Message: [QUOTE="Dokey, post: 3804508, member: 9636"] Excellent commentary. I keep hearing how poor AM’s defense is but as she is the player I focus on, I vaguely recall the only one time she was beat. One time in 36 minutes. The truth is she makes up for slower feet with floor iq. That is one of the reasons why Geno played her more than any other player along with his admission that the team doesn’t play as well with her on the bench. Others were beat several times. PB played great as usual but she got taken on defense, especially nearer basket, just as she did in high school. On the other hand, her incredible anticipation created havoc. As much as Geno praises her shooting, he is less enthusiastic about her defense. Don’t get me wrong. She will dominate the game for four years and will rack up more than one POY award. As for offense, AM put up only five shots. I saw two or three times where she should have taken the shot. But the real problem for AM and other long range bombers is the team’s tunnel vision. They simply don’t see open outside shooters, going for layups instead when the chances are slim. That might be Geno’s fault. [/QUOTE]
