Now is the time.

Liberty defense with all of the length, except Sabrina, looking very tough to start the game. Betnijah is giving Jordin Canada hell.


Yep.

Jones/Stew Dog/Leo/Betnijah/Sabrina is a BIG 5 and I love it.

Officiating is a joke - Boston wasn’t in the same zip code for that foul by Hull.

Fever @ Sun!!

Refs already effing up and calling a foul on Boston when she wasn't in the play. Fever have to use a challenge so the refs get the call right. It honestly wasn't even a foul on anyone on the Fever. Thomas just fell backwards.

I'm on expansion player watch:
Dream: Haley Jones & Ezinne Kalu. Haley jones just doesn't have an impact on offense outside of being able to handle the ball, good passer, can make entry passes, but has no offensive bag. Kalu almost has no information on her on the Dream website lol. undrafted rookie, but her defense in the 4th quarter was tough

Liberty: Sabally Can't tell so far. lol

AT is a carbon copy of one my all-time favorite players - George McGinnis

YES! Lexie Hull reads RealGM posts confirmed. She took a jumper after her drive and made it. She usually passes it off after blowing by her defender. Good job. She needs to stay aggressive to keep the defense honest.

This is basically a refereeing exhibition with occasional basketball.

The Fever is getting torched on fast breaks. Get back, people! And yes, I have at last joined the fire Christie Sides movement. If Katie Lou is playing, Sides should be out. And Katie Lou is playing.
