Not exactly what I wanted, but I thought we made a little bit of progress from some of the initial jitters, working into the flow of this level, just working those things out. I don't like to necessarily base my performance on points, because like Coach was saying, there's a lot of ways you can impact the game, so that's what I try to do. I try to get some assists, get some rebounds, force some tough shots. Overall, I thought I filled the stat sheet a little bit in certain areas, but I'm definitely not satisfied with where I am. I want to keep getting better and keep getting more consistent and staying out of foul trouble too.

With all eyes on Maya, Amber Harris will certainly have opportunities to turn heads.
THE CAVS SHALL RISE AGAIN...
BEAT THE HEAT.
Let's go Lakers! 2012 Champions!
Like I have said previously...
Those expecting an other worldly experience from Maya Moore this season is going to be disappointed. It is going to take her a longer time to adjust than people realize.

Good point
But why do you think that, as someone who watched her more closely than most all season?

Maya struggles...
when players are stronger, faster, taller. She can revert to a jump shooter who will avoid contact.
She can be a liability on the defensive end and pick up silly fouls, forcing her to sit.
Besides that this child has lost 6 games in high school and college. There is a humbling experience that a loss teaches. Sue Bird, Diana Taurasi and Rebecca Lobo how hard it was to adjust to losing. Lobo talked about crying for hours after the USA or NY losing an exhibition and none of her teammates understanding why she was upset.
Besides that she is back to playing with Charde Houston. I am sure that is driving her bat-crazy.
