Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 5173703, member: 12088"] Scoring is not the only thing that determines a game. Sarah did a lot more in that game. I think Joyce is a really good player, maybe the best pure power forward in her class. But her offense is limited compared to Sarah’s, and Sarah is a much better perimeter defender. She has quicker hands and feet. Just to give one example, try to picture Joyce bringing the ball up the court to break a press. Or shooting 3s. Or picking a guard’s pocket at the top of the key. All that said, I’ll repeat that I expect SC to win the upcoming game. I think they’re just too deep and athletic for us at present. And who knows, maybe it will be because Kitts dominates Jana at center. I doubt this, but it’s not outside the realm of possibility. More likely, Feagin will outplay Jana and Ice with some help from the bigs Dawn has on her bench. But this won’t be the difference maker, in my opinion. It will be Raven & Co outplaying Paige & Co in the backcourt. If I were game planning this one, I’d want Azzi and Ash to shadow PaoPao, deny her the ball and force her to defend them, and I’d hope KK and Kaitlyn can contain Raven and Milaysia. That would leave Bree and Tessa to guard Paige and vice versa. Don’t let PaoPao Milaysia and Chloe beat us. Force someone else to. And even this may not be enough, because Dawn has a lot of weapons. Will Paige Azzi and Sarah be up to playing 30+ minutes at this point in the season? We’ll have to see. [/QUOTE]
