2024 WNBA PLAYOFFS Discussion Thread (WNBA Finals: New York Liberty vs Minnesota Lynx; NYL WIN 3-2)

Liberty doing a great job denying the lynx the shots they want by collapsing and recovering. Also owning their offensive glass. Lynx need to get back to setting good screens and ball movement.

They need to stop these interviews when the players are out of breath.

i hate it

interview the coaches at halftime and the players postgame

we don't need this in game stuff

[Rich Rane]

Great adjustment pressuring Sabrina early in the quarter. Liberty need to let her bring it up the court and let her run the offense early.

An actual good timeout by Brondello.

[ellobo]

Turn back the clock, Courtney Vandersloot!

[hermes]

phee has to just go up there, need more from her on offense

[MrDollarBills]

Swing the ball!!!

Yeah there are way better ways to highlight the players

[hermes]

just need to chip away

[MrDollarBills]

Call time out

[MrDollarBills]

Horrible. Absolutely dreadful execution.

[hermes]

now we're talking

[Rich Rane]

How's that a legal screen?

[MrDollarBills]

Oof. Brutal screen and call

[Sealab2024]

If the Lynx can go into the half within 10 that'd be a huge win.

Things getting chippy

[cdubbz]

Liberty so sloppy on offense right now

[hermes]

we've gotten the ball right to the rim a couple of times and just pass out of it. i know they are taller but just go up and see what happens, might get a foul call

[hermes]

much better second quarter

[MrDollarBills]

This is awful please stop shoving a mic in their faces after they just have played hoops.

People can't say the WNBA is growing when there hasn't been any talk about these games since Clark was eliminated.

These Nat'l debate shows haven't said one word about this finals matchup.

The only person growing is Clark. I have been following the WNBA this year and I can't even name you a single player off the Lynx roster.

Maybe if they talked about more players other than Clark we would follow the sport. This doesn't happen in other sports. All players get shine not just a single player.

Do better Nat'l media. And people wonder why the players hate on Clark. She's the only one that matters to the media.

So you follow the W, but you don't know who Napheesa Collier is? Nah man you are missing out on an all timer. We've been raving about her non stop. She's absolutely fantastic.

Honestly I don't care if they talk about the finals on the debate shows, because every time they do talk about the W they spread toxicity and division between the players. Stephen A and Shannon don't watch games but they sure do have strong opinions.

Also, it's fine either way. The league is growing. Viewership is up and these are non CC games. That means fans who joined in because of her are enjoying the overall product. The growth is happening regardless of ESPN and FOX.

Im a casual. Only the diehards might know Napheesa Collier.

My thing is with the media. They tell us the sport is growing, but they not talking about the players actually growing the game. It's just Clark with a sprinkle of Reese. They should talk about the other great players in the WNBA. That's how you get people tuned in.

Liberty still getting good looks, just not going through the net. Fiebich in particular went cold on wide open shots. Stewie missed Sabally down low too.
