Message: [QUOTE="ochoopsfan, post: 4042761, member: 420"] The Storm need to have Russell take more shots. These are the # of fga taken by the starting Centers and Forwards on the top 4 teams. [B]Conn.[/B] Bonner 360 JJones 307 [B]Vegas[/B] Wilson 377 Cambage 253 [B]Seattle [/B] Stewie 417 Russell 122 [B]Minnesota[/B] Collier 300 Fowles 267 Thats a 300 fga drop from Stewie to Russell. Kind of makes it easy if the other teams slack off Russell, if they arent feeding her the ball. Might be better if Magbegor starts vs Russell as she is more aggressive and can put the ball on the court and drive more than Russell. When so much of your offense relies on 3 players, expect those 3 players to wear down sooner. The rest for Stewie and Bird, for 2 games, doesnt appear to have a significant benefit. Loyd looked exhausted in the 4th qtr of the game at NY that she scored 35 points . Loyds first 3 games since the Olympic break showed points of 26, 35, and 29. Her last 4 games since she has scored 8, 15, 12, and 10. The Olympics have appeared to taken a bigger toll on the Storm then other teams. If they dont start winning they could drop to 5th place and thus be put in a one game playoff, ugh. [/QUOTE]
