Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 3458495, member: 10435"] I think the biggest concern is what the offense will look like when it encounters a defense that will force us to play a half court game. If we shoot the way we have been it won't matter but a top tier defense may slow down the movement on offense which slows down the open spaces, looks and shots. When you watch the reply of the Houston game you will see bad passes and mistakes coming not only when we were running which is expected but also in the middle of a non-movement half court set. Mistakes off of fast breaks do not usually lead to fast breaks the other way but bad passes in a half court set frequently do. If our defense is the way it has been and it leads to offense I think the speed and transition game with a 5th scorer ( even assuming an average game from CW) will be difficult for anyone to stop or even limit. The defense in the last few games is what transformed us as a team and especially Anna as a player and now as a scorer which she always was but suddenly the light went on with "Hey, I can do this". So I actually agree with Tonyc and veryolddog at the same time. We know what we looked like against the top 3 teams before but we don't know what will happen now. I do know this though. None of those teams have transformed to the extent we have. That is why I am cautiously optimistic. It's a brand new season for us within the same season. [/QUOTE]
