Is that we have been giving opponents a lot of time and space on the ball just outside the 18. Probably the last 3 games this appears to have started, but especially the last 2. Maybe the attack is getting caught a little high and we're struggling with transition, but you would think the defense would still step quicker.

I don't honestly know why it is happening. I just keep seeing opponent attackers getting uncharacteristic open looks and even being able to take an extra touch or two before shooting. We have been lucky no one has capitalized on this. If we can stop that (and play a general good game), I'm really optimistic and maybe even give us the edge.

If we can't stop that or if we make some dumb mistakes, then we could get punished in ways our last 3 opponents haven't had the skill to do.
