Tbh a lot of the frontcourt issues stem from Bri not being healthy. Angel’s been forced to play the 5 most of year, while Karl stubbornly plays Naz like 30 min a game. Naz is a fine floor spacer, and communicates well but she is simply too small on defense and teams are attacking her. Even when she plays good defense, her opponent easily shoots over her.

Angel has finishing issues yes, but the defense/rebounding tends to fall apart when she’s off the floor.

Bri’s injury has put this team in a tough spot this season because two starting bigs are basically playing out of position. And Karl refuses to play Madina in favorable matchups.

Dan (GM) is going to have to make some decisions in the offseason.

Nobody wants to say it but JC has been pretty terrible post All Star break. She’s shooting sub 30 from the field over the last 5 games and the offense looks so unorganized. She passes up open shots which leads to turnovers or gives her teammates grenades. She’s averaging 5 turnovers after the break which is just unacceptable. Hard to win games against good teams when your starting PG can only drive, doesn’t shoot, has trouble seeing floor, and is now coughing up the ball at an alarming rate. She’s also a size disadvantage against most starting PGs and gets attacked in PNR.

Hopefully she bounces back and cuts the turnovers but unfortunately against better coached teams (like in playoffs), I don’t have high hopes.

It’s concerning how poorly she’s shooting from the line. Is it the goggles? I remember in one game she got wacked (against the Sun I think), the goggles broke and they gave her a different pair and she was missing FTs. They’re not prescription. She wears them for protection.

Is it fatigue? Are they doing something with her shot too? Hopefully these free throw issues sort out soon.

For OG Dream fans, does her shot at the line look different to you?
