Message: [QUOTE="MD#12Fan, post: 3820626, member: 8636"] Couple of "benefit of the doubt" points, amongst the yuckiness: 1) let down from a big road game 2 days ago 2) your best player out. 10 games down- some of this stuff "is what it is". At some point do you concentrate on what you have versus what you could have or would like to have? Couple of observations: Our posts have to show themselves big. They have to ask for the ball and show the passer where they want the ball. The posts can pivot better and attack the rim with a drive or pass. (Remember Gabby, using both hands) The wings have to see the floor. Wait a beat for the cutter. Looks sometimes like the ball is a hot potato. Ball fakes create openings in the middle of the zone. Posts inside- jump stop, get in an athletic position, pump fakes, get the defender on your back, then go up strong. That's one reason we look so ugly, is like Geno said postgame, we don't finish plays. One more: is CW really a spot up shooter against a zone? I know she hits one occasionally, but I don't see it. What if she ran baseline and got the ball in the "short corner". That could be her "office". Short J's, drives baseline with either hand, interior passing, all her strengths. I hate it when players get the ball in positions in which they are not effective, like CW on the wing/free throw line extended, Aubrey same, Liv on top or on the wing, etc. Sorry, I'm perturbed.
