Welp, beat that ass without two starters. This team is way deeper than last season.

Not exactly what I'd call an efficient game, but down two starters, you take the W any day of the week on good defense.

Our depth is crazy right now when you look at it.

I kinda low key hope that Stewie doesn't have to play a lot in the Olympics.

Not that anything this year is to overlook, but next year in terms of depth they'll have Johannes and Han Xu back with Phoenix's pick.

Shameless statpadding, whether it Giannis, Caitlin Clark, Ricky Davis. Good to see the Liberty defend against shameless record grabbing.

I'm gonna be honest, the Angel stat padding attempts in the past 2 games were embarrassing. Am hoping that junk is over with. Also, let's stop making such a big deal about double-doubles, whether it's hers or Clark's. Scoring 10 points is meh. If you want to make that stat mean something, the hurdle should be at least 15 points.

Take it from a Bull fan. Vuc was a double-double machine last season, as Stacey King would always let us know, and he was absolute garbage, among the worst starting centers in the NBA. So we know about the "value" of double-doubles.

I have never seen a professional basketball player do what Reese did in the final seconds of those two Liberty games.

I've seen it happen before. I would hope that Coach 'spoon pulled her to the side and spoke to her about it.

Yeah, it's one thing to want to keep your streak going, but the time for that was during the meat of the game, not at the end when it was clear that the game was over and your team lost. That isn't leadership.

I hope this was a teachable moment for her. She's young, after all. Gotta tighten up Angel.

I'm trying to keep myself from being too excited, but this team looks like they can win it all. Just gotta stay healthy

Wait Han Xu is coming back??????? I miss her she was a good backup C and she had nice touch outside

Johannes should be allowed to play. The fact that players are suspended because they're trying to earn money outside of the league is absurd.

I know they're both out because of national team duties for China and France. I could be wrong, but I'm fairly sure Liberty still hold both of their rights.

God I hope we can bring them back next year. Johannes is right up there with Arike imo in terms of the entertainment factor off the dribble

Yikes...to pull a "Ricky Davis" once is a very bad look but to do it two (2) games in a row??? Embarrassing for sure.

She has always been a "me first" player and that resonates not only with her teammates and the fans, but also the ladies throughout the league. This was apparent from the response by the Liberty.

It's going to be very tough to keep the title from the Liberty this year. They are a very, very good basketball team and should be with that roster of talent.
