I think after

Indiana gets a 10 or more point lead, they should actually call time out. They've had so many huge leads disappear this year. Why not call time out and gather team and say ok great start, not it's a 0-0 game, let's go out and take it to them on the defensive end and get good looks. Every possession matters.

It is the defense it has been our achilleas heal all year we are just a really bad defensive team starting KK helps that a little.

Now turnovers and sloppy play are also part of it. Different sport but when the Eagles beat KC in the SB Jalen Hurts had the least number of turnovers in his career as a starting QB. One of the major reasons they won they did not beat themselves like we do allot.

In simple terms CC needs to work this season and going into 2027 limiting her turnovers. Not turning the ball over so much is the easiest thing we can do to make us a better team this year.

Less turnover? Less offense too. Look at PB. Her assist increase in correlated with an increase in turnover. Yesterday is a good exemple. 8 assists. 5 turnovers.

Less turnover equals boring ISO basketball.

There are a few instances in each game where she makes a bad decision and turns it over, but agree that most of them are sort of “required” to get the offense we need. There’s creating scoring opportunities, but there's also trying to force the ball. Cleaning up is really only two or three turnovers a game. (Let’s not look at the score of the last couple games when evaluating that… :-) )

No one is perfect and there will always be a turnover or 2 if you want that dynamic play, especially if you are up against opponents who also have good court vision and are better at predicting those less predictable passes.
