CC wants to move future games to the United Center which would be cool. Doubt the Wintrust Arena would be happy about it.

This should have been done already tbh unless they had logistical issues with using the United Center. CC is right.

Re: Angel, sometimes I think that too, because she isn't some bad guy villain at all, she's embracing it for the sake of entertainment and to help drive interest, but I'd rather she just play her game and at the end her and CC dap each other up and say good game.

Angel gets it though. She wants this thing to grow. It's not about her right now it's about the little girls watching her that will end up playing in a bigger, more financially secruee WNBA 15-20 years now.

Enjoy. Liberty games at Barclay's are super fun

Thanks..really good and unique vibe. Big fan of Ellie and will def be coming back with the fam.

Also, Curt Miller’s style of coaching is the kind that infuriates me. He is a micromanager and everyone has is still fighting for spots in the rotation. He has absolutely no idea how to utilize the talent he has and may lose the team. Rickea got benched after 2 mins in the second half and she was rightfully mad. She is getting treated like a bum and given almost no room to make mistakes. All while watching the rest of this team play like trash defensively..much of which appears to be based on bad coaching (yes, in aware he won a coach of the year).

I saw that yesterday too. :noway: I know she's a rookie but you gotta let her play through some mistakes. She's too good to only play 16 mins

This will be my first time watching Clarke vs Reese.

Hope they both play well, because either way something from this game will become a major topic tomorrow lol

I feel that the Boston-Cardoso matchup will decide this one

Marquesha Davis off the bench with a couple of tough buckets for the Liberty.
Just because it happened to you, doesn't make it interesting.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

Mabrey and Cardoso already in foul trouble, not good. But Chennedy hasn't missed a shot, including that 3 so many people want

She is a flat out star. Strong attacks at the rim with good touch, relentless board work and excellent defense.

Of course they are.

People really be acting like women ballers have to play all proper like it’s a golf game or something lol.

It’s basketball…. It’s normal.
