***CC22 and the Fever mega thread***

[NORTHSTAR]

Back to the turnover debate. John Wooden stated:

“If you’re not making mistakes, then you’re not doing anything. I’m positive that a doer makes mistakes.” –Coach John Wooden​

He also said he wanted his teams to have about 12-14 turnovers a game.

His teams played on the edge - never conservative or safe.

I just looked at the Final Four box scores for four of his best national championship teams from 1968 - 1971. Those teams averaged 21.25 turnovers a game in thier 8 Final Four games. It's an amazing stat for UCLA teams as talented and well-coached as those. Here are the games and TO stats -

1967 – 68
v. Houston – 23 TOs
v. North Carolina – 26 TOs

1968-69
v. Drake – 21 TOs
v. Purdue – 19 TOs

1969-70
v. New Mexico State – 20 TOs
v. Jacksonville – 23 TOs

1970-71
v. Kansas – 24 TOs
Villanova – 14 TOs

It's no coincidence that the WNBA TO leaders are all among the league's top players.

I swear, some people seem to think zero turnovers for a point guard is the ideal. It's not.

He also said "be quick, don't hurry".

I

I didn't say anything about the offseason.

Taking stress off CC allows the rest of the team to round out (develop), while preserving her health.

Why is it that no one ever seems to have a clue what I'm talking about?

It’s equally as brutal on her body coming off screens (as we’ve seen) than it is having her handling the ball. Playing her off ball is not going to preserve her health unless they just ignore her. At lease Christie Sides sent video to the front office to try and get help…I doubt White has done anything like that.

My dad used to yell at me to “do something, even if it’s wrong.”

This is asinine, as are most of your posts.

CC has the 2nd highest usage % in the WNBA this season (which would also rank her top 25 all time) and you constantly whine about her hot having the ball enough.

And you think the Fever will trade her after next season?

She has a high usage percentage when she takes over, not when she’s stuck down in the corner. And I think they may trade her next year if she tells them she’s not going to sign with them….they will want to get something for her. And I guess I could make my posts even more asinine by using laughing emojis like a 12 year old girl.

More nonsense from you. Her PER is 19.7, which is 2nd on the Fever behind Boston's 23.7

She's not even close to the top 10 in the league:
Wilson 32.17
Plum 27.72
Howard 26.51
Miles 24.41
Mack 23.92
Shepard 23.89
Boston
Sabally 23.09
Stewart 23.03
Iriafen 23.38

She was #2 prior to the last game according to basketball reference.

She was #2 prior to the last game according to basketball reference.

You just might the dumbest person on this site if you really believe her PER dropped from over 27 to less than 20 in just one game.
