Message: [QUOTE="TheFarmFan, post: 3241391, member: 9403"] Basketball is a game of streaks, and almost all players have slumps, so I'm not sure I'd worry too much (and her reduced minutes may just be the coaches' recognition that a slumping player isn't as useful on the floor). But one thing to consider is that her slump/their losing streak has come against several of the top teams in league: Seattle, Chicago, and Connecticut. Indeed, 8 of the Liberty's last 9 games have come against teams in the top half of the league standings. So part of that is just that Nourse will shine a bit less when she's taking on the very best competition. I imagine she'll play her way out of it, and having their next five games be against Minnesota, Dallas, Phoenix, Indiana, and Atlanta will help, because those teams are the other five teams in the bottom half of the league alongside New York.
