4 out, ball motion, either a layup or 3. The Liberty are dragging the WNBA into modern ball, whether the rest of the league wants it or not.

YOU SEE the VISION :nod:

But to your point, we put up a ton of threes in that game. It's pretty fun to watch because we still mix in Jonquel's inside game and Cloud's slashing ability.

That's fantastic.

Lynx-Wings opener also got 640K.
Not a massive number and it was Paige's debut, but it was also a Friday night on ION up against an NBA Playoff game.

Between college, the draft, and the 2024 W, the numbers all seem to be pointing upwards. Caitlin is going to draw massive numbers, of course, but even outside of that the trend is up pretty significantly.

Definitely an uptrend. I considered watching Lynx-Sun tonight instead of the NBA playoff game, but I won't because I'm not interested in the Sun. But that I even thought about it is massive change from 2 years ago, when I did not even know who was in the WNBA Finals.

Lynx are my favorite of the teams that have a shot to win it all.

But the Sun are fun.
Rooting against Tina or Saniya will always be difficult for me. And Marina is always fun, of course.

We'll see if they can pull this off, but they ain't as bad as people think.

She's so good.
Seems like most teams in the league would be thrilled to have somebody like her.
