Not sure Nika is trying to make the perfect pass, just moving the action.  A problem for her is she often stops before making a pass allowing the defender to close on her much as she does to the opponent.  Our play dictates her handing the ball more so this may create more passes and a long shot clock possession thus rushed shots at the end of the clock. If she can pass up-court earlier rather than dribble our up-tempo game is much better IMO. Avoiding sideline traps late in the game is another must for this team.  Hope they are working on it for tight games.

If there were a state of average time of 30 second possession or average number of passes per possession, I'd be curious to see where our team stands but the eye test show a lot of narrow well telegraphed passes by our team, not many of the no look passes offered in quicker possessions.  Most of our offensive is well scripted and thus scouted easily.  It would seem that with just five (5) players playing most minutes their individual patterns are also well known by opponents. A deeper productive bench would help solve this problem.  We are not there yet.
