Over the last seven games the Fever have given up an average of 94 a game. Just can't expect to win often with that poor of a defense.You can't give up 90 points to the Sun and expect to win.
The Fever are dead last in the league in forcing turnovers. Opponents 3P% is 36.1 - only Dallas is worse.
Sides defensive scheme is a sagging, passive mess. It is not a proactive defense, it's a get out of position and chase defense. She has no idea how to cool off a hot shooter. Earlier in the year Clark defended Mabrey very well. What happen today was puzzling.
Bluder was not known as a defensive coach, but Iowa's defense was light years better than this crap.
Sides is a below average coach. And, based on her refusal to take any responsibility for any coaching decisions, it's apparent she thinks she's an elite coach. Dunn needs to sit her down for a talk.
