DB is off offensively, but Stewie hasnât eaten us alive yet, so credit to her defense.

Sue was out of the game, and Seattle extended their lead...not good.
We just have to start making our shots. Getting some easy looks right now.
Why does Loyd hate us?

The issue with the Storms bench is that Hughes got away with an all bench unit: Canada, Sami, KML, Langhorne and Paris in the regular season. This will NOT work in the playoffs.. |
My main issue with the Storm bench is not so much the players themselves, but the way they're used. I don't think Dan does a good enough job of integrating them with the starters. Playing too many limited players together is never going to bring the best out of them. Slot them in with starters and their strengths can be utilised without exposing their deficiencies so much.
(On the plus side, the rotations always shorten up during the playoffs so the weakness of the all-bench unit isn't so relevant anymore) |
amen. I thought that all year. Just play a couple of reserves at a time.

When bird looks for her shot this team looks unbeatable.

So..Talbot on Bird is not a good move..
Merc just need to stop turning the ball over and make some shots.
Sue can get passive, anytime she wants.

But January on Lloyd has been excellent. Does she sub Talbot for Turner? Turner is not really contributing on the offensive end. Talbot is at least rebounding like hell.

Talbot does a lot for the team, but yeah.. the screens are killing her..although, unless itâs Brit, we should just switch.
Also could put Bonner on Bird, and Talbot on Stewie.

Or Talbot on Clark and DT on Birdy. DT is a bad defender but she knows how to defend other PG s and she knows Bird like no other

Thatâs not fair to do to DT though. Sheâs responsible for so much on offense, canât have her running around screens too. (While only getting a minute rest.)
