Verdict: the diviest bar in my small town

Of course I need to request the game to be put on. Bartender laughs and says it’s a first for someone to request the W. Guess I’m a pioneer. :lol:

Horrible offensive execution. And Coach NashBrondello does nothing.

Why does Jonquel always hold the ball low enough for every defender to get to it?! Sheesh. None of the defenders can get to them if the ball is up high!

The Liberty are done. Stewie and Sabrina have been horrible and we're absolutely disjointed on both ends.

Stewie is missing Jones on a ton of rolls and cuts. JJ is also the only person taking anything anyway from Phee. After the season, maybe they need to reconsider who the focus of the Liberty team is…Stewie and Sabrina look shook

Horrible. Absolutely horrible.

No execution, no leadership from anywhere. What a waste of a season.

per that announcers' recap: is the lesson that coaches are going to learn from this series that you can just complain about the refs to the media and then you'll get more favorable calls the next game?

feels like that shouldn't be the case

The longer this goes into the second half the more pressure is gonna load onto NY. Lynx need to keep doing what they're doing. The refs need to stay out of determining the outcome as well. That foul on Courtney and the travel on Carleton were suspect.

I’m just always surprised it’s so close when both Sabrina and Stewie struggle. I’m actually a bit afraid for the Lynx.

Fun game though!

We should be down by 20 points.

I don't know what else the players want to do tonight but they've got to figure it out early in the 3rd.
