Message: [QUOTE="dogpause, post: 4254407, member: 701"] I love the physical toughness we've been showing, and the ability to draw a charge call is absolutely a necessity when a player like SC's Boston will repeatedly ram you, but there is one thing that really concerns me about this team -- we're just too passive, predictable and defensible on offense. I'd like to see a bit more dibble-drive and a bit less passing around the perimter. With the exception of Christyn, it doens't happen very often, and almost never from down the middle. We also need Paige and Azzi need to stop standing in the wings, offstage, and step up and into the spotlight. Azzie was not named Shooter of the Year, she was Player of the Year. Camping out on the perimeter, hoping for a wide open shot, then throwing passes to the other team is not why she is on the floor. She is there to score the ball, and she has the ability to do it in so many ways. But she doesn't. And Paige sometimes seems that she is more like a grandmother, making sure everyone gets a second helping of pie, than the best player on the team. If there was ever a time to takeover a game, it was last night, but she didn't do it. If that continues, this team will not have the on-floor leadership it needs to reach its potential. Our best players need to accept that they are our best players, and that is comes with an obligation. We all love Paige and Azzie, but IMO, the team needs more from them, but not more than they are capable of. [/QUOTE]
