Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 4262034, member: 9844"] The problem is fouls. Most of the season we have gone with a limited three big rotation, which as long as all three are available and healthy has worked pretty well. Two of those three are foul prone (Liv and Aaliyah), and most of our opponents have not had a dominant interior scorer, although some have. My point is at this stage facing Cunane, and potentially Brink and Boston, facing very talented bigs is the norm not the exception. Staying out of foul trouble will be far more of a challenge, and with a three big rotation we are vulnerable there. Now that we have six good healthy guards, it seems to me the argument for giving the bigs more help with double teams is much stronger than it would be if we had one or two more bigs we could count on. Don't get me wrong, if Liv, Aailyah or Dorka think they have a good chance at a block later in the game and they are not in foul trouble, of course go for it, but early in the game I think they have to be more cautious.
