IMHO, it will take three things - one of which nobody has yet to do against us:
 
1. PROTECT the ball - if somebody can be even or better than us on TOs it will spell trouble. Nobody has been successful against us in doing that so far. Part of it is our pressure D and part of it is that most teams only have one or two guys who can really handle. On the other end of the court, so far, nobody has had a good enough on D to pressure our guys to turn the ball over w regularity. Scoop, in particlar, can really control the ball.
 
2. Out-rebound us - this is an achilles heel for us & it seems most foes can accomplish this. However, it has not resulted in more possessions for them (see above) to date.
 
3. Out-shoot us - this probably happens as often as not, but would be part of the equation in a given game.
 
Bottom line - items 2 & 3 happen w regularity against us. Item 1 relates to # of possessions, and any foe that can take away our advantage in that area will have at least a 50 - 50 chance to achieve one or both of the secondary items and come away w a W.
