Watching Moriah play last night was really something special. In my "misspent" youth I was a pool player/hustler and during the mid 80s was able to live "off the grid" on my winnings for several years. As I matured I realized the price one had to pay to live that kind of life was more than I cared to pay. However, my point is that I was a fairly good player at one time and I remember times where the game just seemed to slow down and become almost ridiculously easy. We (pool players) referred to these stretches of almost effortless play as being "in dead stroke". Based on her performance last night, I believe Moriah is in "dead stroke"! The game seems to be instinctual to her now and she is able to just play without thinking. I believe this is going to be a special year for her! She may be the most dominant small player, women's basketball has ever seen! God willing she stays healthy, I think she will win the Player of the Year award and Breanna will be truly and sincerely happy for her. Two transcendent players on one team! Amazing!
