Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 4107540, member: 10435"] Christyn is definitely stronger this year and her name will be up on the Wall after this season as an AA. I have no doubt. Her timing on her back doors is perfect. I was more concerned with the defense today going in and there actually was a form of team defense out there and much better individual defense. We clearly worked very hard at it in practice this week. I think Evina is playing a lot of minutes right now and I was happy that she continued shooting in the second half. She is getting a little banged up in these games so I do worry about her being stretched out. Paige has to be more assertive offensively in the beginning of games. She has to put the game away early with the same energy she had to start the second half. I also worry about her endurance lately. There can't be any large drop off with these substitutions that come in early in the game and during it. The lead has to be stable or increase. Azzi is nervous when she comes in. Her shot is rushed ever so slightly and it throws it off. She should shoot her jumper more to get her confidence and rhythm back. It's very Russell Westbrook like. I thought we moved the needle today. Evina and CW have to continue their own paths and everyone has to improve. I'm a big believer in defense as the path for this team to #12. That and for Paige to be an offensive force the entire game and to take it over in the way only she can. [/QUOTE]
