liberty-mystics was a nailbiter

is it good or bad that everyone knew all along it would come down to aces vs liberty
― mookieproof, Wednesday, 20 September 2023 05:13 (seven months ago) link
bad for the regular season, but the finals will be great

also aces are cooking rn but stokes' lack of shooting is their major weakness offensively

this has been a great start to the game, just back and forth intensity and bucket-getting

i was wondeirng if anyone had made an a'ja wilson steely dan album cover shirt, and i discovered that she was named after the album?????
https://womenshoopsworld.com/2018/07/13/wilsons-father-also-adjusting-to-the-wnba/
Though Wilson is on her way to becoming a household name, that name had humble beginnings, in a European airport.“I went to a Steely Dan concert in either Sweden or France,” Roscoe Wilson said. “I always liked Steely Dan, and at the concert they had this album ‘Aja,’ in 1977. I just like the song, Aja. And the name, simple – you spell it backwards, forwards, same thing. I said, back then, if I ever have a daughter, I’m going to name her Aja. And I kept my word; when A’ja was born I said, we’re going to name A’ja, A’ja.”

right now:*johannes is going AWF*aces have no answer for jonquel jones on the offensive glass*jackie young outstanding*point god TOO QUIET
― oatly carmichael (m bison), Sunday, 8 October 2023 20:01 (six months ago) link
also becky's gonna need to find a new defensive scheme bc switching on screens is getting the libs some tremendous mismatches and they are capitalizing big time. stewart and jones are feasting on smaller defenders.
― oatly carmichael (m bison), Sunday, 8 October 2023 20:04 (six months ago) link
aces gotta figure out a way to own the libs
― symsymsym, Sunday, 8 October 2023 20:40 (six months ago) link
a: a'ja block the shit out of everyone
― oatly carmichael (m bison), Sunday, 8 October 2023 20:45 (six months ago) link
the downside of the aces short lineup is how susceptible they are to foul trouble, but it's not their conditioning at all. theyve been playing heavy minutes all year and they are running circles around the libs in the 2nd half.
― oatly carmichael (m bison), Sunday, 8 October 2023 21:04 (six months ago) link
libs looked totally fuckin cooked rn
― oatly carmichael (m bison), Thursday, 12 October 2023 02:30 (six months ago) link
they showed one quarter of fight, but folded in the second half. poor guard play and Stewart seemed mostly absent.
― sknybrg, Thursday, 12 October 2023 02:59 (six months ago) link
h8 2 say it bc she's such an exciting player, but sabrina has been AWOL in both games
― oatly carmichael (m bison), Thursday, 12 October 2023 03:04 (six months ago) link
yep, Vamdersloot too
― sknybrg, Thursday, 12 October 2023 03:20 (six months ago) link
vandersloot legit looked scared to shoot 3s last night, i could not tell what was going on
― oatly carmichael (m bison), Thursday, 12 October 2023 12:48 (six months ago) link
like maybe nyl has a role confusion problem. aces are a superteam, but they've played together for a while so there's a clearer sense of what everyone is there to do. the only libs player who seems to understand what she's supposed to do is jonquel jones who's been great. even stewie seems out of sorts.
― oatly carmichael (m bison), Thursday, 12 October 2023 12:52 (six months ago) link
also want to say a'ja is positioning herself to be in the wnba goat conversation very very soon and jackie young would be the best player on like every team not in these wnba finals
― oatly carmichael (m bison), Thursday, 12 October 2023 14:16 (six months ago) link
liberty coming out with appropriate energy, just way more locked in, aces are at least weathering the storm, but need to string together some runs and get momentum on offense. they're forcing a lot of stuff and getting to the line, but there's not much in the way of open looks.
― oatly carmichael (m bison), Sunday, 15 October 2023 19:46 (six months ago) link
feel like ny gave a good punch but aces still right in there.
― sknybrg, Sunday, 15 October 2023 20:03 (six months ago) link
jonquel jones has been unstoppable, good lord
― oatly carmichael (m bison), Sunday, 15 October 2023 20:35 (six months ago) link
JJ is on one, and Stewart’s defense? wowwee!
― sknybrg, Sunday, 15 October 2023 20:41 (six months ago) link
really really worried about chelsea gray's injury. hoping it's minor, but she looked like she was in a lot of pain.
― oatly carmichael (m bison), Sunday, 15 October 2023 21:08 (six months ago) link
doesn’t seem great
― sknybrg, Sunday, 15 October 2023 21:11 (six months ago) link
Took my girls to Game 3 at Barclay's, really fun. Great seats - lower level section one over from behind the hoop - for about the price of Broadway tickets on stubhub, grabbed them as soon as NYL won the series against Connecticut. Great crowd and atmosphere, really sweet. JJ and Stewie took over. Great game.

nice game to catch! even when i was out of the room, i could hear the crowd going nuts. i’ve had a blast at the few games i’ve seen and would love to catch a playoff game at some point

chelsea gray AND kiah stokes out for game 4, jesus christ.

wife was just reading that earlier tonight. not great, Bob
― sknybrg, Wednesday, 18 October 2023 01:51 (six months ago) link
theoretically theres enough firepower at guard between plum and jackie young, but theyre gonna struggle to guard jones and stewart when theyre out there together. clark is gonna get the starting job on the wing and will, and i'd bet cayla george is gonna start on jones. kierstan bell will get some small ball minutes, too.
― oatly carmichael (m bison), Wednesday, 18 October 2023 01:51 (six months ago) link
and will

this may not go well for the aces. turned the game on at 11 all, libs go on a 10-0 run
― sknybrg, Thursday, 19 October 2023 00:31 (six months ago) link
aces were hanging around until the last minute of the first half
― sknybrg, Thursday, 19 October 2023 01:01 (six months ago) link
this game is ugggggly but it might be the only chance the aces have
― oatly carmichael (m bison), Thursday, 19 October 2023 01:30 (six months ago) link
i cannot believe this. libs looked they were gonna run away with this.

Eh Gregg Doyel might be the local blowhard sports columnist, but I don't think he's on that side of the fence; think he's more of an ass than an asshole? Looks like he's already apologizing instead of doubling down. If this had been Dan Dakich, different story!
― ヽ(´ー`)┌ (CompuPost), Friday, 19 April 2024 03:05 (one week ago) link
yeah he made what is at least on the surface a genuine apology
― brony james (k3vin k.), Friday, 19 April 2024 06:14 (one week ago) link
he shd still banned from covering women's sports
― polyamerie "it's more than this 1 thing" (m bison), Friday, 19 April 2024 11:38 (one week ago) link
his apology column was pretty weird, his big takeaway was that he shouldn't talk to young women the same way he would talk to men
― symsymsym, Friday, 19 April 2024 14:38 (one week ago) link
oh I just saw his apology tweet I ain’t reading all that and feeding the main character

did he think he was asleep and dreaming of how he'd win caitlin clark's heart at a press conference? i have no other explanation.
