    Korea Express Hi-pass vs IBK Altos

    i may not be the tallest,
    the fastest, or the strongest,
    but at least i can do one thing better than anyone else,
    to be me...

    I watched the match. I was really happy for D. but on the other side really sad for Nicole. The huge gap between IBK Altos and Korea Expressway were the korean players. IBK looked less strong than last 2 seasons to me, but still stronger than the opponents. Number 13 (MB) and 12 (left handed, but very short OP) were the 2 players i liked the most form Korea Expressway. Poor Nicole, scoring like a machine and winning nothing in the last 3 seasons. ;(


    IMHO both Nicole and D. should be NT players this summer. I like Murphy, I really do, but these girls looks on another level lately. Not to mention how strong D. was before her pregnancy.

    Hooker seems to be in an amazing shape again :white: Would be interesting to see who will be on Karch's last choice as OPP.

    Quote from NobodyKnows

    Right. It's what it seems. Fawcett had a great season. It's a shame passing was falling apart so bad throughout the finals on her side.

    I don't think passing was the main problem; in the last 2 of the 3 matches Hipass had even better reception than IBK. It's just that IBK is a wrong match-up for Fawcett really. She's never played well great against Kim Hee Jin's blocking and Nam Jie-youn's defence throughout the season.


    In the regular season she's surely the MVP of the league, but in the playoffs she missed far too many easy balls.

    In fact, my point is that passing has gone down at any oportunity to comeback.


    On Fawcett, I think she was playing alone in the finals. The team was in bad shape while IBK was great. She couldn't do better than this. :thumbup:
