Was so bummed that they lost. I was not impressed by the way Cooper reacted to the pressure from her former guard teammates. They knew her weaknesses.
Smith n Egbo didn't post up / position themselves for success either.
Boston pushed them around.
Boston is a very physical player. Smith is a finesse player so you should not expect her to be physical. This is something this year's team will have to adjust too. With Brown on the floor, Smith could play to her strength. She did not have to be physical. That would have to fall on DeGrate and Egbo. Smith is a slasher to open space. She is not going to create space with her body against really strong post players.
