Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 4939576, member: 12088"] A “dog fight” not a rock fight. I don’t expect Duke to play the “physical” game with all the slapping and clawing and shoving and holding we’ve seen lately. Not all teams play that way. And it doesn’t seem to be Lawson’s way of coaching. What does shutting down Paige entail? Double and triple teams don’t work because this unlocks her passing game. She wants a triple team. Teams that defend her that way are practically handing her the win. Unless Duke has someone who can defend Paige one-on-one, she will have her way with them. This means if Ash finds the range then Aaliyah will have a good game. This is a difficult trio to stop if Ash is on her game. And Ash is used to playing in high pressure situations. She was always the go-to player in high school and carried her team to the state championship. The gravy is if Nika and KK and Ice and Q can get some buckets too. [/QUOTE]
