Ended up going to game 1 of the finals! Brutal loss but they really draw a great crowd. Happy for jonquel winning finals MVP, well deserved. Was also cool seeing weatherspoon and wicks there last night.

If the call has some level of merit they're not going to overturn it to decide a game even if it's one they wouldn't typically call in game flow on review. Especially at home. NYL scored 5 quick ones in OT and Minny couldn't hit. Super close series and a deserved W.

stewie traveled before the questionable foul. and the lynx still had multiple opportunities to win the game and didn't. calls can suck - it's part of the game. either you overcome em or you don't.

no way to expect the kind of contribution we got from her all year. rook was the missing piece really.

I hope that Angel and TSpoon can work together again sometime, im so glad she showed up to support not only her but both teams.

angel is a pretty remarkable person. what she consistently goes through and how she shows up is really commendable. one of my favorite athletes.

Angel takes a ton of a abuse and holds her head high. Every time I see her interact with fans she's always kind and gracious especially to little girls. She is also really bright and forward thinking.

She has a long way to go before she reaches her peak as a player, but she is wildly entertaining on the court. Love how much chaos she caused this year on the glass

Leo is one of the best two way wings in the league.

It's gonna be hard to repeat, but another year of Jones/Stewie/Leo/BLH/Sabrina is a good as it gets. We just need to be sure we can restock our depth because we're gonna lose at least 1 or two players in the expansion draft. All i know is that Leo is going nowhere

Liberty games are probably some of the best live basketball experiences I've been to. The fanbase is so legit

Minnesota had more opportunities last night than any other game in the series to put us down and they didn't. That 10-20 2nd quarter did more damage to them than that call tbh.

Also, they got locked down in OT. Collier was a non factor. Multiple TOs.

People can cry all they want but we're the champions and nothing can change that.

22 yrs old and dealing with all she does is crazy. yet she carries herself with a lot of dignity and hasn't let the weight of all the hate grind her down. plus, like you said she is a dog in the paint. i'm a huge fan and root for her success.

The parade is going to be nuts

Would've loved to have been at the parade, but I'm nowhere near the city because of work. Can't wait to catch what I can.

I missed everything because of work. Back to back meetings and I had to put out a 5 alarm blaze. Being a Sr. Manager sometimes sucks

was the "parade" in the canyon of hoochies?

This was from some sauces...

New York Liberty star Sabrina Ionescu suffered a high-grade UCL tear on her right, shooting hand during Game 4 of the WNBA Finals, a source familiar with the situation told ESPN on Thursday.

Ionescu, who helped guide the Liberty to their first WNBA championship earlier this month, will be reevaluated in four weeks and is expected to make a full recovery.

So this explains some stuff...

Doesn't explain her selfishness... if you're hand is hurt that badly, don't take 19 shots and damn near miss all of them. Liberty should have lost that final game but they got bailed out. Sabrina was uber selfish in the final two games. At least Stewart played elite defense when her shot wasn't falling. Sabrina should just have been a decoy and set-up PG for the final two games. Instead, she went into hero mode and it almost tanked the season.

I am not upset at her trying to fight through it, but she was on the ball way too much when the ball should have been going to Jonquel on the block. Napheesa Collier looked like a small child trying to defend her ffs
