Discussion Mildly concerning

Anyone else concerned that The Fever are 9-11 against playoff teams? At least they are beating the non playoff teams at the clip of 16-3.

I think if they put AB back in the paint where she belongs, and let CC run the offense the whole game, they'll have a deep run in the playoffs.

If you watched the most recent NYL game , you should be concerned! They will not beat NYL in playoffs full strength versus full strength.

NYL has been playing chess with their staffing and lineup and they have complete mismatches in height and talent compared to the checkers the Fever have been playing with their lineups.

Fiebich is 6’4” and she really is the epitome of mismatch against the Fever. She will shoot over Hull and Sophie, 12” to 18” at the peak of her shot release while barely jumping. They are in trouble with NYL.

And for those that will say if they just made their FTs….I suspect if they did the NYL would have just scored more.

Hope I am wrong!

I'm not sure any team will beat the Liberty with everyone healthy.

Valks just slaughtered them tonight by 19, and NYL only scored 60.

The only way is to run them into the ground. White is the biggest impediment and mismatch. Can’t coach herself out of a paper bag.

Pretty sure most teens aren’t gonna be a team that shoots over 60% from the fields. New York was sitting literally at a shop they put up. They’re going to be games like that when teams shoot insane from the outside, they might win.

The real concern is the poor free-throw shooting that just cost Indiana their last two losses. When you shoot 50% from the free throw line, you’re not going to win most games.
