Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 4490241, member: 12088"] It looks like you're assuming that the pieces don't fit together into a whole. [B]With those players out, Aubrey's task gets a lot harder, not easier.[/B] I'd have loved to see her step up, too. But with only Lou on the perimeter and a depleted front court, ND packed the paint -- why wouldn't they? -- and Aubrey's slashing game became impossible. Ebo's main weakness (slow feet) became a virtue as she barely had to move at all to shut Aubrey down. If Azzi and Caroline are in the lineup, suddenly the paint can't be packed, and ND can't afford to give Ebo so many minutes, and with Dorka in the game in a clean lane (as Rebecca Lobo likes to say) we get much better paint production from Aubrey and Aaliyah too. and perhaps we even see more of the transition game, which is Aubrey's bread and butter. If we meet ND again with all our pieces intact, I expect a very different game from Aubrey and everyone else. [/QUOTE]
