Message: [QUOTE="jazz, post: 3821574, member: 10942"] I stand corrected that GA did mentioned the second group in the stretch in the 2nd Qtr but there were others out of the game not named AG and how about the group TENN had in the game. You are over-simplifying what GA is saying by saying that somehow the offense was better when she wasn' t in. Ok, I don't agree that just because somebody is in or out, that this is the sole reason for the offense to be better. I don't think GA was trying to say this. He is being complementary to the second group who did hold the fort while others were out - which as you mentioned included CW and ONO as well. I already addressed the stretch in the 2nd Qtr and nothing changes these facts because they ARE facts: AG left the game at 6:43 down by 1. She is back in at about 2:05 and the score is tied. AE blows a layup – is that AG’s fault and then TEN gets a three off the break with EW late on defense= 5 pt swing and nothing to do with AG. Then AG gives a nice pass to AE and she again misses the layup AND both FTs. Is that AG’s fault? That is 7 points we lost in the score column and nothing to do with AG. In fact, AG gave a sweet pass to AE on the break and we got nothing out of it. Down at HT by 1. Same as it was throughout the 2nd with or without AG [B][B]As it is, without or without AG, we are still 1 behind! But, i[/B]f other players make the play and/or hit their FTs, we actually score better when AG is in the game - 7 points better! AG was actually in the game for 3 of the last 7 minutes and I already addressed my thoughts on this. If we indeed moved the ball better, is it not solely because AG is on the bench! That is an over-simplification of things. We finally hit a few open 3s, got a lucky bank shot from AE and got a nice block from Liv to get an easy two. None of this has anything to do with AG's presence or absence from the floor. Everything looks better when you finally hit a few shots which have been there the entire game. [/B] [/QUOTE]
