They need to get busy, but they 179 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 2: need that support. They need a full team effort that 180 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 2: they need to go out there. You know that we 181 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 2: can't lose this game too. Mentality call you lose that one. 182 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 2: It it's you in a bad way right now. 183 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 3: I think on defensively, Bonner is the problem. Bonner is 184 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 3: the problem. I feel like Stuiet and Laney needs to 185 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 3: figure out which one of us finna get her and 186 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 3: if you gonna get if you gonna get her, when 187 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 3: it's time for you to resk, I'm gonna get her, 188 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 3: but throughout the whole game, Like how because every time 189 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 3: I seen Stewie, I seen Alyssa Thomas, Like every time, 190 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 3: that's just what Yeah, that's just what we're finna do. 191 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 3: So they gotta do the same thing back to them, like, hey, 192 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 3: Bonna is the one. We gotta bring something to table 193 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 3: where it's like, man, we gotta make it tough for you. 194 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 3: Because she was going through her bag yesterday and she 195 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 3: played a perfect game. Not to the point where I'm like, all, 196 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 3: she got one of them thirty point games. No, she 197 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 3: played defensively, she played great offensively, she played great, she 198 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 3: made right decisions, she played defense as a team, and 199 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 3: you gotta disrupt some of that because that was a 200 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 3: nice game from them. 201 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: So what's your thoughts? Who you think gonna get this 202 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: game too? I got the Liberty. 203 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 3: I just can't see the Liberty going down two games 204 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 3: in a row, not with a player like Stewie, a 205 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 3: historical but like Stuwie on your team. I don't think 206 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 3: Stewie gonna let it happen, you know what I'm saying. 207 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 3: I feel like they just got punched in the mouth. 208 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 3: They thought, well, they can just have an easy spawing 209 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:07,959 Speaker 3: round and they like, nah, they got somebody in here 210 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 3: really want to fight, you know what I'm saying. And 211 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 3: I feel like they just had their guard down. They 212 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 3: played it cool because they didn't have the energy, you 213 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. And I feel like the crowd 214 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 3: was waiting on them to give it to him. Crowd 215 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 3: was ready waiting to give it to him, but they 216 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 3: just didn't have any you know, sometimes you have them games, 217 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 3: but right now, Game two is a must win for 218 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 3: the Liberty. 219 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 2: Those are my same thoughts for Game two, man, you 220 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 2: know what I mean. I like to see a series 221 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 2: go as long as possible, give me five games as 222 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 2: we can. So I definitely think, you know, like you said, 223 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 2: Stuwie and the whole everybody over there, with the Liberty 224 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 2: they got, they gonna come into Game two with a 225 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 2: sense of urgency. Not the Connecticut sign won't try and 226 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,679 Speaker 2: you know, be greedy and take that game too. But 227 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 2: I me Selfisley, I do want to see a five 228 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 2: game series, So I think the Liberty get it and 229 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 2: we be even at one one after this next one, Yes, sir. 230 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: I know, we gotta talk about that next series though. 231 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 2: The Wings versus the as Bro like we knew from 232 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 2: the beginning, or we thought from the beginning we gonna 233 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 2: see you know, the Aces and the Liberty with the 234 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 2: Wings and Son definitely are standing in the way. That 235 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 2: have something to say to that. But last night, game 236 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 2: one of the semi finals, the Aces took care of 237 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 2: business against the Wings ninety seven. 238 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 1: Or eighty three. 239 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,679 Speaker 2: They they pretty much dominated that game for most of 240 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 2: the first half. 241 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: But like, what did you think of the game? Black? 242 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 3: I thought the Aces deal with the Aces usually do. 243 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 3: I feel like when you play the Aces, you gotta 244 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 3: take one away, Like it's either you're finna give up 245 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 3: thirty or forty some points to Asia or you finna 246 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 3: let Kelsey and Chelsea and Jackie and all of them 247 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 3: get busy. 248 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 2: Yesse was cooling last night. She was kind of just chilling. 249 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 2: She ain't go total point goud, so they got that off. 250 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 3: But it's just like you can chill when you got 251 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 3: Jackie with nineteen ten and seven, you got you got, 252 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 3: you got Kelsey with twenty five five and four them 253 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:02,439 Speaker 3: numbers plus Asia half thirty four. To me, they need 254 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 3: to find out who's guarden age first of all, Like 255 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 3: who's guarding age I don't feel like Macawn, I don't 256 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 3: feel like Brown. I don't feel like they can guard 257 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 3: Asia when she's playing the center. They need to find 258 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 3: out what's her matchup, what it're gonna do. And then 259 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 3: once you find out who's her matchup, what we're gonna do. 260 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: Is we gonna double her? Is we gonna let her 261 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 1: play that that one over? 262 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 3: But it's hard to double if you're gonna give up 263 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 3: twenty five to Kelsey in nineteen and all this stuff 264 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 3: to Jackie. 265 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: This will make them a powerhouse. 266 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,199 Speaker 3: They're definitely a powerhouse, But I feel like you gotta 267 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 3: give a gift and the curse. What you're gonna live with, 268 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 3: you're gonna live with the jumpers. So you're gonna live 269 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 3: with Asia doing what she do. 270 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna live with the jumpers. 271 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 2: I'm not living with her going around me getting to 272 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 2: the basket, doing what she's doing the way she do 273 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 2: it like one on one. That's that's not gonna be 274 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 2: a successful like. 275 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: And that's to try and stop it. 276 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 3: And then if I was coach, that's the same strategy 277 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 3: I would use. I would take Asia out because Asia 278 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 3: brings a type for energy and the level that all right, 279 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 3: if Asia. 280 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: Going, did her throat, got jumping around, you. 281 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 3: Got you got Chelsea Gray, she diving up, she's just 282 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 3: chilling out, she's cruising. 283 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:14,719 Speaker 1: And then you got Jackie Young. 284 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 3: That don't miss So listen, listen. 285 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 2: That's why I'm saying, like me personally, before I start 286 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 2: letting her, she get that top of the keys. She 287 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 2: driving around the bigs Man, she too athletic, too fast 288 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 2: for them. You're gonna leave them on that island. Man, 289 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 2: that's barbecue chicken. Say that that's look. 290 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,559 Speaker 1: And then obviously Jackie Young and Kelsey and Chelsea all 291 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:39,959 Speaker 1: could shoot the ball. They all shoot. 292 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 2: But I'm a I'm a firm believer that I'm gonna go. 293 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 2: I risk that rather than letting her get to the basket. 294 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 2: And now she get going and her energy level come up, 295 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,679 Speaker 2: and now come the whole team come up. Now you're 296 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 2: gonna get Kelsey driving, You're gonna get jumpers, You're gonna 297 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 2: get all of this in one instead of just getting 298 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 2: one type of facet of it. Now you're about to 299 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 2: get the whole energy. They y'all partying on the bench. 300 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 2: Everybody is a party. You don't want that, Sadu a rik. 301 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 2: They gotta score more points than that. They gotta really 302 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 2: score more points. 303 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 3: The last round they played against Ryan, how they got 304 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 3: busy they was putting the points on the board. But 305 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 3: this is another round where they gotta put them points 306 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 3: on the board. They gotta put pressure on Plumb. They 307 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 3: gotta put pressure on Jackie. They gotta put pressure on 308 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 3: Gray to even get it even started. Rique Bucky Geller, 309 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,079 Speaker 3: you can't have no more twelve point. She gotta get 310 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 3: a dub and mode, like she gotta be extra extra 311 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,680 Speaker 3: aggressive and sado too, so sa too. 312 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,679 Speaker 2: I mean she obviously you know five fourteen, she couldn't know, 313 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 2: but she's sixteen seven and seven. 314 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: I mean that's a you know. 315 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 2: I mean, like you say, ri K, we definitely expect 316 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 2: twenty plus at least twenty five something like she's a bucket. Yeah, 317 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 2: twelve ain't well, you know that's not everybody. No, that's 318 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,839 Speaker 2: not a great night for her. But like sixteen seven 319 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 2: and seven, bro know that, like if you get some 320 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,319 Speaker 2: of the mother numbers up from other other people, that's 321 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 2: a that's a solid game. 322 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 3: Four six from the three word to my man Shaq. 323 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 3: When it comes playoff time, you need to add another six. 324 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 3: Maybe seven points to your average. You know what I'm saying, 325 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 3: because it's that time and you gotta give it your off. 326 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,719 Speaker 1: Not saying that she didn't have a good game or 327 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:15,839 Speaker 1: so for a fong, but. 328 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 3: All I'm saying that if you want to beat the Aces, 329 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 3: a Rique and Sato gotta go completely crazy the games 330 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 3: that they went crazy against Atlanta to get to the 331 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 3: where they at now, we gotta see it. 332 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 1: You gotta bring it all the way out to beat 333 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 1: the Aces. 334 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 3: And what I feel like if them being aggressive and 335 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 3: them scoring their points, that put pressure on Chelsea. 336 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 1: They put pressure on Jackie on they put pressure on. 337 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 3: Kelsey to play some d and get out there and 338 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 3: give a whole another look. But they need their best 339 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 3: two scores to have dumb games. Yes, if they feel 340 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 3: like they have a beating these as. 341 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 2: You gotta go mambo mode on them. She got it, 342 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 2: she gotta get to it straight up for game two? 343 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 2: What do you think has to happen for Dallas to 344 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 2: give themselves a better opportunity to be more competitive and 345 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 2: win this game, because, like like we said, it was 346 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 2: world domination. When Asia fifteen to twenty one, Bro fifteen 347 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 2: twenty one, thirty four points, that's dominant ineffishing. 348 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 3: If you're gonna play McCown, if you're gonna play Brown, 349 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 3: I would be so physical with Asia. I would focus 350 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 3: on taking Asia completely out the game, Like, all right, 351 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 3: if we're finna live with Chelsea and all them scoring 352 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 3: all these threes and hitting all these jumpers. 353 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: That's just what it is. 354 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 3: But to me, Asia is the engine that makes the 355 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 3: car go, you know what I'm saying, And I would 356 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 3: try to take her out the game offensively. I need Erique, 357 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 3: I need Sato to be the most aggressive day that 358 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 3: been all year. We're gonna live and die with our shield, 359 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 3: and we're gonna live and die with them to go 360 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 3: and crazy. I would put them in so many packages 361 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 3: to go at them, to make Kelsey, to make Chelsea, 362 00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 3: to make Jackie. 363 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 1: Play more, d use more energy, you know what I'm saying. 364 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 3: Out the playing d yesterday, they looked like they was 365 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 3: going through a practice and getting their stuff off and 366 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 3: going through the routine. 367 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 1: I would try to disrupt something. It all feels. 368 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 3: I feel like the Aces gonna get they gonna take 369 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 3: care of business again. 370 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 1: I feel like this is. 371 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 3: A funny matchup for Dallas, but I feel like It's 372 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 3: a needed matchup for them because this is a future 373 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 3: team that's gonna be great. 374 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 2: Okay, there's gonna be something they learn from my here 375 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 2: you Black, I hear you, man, the way that game looked, 376 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 2: I do. I mean, I like to wish it was 377 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 2: a five game series, but I do think that Aces 378 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 2: will get the game too, and I don't think it 379 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 2: will be a very long series. 380 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 1: But we'll see how it plays out. 381 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 2: Because, like I say, the point guard didn't even really 382 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 2: go off and they still won't handed me, so you 383 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 2: know that says a lot. Let's talk about these awards 384 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 2: so far, Black, You know, the only award, one of 385 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 2: the main awards yet to be announced is the MVP. Yeah, 386 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 2: and right now the finalists. 387 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 1: We got Brianna Stewart aka Stewie. We got Asia Wilson, who, by. 388 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 2: The way, has already been named the Defensive Player of 389 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 2: the Year for the second time. This is a two 390 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 2: time Defensive Player of the Year now, and the walking 391 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 2: triple double known as a list of Thomas who you 392 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,679 Speaker 2: gott in White, Black, I got. 393 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 3: A Lissa Thomas, Alyssa Thomas. It's like that year that 394 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,639 Speaker 3: Westbrook averaged the triple double. That's what I feel like. 395 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 3: This like what she's doing, I feel like the last 396 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 3: person I've seen doing it and having the impact on 397 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,360 Speaker 3: the game like that Tamika ketchings. That's what she reminds 398 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 3: me so much of a Tamika ketching because she does 399 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 3: so much, and even when she has the games where 400 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 3: you don't really see it all the way across the 401 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,119 Speaker 3: stat sheet, it's like her impact on the game was 402 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 3: still tremendous. So you know, I've seen Stuie MVP, I 403 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,200 Speaker 3: seen Asia MVP, and I'm definitely not trying to take 404 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 3: nothing from them future Hall of famers, but I'm just 405 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 3: room for a lista Thomas. I just like what she 406 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 3: brings to the tape and to do it with too 407 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:05,680 Speaker 3: basically dislocated shoulders, like any day she bump into somebody, 408 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 3: it could get located. Like that's just crazy to me. 409 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,200 Speaker 2: Man, Listen, I'm gonna tell you who I think she 410 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,120 Speaker 2: win and who I think will win. 411 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,399 Speaker 1: I think I think Asia should win again. 412 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean she's defensive player this year again, that 413 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 2: means that she's the best defensive player. 414 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:23,919 Speaker 1: That's huge. 415 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 2: And then to be a bucket and it mean as 416 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 2: much as she means to a team offensively, and she 417 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,680 Speaker 2: led them yet again to the best record in the 418 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 2: WNB only six losses, Yeah, only six losses. 419 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: They thirty four and six. They got the best record 420 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: in the league. 421 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 2: She's super super duperstar, So she's who I think should win. 422 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 2: But I think I think Stuie will win it this year, 423 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 2: and I think it's because she's did some all time 424 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:47,879 Speaker 2: stuff scoring. 425 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:49,360 Speaker 1: She scored the heck out of the ball. 426 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 2: They came and they flipped the whole table over what 427 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 2: the Liberty have done this year. They right behind the 428 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 2: aces and the rankings and everything. But I think the 429 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 2: New York market is gonna gonna be huge in that. 430 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 2: So I feel like all three of these ladies are 431 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 2: are MVPs definitely in regardless. I think they've had the 432 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 2: incredible season and whoever wins it, you know, the other 433 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 2: two aren't losers because I think they had unbelievable season. 434 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 2: They just a deserving But that's just I feel that 435 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 2: my pick would be Asia, but I feel Brianna will 436 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 2: get it. 437 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:22,920 Speaker 3: I feel that I want to say most improved SA too. 438 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 3: Like I remember her coming out of Oregon with Sabrina 439 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,680 Speaker 3: and I was always looking for these first couple of years, like, man, 440 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 3: where's satou at? Like she was nice? I thought she 441 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 3: was gonna be like nice in the league, but injuries. 442 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 3: Starting off with injuries, not getting the opportunity to really 443 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,360 Speaker 3: play short talent, she had to persevere through a lot 444 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 3: of stuff. But now seeing a full year of her 445 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 3: what she brings to the table, her being healthy this 446 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 3: year and having the type of year that she's had, 447 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,159 Speaker 3: I'm happy and I'm proud of her because been a 448 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 3: fan since college, and I always liked the game she 449 00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 3: had as a unique style. 450 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,719 Speaker 1: And you know, I know I love them small forwards 451 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:05,160 Speaker 1: because you know. 452 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 3: That's the best position in any league, you know, the 453 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 3: small forward there I played, So it's all it's all good, 454 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,199 Speaker 3: you know, But I'm just I'm just happy for her. 455 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 3: She get the opportunity to show her skills, because I 456 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,119 Speaker 3: know it's hard when you see a former teammate and 457 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 3: you know, Sabrina getting all this glory.

MVP Defensive 513 00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 2: Player of the Year Finals, MVP back. 514 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: I didn't feel like why not? 515 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:03,679 Speaker 2: I felt like once she did what she did, like 516 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,160 Speaker 2: she's established herself as that, and she didn't. She didn't 517 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 2: take a step back.
