    IMAGINE.

    Being in the finals, being the number 2 seed, taking on the champs who are missing two starters, and still being unable to get a must win W on your home floor. The salt levels have to be through the roof for the Liberty. That’s the type of loss that will stay with you forever.

      Turns out that it’s still pretty hard to win the finals against a generationally good team even with one or more of their starters out… (I’m thinking of 2019 NBA finals).

      That last procession was so sad. They were so fucking close. Literally .5 more seconds and that putback wins them the game (except A’ja would have probably got it let’s be real)

        That possession was dumb in general. Down 1 with like 16? no time out until like 8? Then you get a 1v1 with the mvp and don’t have her take a shot? instead run the clock and take a contested 3?

        Quick shot from Stewart there is a great possession.

          I was so confused by that. Who cares if it’s contested, Stewie should have just taken the shot. Shoot over the defender. Or drive and draw a foul.

          Frustrating to watch
