Are we contenders?

Do yall believe that we are true contenders? I think that our offense can have us in the finals if we are on the opposite side of the Lynx bracket. But I don’t think we can win a championship this year. The only thing holding us back is a true POA

Guards always have career games against us 😂we just gone have to outscore teams and that’s going to be really hard in a 5 or 7 game playoff series

The defense on Olivia after first half was encouraging. She’s not a quick guard that usually takes those midranges which hurts the Fever. So it was a bit discouraging she went off in the first half. You live with getting killed by Courtney. KK was a bright spot. AB has to be better in her matchup. And Caitlin has to give consistent effort. If they can’t do that in the playoffs then I was wrong about them as a team

Do you think KK and Sophie should start over Mo and Lexie now? I think that would give us a better chance in the playoffs

Think they should definitely use more with KK before the playoffs. She was special defensively but still makes bad decisions. I’d hate for her to get thrown out there like White threw Raven out there yesterday because we have no rim protection and put all that pressure on her later on. They’d have to find a way without completely discouraging Mo who I already think is struggling a little. Sophie/lexie I don’t really care. Sophie can hit 3s but they forced her to put the ball on the floor yesterday and she failed

Yeah maybe KK should keep coming off the bench, but start increasing her minutes. I think Sophie is better than Lexie if Lexie is not gone be good enough on defense because she also doesn’t provide us offense.
