Message: [QUOTE="Ozimoto, post: 3771761, member: 6677"] Park-Lane showed that we don't have a lock down defender in this group (yet). I think Anna played her as effectively as anyone trying to stop her man to man from what I saw. Once Nika learns what is acceptable to play defense in WCBB and her foot heals (and she doesn't force things) she may become that person. Right now it's obvious she's still figuring out how physical she can be and what she can and can't do on the floor defensively. There was a stretch in the first half where it looks like they were out of sorts and were pushing too hard, trying to go too fast (it seemed like Geno was trying Evina at the point and Paige as the shooting guard and it didn't work so well). They looked like a really young team during that sequence. Still, the level of competition was higher and while there are still things that can be improved upon, I just can't get too upset about the level of play tonight. [/QUOTE]
