@TraeK_@j_stylezzzz agree with this tbh. outside noise also makes everything look worse than it is. If they win the fire and mystics games, the narrative is better. also hard to gauge anything when caitโs shot is so broke rn. They just need a run so they can tell the press to go to hell. ๐
People always exaggerate. cait is getting anywhere she wants on the offensive end. She is just missing. Her running floater from the right used to be money and she has made maybe 2 all year. Same for the fading away middies. Part is rhythm, part is confidence.
cait generates so much emotional investment from both fans and critics. It kind of reminds me of early steph/warriors in a way. also almost close to pop-star-level sometimes. zero chance itโs healthy for her.
@4Cobey because all her shots are too hard. look at the way they used to generate looks for her. If you watch iowa tape too, itโs similar to this. now itโs all tough step backs for some reason.
@Ser_Dweeb for your space later today. look at the various ways we used to generate c&s shots for cc. is there a reason we have resorted to so much iso when frankly it has never been a strong part of her game. the few times we have run c&s for her, its mostly when she is struggling. 1/

that is my problem with the offense. Everything is too iso focused and too self created. wonโt ever work for her. I donโt even think it works for km either but she is just such a special scorer, itโs hard to tell.
that was cait's best game, to me, this year tbh. I just loved the attempted cuts and off ball movement when ab had the ball. and driving left with purpose. we just need 2 games of magnet ball to get efficiency back.
