Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 4588980, member: 12088"] That may well be what happens. But I don't think we have to belittle Caitlin to imagine how the game might go. She's not a fool, nor is she untalented. She won't get as many assists because her teammates won't get open as much or make their shots when she gets them a dime. I can imagine a blowout or a challenge, and I find the challenge a more interesting target of my imagination. Also, fortunately for Czinano, she won't have to play Boston, Cardoso and Saxton (and Amihere) all at once. She'll play Boston and Saxton to start, and if you think Caitlin won't be able to get her a pass in position to score over Saxton (who is not a match for her), you're dreaming. How often will that happen? Maybe once or twice. And when Cardoso subs in for Boston and anyone else for Saxton, the same thing will happen. I'm not saying Czinano will score a lot, but I wouldn't be surprised if she got 10-12 points. Again, we don't have to belittle really good players to imagine how the game might go. And just generally, I prefer to imagine how other teams might really test SC. What inner depths of greatness does SC have at this time of year? I suspect they are considerable, but if we convince ourselves the tournament will be just a rerun of the cupcake OOC schedule that started the year, we won't get to savor just how great the team Dawn put together really is.
