Message: [QUOTE="hjoerring, post: 4801523, member: 3630"] I don't want to rain on anyone's parade but, talks about having 2-teams, and running other teams to death sound irresponsible to me. We have 4 upper-class wo/men: AE, PB, Nika and Aubrey. Of these 4, PB and Aubrey are the ones competing at a high level. Sadly, AE has not hit her stride-- perhaps overburdened by her tasks, being the sole big that must score, rebound and defend the middle. All this without fouling and sitting. Nika has regressed to making bad passes which are stolen, or result in her teammate picking up a useless foul. The problem for her is that teams are now picking her up early and she lacks the ball-handling skills to get by them. It slows her down as well as the team. AE is undersized meaning that she is extremely effective when she doesn't have a fixed defense and being doubled in the middle. Here comes trouble. The 3 1/2 or 4 freshmen are getting good experience and are playing, in my view, to their ranking out of HS. They will win the game for you one night and then be the culprit the next time, perhaps. Fair. Q might be fearless (as so many are saying), or you may say when in doubt shoot. Or, just shoot it period. Don't burden her by intimating that she is (now) a replacement for the injured ones. Hopefully, there will be benefits to reap when the BE tournament followed by the big one at year-end. I'm not pessimistic, but it seems useless to expect much from the injured players at this juncture. Fudd is out, CD should not be counted on (perhaps the hardest thing for an athlete is to say no more), Patterson??? Who knows isn't saying, but everyone else is pretending to know. Let us remember that PB and Aubrey have returned from serious illnesses. My point. let us deal with the players we have today and sneak out one or two ranked wins for a middle-level seed. [/QUOTE]
