Game tempo in Wildcats-Hawks series
It seems that tempo is a big talking point in this semi final series between the Hawks and Cats.
If you listen to the pre game talk, Bevo and his players are talking about creating so much pace that they want to get to 100 points.
On the other hand, Gleeson is talking about a war of attrition..A slow half court grinding game where the winning team scores in the low 80s or high 70s.
Watching game 2, you could see the game was played at a very very fast pace. The Wildcats were pushing the pace on almost every possession.
When you look at the rosters, you can see why each coach
wants a certain style.
My question is, why were the Cats playing at such a furious pace on Sunday?
How d they get sucked in to this? Why doesnt the coach remind them to slow it down? Dont the players know, follow the coached game plan?
