Canberra Capitals keen to share scoring load for Sunday's WNBL game against the West Coast Waves Canberra forward Carly Wilson admits the Capitals have been guilty of relying too heavily on captain Abby Bishop to carry the load on offence. The Capitals will be intending to take the pressure off Bishop and have contributions across the board when they host the West Coast Waves at the AIS Arena on Sunday. Bishop has been simply outstanding for the Capitals as the key focus of their attack while superstar centre Lauren Jackson continues her recovery from knee and hip injuries. The Canberra Capitals are keen to take the pressure off captain Abby Bishop in Sunday's WNBL game against the West Coast Waves. The 26-year-old is averaging 21 points and 13 rebounds per game as the Capitals have a 2-3 record through their opening five games of the season. Bishop had 29 points on 11-24 shooting and 14 rebounds in Wednesday night's 76-60 loss to the Sydney Uni Flames. Guard Alice Coddington was the only other player in double figures with 10 points. Wilson said the Capitals had enough talent on the floor to complement Bishop and to ensure opposition teams could not simply put all their eggs in one basket. "We've got people across the board that can score," Wilson said. At the moment, especially in Sydney, we get a little bit stuck where we pass it to Bish and then we stand and say, 'Go on, Bish, do it, we'll stand here and watch'. She's more than talented to do that, but it's a matter of girls, within the system that we have, trying to find ways to contribute offensively. The Capitals are eagerly awaiting the return of Jackson, who underwent an arthroscope on her troublesome knee on Wednesday. Jackson is still expected back on court before Christmas. "Right from the word go, we didn't know when Lauren was going to be back, so that's kind of been good in a lot of ways," Wilson said. For me, in particular, because I'm playing out of position at power forward until she gets back, I see it as a bit of a caretaker position. But you can't look at it too much like that because we don't just want to be getting by until she gets back. We want to be winning beause we've got the team that can do that. Along with improving their efficiency on offence, the Capitals are eager to lock down defensively after conceding some easy baskets against the Flames. "We don't want to be in a place where we're trying to outscore teams," Wilson said. We were so disappointed with how we played defence on Wednesday night, we feel like we need to redeem ourselves because we can't be out-hustled two games in a row. We've got to make a stand, especially because it's at home. The Capitals are back on the road for the next two weeks, a trip to Perth for a rematch with the Waves next week before playing the Dandenong Rangers in Melbourne. The Waves will be aiming for two wins in three days after a 72-61 upset of defending champions Bendigo Spirit on Friday night. The Capitals will wear a one-off camouflage jersey to raise funds and awareness for charity group Solidier On before Remembrance Day on Tuesday. SUNDAY: WNBL: Canberra Capitals v West Coast Waves at the AIS Arena, 1pm.
