Message: [QUOTE="Ozimoto, post: 4866362, member: 6677"] Nika was in a walking boot last Thursday and has had multiple ankle sprains over the years. I know she said at the pre game press event that the boot was "precautionary" but you're not in a walking boot for nothing. That just might have something to do with the fact that she can't stay in front of the quicker guards out there. From my perspective, the offensive player almost always has the advantage in a one on one situation because they are initiating the action and the defender is reacting to it. A quick guard that is a good ball handler will be very difficult to stop on a dribble drive by the opposing guard without a big to protect the rim. In my opinion, this team playing a four guard offense (that maximizes scoring) does not have a back line rim protector that can shut down dribble drives by quick guards. If it did, we wouldn't be having this discussion. [/QUOTE]
