Message: [QUOTE="jazz, post: 4255487, member: 10942"] The team showed some real toughness in the face of adversity. Missing a multitude of layups and getting called for tacky fouls can have a toll on you. I saw a team start to play with some tude...they didnt back down. We did have the home crowd as well though. It was not pretty by any means, but a win is a win and GA has a lot of teaching points. GA is sure to spend a lot more time critiquing every tiny facet of this game, as opposed to telling them how great they were. Defense was relentless. It seems the last quarter of the year, we started playing better and better defense - I might even call it suffocating at times. Loved how well Dorka can move laterally in space and guard out to the perimeter. Not sure many teams have a 6-5 kid that can do that. CW played defense like she was determined not to give an inch. I think we lost some energy in the 4th and I think GA would have better served the team by playing more minutes to the bench, in particular CD. I'm not sure what she did so terribly wrong to only get 4 minutes(I don't believe the game was too big for her), but she could have given us a breather and a lift. They are not all pretty but they count the same. Now we just need to build on it. I think we will blow Indiana out. I feel something coming together here...a real determined group who may not hit as many shots as you like but will scrap and claw and fight like hell for every inch of of the 94 feet. I just hope GA plays his bench more..it would be nice to have some fresh players on the court down the stretch of the 4th Qtr. [/QUOTE]
