Achilles heel

Even very good teams have an Achilles heel: that aspect of the game in which they are less than stellar, and which, if exploited by the opponent, puts them in danger of losing. One of the main functions of coaches of good teams is to make that heel area smaller so that opponents' opportunity is that much more difficult. We are not a good rebounding team, and probably will not be this season; but what we have to do is to cut down the rebounding deficit as much as possible, shoot a good percentage so they have less rebounding opportunities, and make sure that our turnovers are kept to a minimum so that the net effect is in our favor.
