Message: [QUOTE="BostonBay, post: 4181238, member: 10266"] Imo, the only chance we have of a puncher's chance of a FF/Title is (besides, of course, Paige coming back) for AE returning to form. She probably played one of her best games of the season tonight. She played 32 minutes and was active all game long. Her physical presence is a must for the Tourney. So, I was overall happy with today's game. Everyone else "are what they are". ONO's not getting better, EW is not getting better. Azzi hopefully has some upside with her shooting with more playing time. But, to expect this team to beat good teams with this lineup is false hope. We really havent had a good half court offense all season, and the main reason is we've had no PG leadership since Paige went down. Sorry, Nika is not a good starting PG that can manage an offense. Her shooting is also a liability. She's a good 6th player providing a spark on both ends. EW is not a natural PG - you can see it on her face. As a result, this team is going to look very spotty at best on offense since it has to depend on 3-point/perimeter shooting, especially when the opposition mixes up their defenses. You also have TONS of turnovers. Geno wants to play this very finesse offense with tons of player movements, cuts, picks, etc. But, he doesnt have the players (talent & experience) to pull it off. The best case scenario is to get Paige back and hope there is enough time to gel. And, for AE to keep getting better in the post. And, pray there are all healthy in March. p.s. Dorka has a good "motor" and you could notice her absence today. She usually finds the ball. Tonight - lots of standing around. [/QUOTE]
