Lots of great points in this thread. Agree wholeheartedly about the officiating not being good this game and the stuff about Anigwe's game. On some level, stinky offense or not (and it is stinky) we just have to make the open shots. In the post-game presser, Tara said we need more from Marta, Alanna, and Britanny, which yeah we do, but that means she has to put them in the game more. I don't like either Johnson in the high post with the ball. Instantly the defense sags. We can use Bird there. She is a threat to shoot from there, or play Smith a bit and let her play high post. She can shoot from there and keep the defense honest. Or even play McPhee at the 4 a bit and let her occupy that spot, from which she can shoot or drive.Â
Our offense is way too slow. We don't make the defense move enough. We wait for screens for too long. We catch a pass and think wait too long before deciding what to do. We should have been driving on Cal with our forwards, who are big enough to draw a foul rather than get blocked.
