Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 4012049, member: 10435"] 100% agree. In 2016 there was actually a "bump up" sometimes and not a "drop off" when Whalen came in for Sue and Augustus came in as the 3. The second wave is not more of the same this year at all except that I think our two next bigs, Tina and Syl will do damage because it is a second wave and no other team's second string front court can stay with them. A subtle yet unique factor in Bird and DT's game as guards is that they set up the next likely good pass with their first pass because they see the next chess move. I don't see that in any of the others and I don't think you will see it again until it's Paige, Sabrina, Fudd or Clark. It's not just about individual talent, it's about teamwork, chemistry and cohesiveness and I don't see the same visible signs of that in this team as in the past. You know a big part of that was Geno. The 2016 team was crazy unselfish and probably the greatest women's team ever. [/QUOTE]
