Message: [QUOTE="LwrcasefaN, post: 3974415, member: 11185"] When the rest of the team played well...how many times did she get a triple-double? What teams did she get the triple-doubles against? And again...not saying she isn't great. She is. It's just too much of a load on one player over the course of a season. AT Oregon I think she had like 26 triple-doubles. I'm saying context matters. It's quicker to list the BEST of those 26 teams. The rest of the teams were NIT caliber...if that. Clemson (well...they were one of the better teams) UCLA Texas A&M Arizona (3 times) ..and not 2020 Final 4 Arizona... Stanford So if you count Arizona 7 of the 26 were against good teams. If you don't count AZ...then just 4 of the 26. Look at Russel Westbrook. Look at the success of the teams he played on. Over the course of a season...it amounts to a vulnerability because if one player carries that much of an influence...and in this case...not just in scoring...then that's a big chunk of what the other defense needs to focus on. Sometimes a team is so much better than the competition that their weaknesses don't get exposed until the competition improves. [/QUOTE]
