Message: [QUOTE="ochoopsfan, post: 4398429, member: 420"] I watched both the Avenida game and the Valencia v Girona game. Avenida was way off on 3 point shots(20%) I dont know why Dominguez didnt play except she will have back to back games this weekend. Mo and Maite were fine, in moving the ball, and on D Avenida lost a ton of talent in KLS, Karlie, Hof(who went to Praha but tore her ACL) Copper and Alarie. Canaria seems to have a better roster than last year, and they still have a very good player in Kone. Girona won the game but I am not impressed with their overall roster, as of today. I dont like their bigs in Labuckiene and Extarri vs last years Reisingerova(now Avenida) and Eldebrink. Losing Kennedy Burke and Laila Palu also. Added Crystal Bradford and Shay Murphy(didnt know she still played. She graduated USC in 2007). Not sure if they added a player that hasnt shown up. Valencia looked great in first half, Cox had 15 of her 18 points in first half, Disappointing performances from Gulich and Carrera. Missing Bec Allen, Alba Torrens who played in Russia last season, and Awa Fam(who played in preseason but now isnt on the roster. Not sure why Valencia parted with Laura Gil, she always gave good minutes and scoring in the past. I would say the top 3 teams will remain the top 3 teams, but Avenida has Roberto Iniguez as the coach, and he will make the difference, barring injuries. [/QUOTE]
