The WNBA Thread: Liberty vs Lynx in the finals

Game 1 STARTS NOW

I think I’m leaning Liberty here but it doesn’t really matter to me that much

 

I am here for a Stewie redemption series here

11 pts in the 1Q for her

 

These refs have been absolutely atrocious man

 

Stewie with 20 at the half

At this point, theres no reason for Becky to have Kiah Stokes in the game in the 2nd half

 

NY's done a great job frustrating Wilson so far

 

gonna need a big 4Q by my ROY pick Leonie Fiebich for the Liberty

 

FOURTH QUARTER SAB IS IN THE HOUSE

The Banks

 

STEWIE!!!!!

 

that JJ block on A’ja was something special honestly

 

Okay I lied

I’m all in on wanting this Aces season to end honestly

besides A’ja this team is very hit and miss and Hammon and the organization are putrid human beings

 

not sure there's anything LV can do. it wasn't like NY played out of their minds to take that win, it was very in line with how they've played all season. Wilson is doing more than her share of carrying LV nowadays it feels like and if she has a quiet or off night that's usually curtains for LV and she was very quiet this game.

NY vs MN feels like the way the season ought to end.

 

Vegas not doing anything this offseason rearing its ugly head right now

Interesting to see how Becky addresses their post situation in Game 2 because A’ja can’t continue to guard both Stewie and JJ basically.

I would like to see Gustafson in at the 5 for a bit just for some extra offense

 

Chelsea Gray is another big question for the Aces after game 1

she seemed fine for the Storm series but today she fell back down to her usual post injury play

without her, I don’t see how the Aces win this

 

Money Mabrey gets the start again for the Sun as Ty Harris is out again

 

That was a tough 1Q for the Lynx as the Sun have done a good job in limiting the ball movement for them and stagnating their offense

 

Phee and my girl Bridget are the only ones hitting shots for the Lynx too

 

God I love Bridget Carleton

 

Lynx did better in the 2Q but once DB and Mabrey got on the floor for the Sun it went to shit

 

Money Mabrey is fucking ridiculous

 

She was their best perimeter player imo. I think it was a locker room deal but its Chicago so much like with Dallas players often are better once they get into less toxic organizations

 

Spike Lee always talking that shit to folks who'd body him.

 

man what a huge 5 points at the end of the 3Q for the Lynx

this final 10 minutes is going to be great

 

AT did not just clinch this game with a shotput shot

I’m gonna be sick

 

what the fuck was that Minnesota

 

That look on plums face…

 

Jimmy Butler in shambles

 

Liberty goes up 2-0

Lynx tie it up 1-1 hopefully

 

Aces make a change

out goes Kiah thank god

in goes AC at the 4

 

Gonna need to see something from Chelsea then

 

some ticky tack fouls called on both sides so far

boooooo refs

 

On the other end, the Liberty offense just looks out if it

partly due to the Vegas D so far

partly due to Sab being her typical bad self so far

 

they're really harassing Wilson. Gray's gonna have to stay this hot or A'ja has to show up or NY will wear them down eventually.

 

what a end of the half by Sab after a horrendous start

also great minutes from Kayla Thornton really coming up clutch

A’ja needs to stop passing the ball and be more assertive when she has an open shot

 

Put Kiah Stokes in concussion protocol after banging heads with Jonquel Jones

jesus man
