Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 4033275, member: 10435"] Excellent analysis but I still disagree about the starting team. Who sits so another big can start? Not Evina, CW, Paige or Ono so it has to be Nika but he has said how much he likes the team with Nika at the point. She is also a great point defender. I think last year's team starts mostly with an occasional start of another big when necessary but he can always spell E with a big as well with the first or second substitution. I also think that E will be a different player this year with the extra year of strength in her knee. I agree about the 2015-2016 to present "drought" and I was one of the ones that talked about the lack of power as being a factor, but did we really not make the Finals for that reason alone? We have not played well period in a National Semis game in the last 4 games and left ourselves open to being beat. There's more to it I believe now. They just have not been ready. Geno has acknowledged that. They were tight and playing not to lose. This year will be different. [/QUOTE]
