This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Could be the GS Warriors blueprint. by ndbutch

When they were good of course.

I don't believe that the Miles/HH pairing is going beyond next season barring injury. Their presence makes it a team that's going to push the ball. I believe that plays more to Kings strengths than Kate's right now. I don't believe K. Watson will be available in 24-25. King, with Koval in reserve, would alleviate the necessity for Maddie to go bump and grind in the post as soon as fouls become an issue. Taking away from her offense. Koval can do that. Maddie in a real emergency. They are going to play mostly zone in their set defense. King, based on what I saw of her vs the Irish, doesn't need plays run for her to be effective. She's also been a better rebounder than anyone ND has outside of Maddie and Olivia. Olivia's impact on rebounding is a factor sorely missing last season.

Any team with HH is going to apply defensive pressure. But HH along with a healthy Cass, KK and Citron would make it possible for longer periods. Making the cliche about turning turning defense into offense a reality.

Hopefully a healthy Emma Risch and another shooter would complete things.
