups/advanced/?Season=2019&SeasonType=Regular%20Season&sort=OFF_RATING&dir=1&CF=MIN*G*75'][U]6th overall[/U] in the entire WNBA[/URL]. In terms of team OFFRTG for the season, Washington was far and away the best (112.9), but Chicago finished [URL='https://stats.wnba.com/teams/advanced/?Season=2019&SeasonType=Regular%20Season&sort=OFF_RATING&dir=-1'][U]2nd in the WNBA[/U] (101.6)[/URL]. And compare the defensive rating starting lineup for Chicago (with Lavender) -- 95.4 -- with the overall marks. Only one team (Las Vegas) had a better mark for the season than that Chicago lineup (Chicago, overall, had a defensive rating of 100.1. I disagree that Coach James Wade played it "conservatively" or that the starting lineup for Chicago was just "okay." The starting lineup was incredibly good. Chicago needs to develop its bench, for one. In addition, the young players -- specifically, Diamond DeShields, KLS, and Gabby Williams -- need to improve their overall shooting, especially from three. But it appears the franchise has turned a corner, from the near-cellar-dwelling days of former HC Amber Stocks. [/QUOTE]
