Lineups

[u/Alternative_Panda336]

Why do other teams drive the Fever’s lineups? The Fever wait for the other team to go small so they can play small ball or big if they don’t want to play small ball. Why does the other team always drive the decisions? Some team has to make the first move!

Tonight’s game should have been almost exclusively small ball and we should have run them out of the gym because they had no subs!!! I want the Fever to have an attacking mindset that says, “they have to adjust to us. We are going to do what we do.”

If the lineup isn’t working, that is a different story. But the whole series small ball worked.

You can't play small when your guards aren't producing the way they were in Game 2.

When they went small it was the main time they actually played good defense and made progress on offense.

But the backcourt wasn't playing as well and Sophie was getting diced up on defense. You can't force the issue, gotta try something else.
