The Liberty should've continued what makes them successful which is to let Sabrina Ionescu, and Breanna Stewart take over games because teams like Minnesota will not allow Jonquel Jones get a rhythm so the Liberty will have to improvise against Minnesota one way or another
trying to force the ball to jj instead of continuing to feed stewie when she is hot is an ongoing issue with sandy. smh. stewie needs to be the #1 option, it’s easier for teams to take jj out than stewie. This team needs to go through Stewie. not JJ not Sabrina. Stewie is what wins you games. for the love of god stop getting away from her when she’s hot.
The Liberty played both on Saturday and Sunday. Schedule was not in favor of the older team. I was surprised that Brondello played Sloot and Laney taking away the chemistry built by the team during the previous weeks. Sloot has become a liability with her turnovers. Sandy continues to move away from the hot hand and the ref's need to do a better job because JJ was being ambushed before getting the ball.
I felt that Jonquel Jones got so shut down during the first quarter both physically and mentally, that She never fully recovered. She looked totally not into it further into the game. I like the trio of StewYork, Sabrina, and Jonquel. But I feel that Jones needs a Team Intervention. Because we as fans know She can be better. Good to see Vandersloot back.
You go with what works. Laney and Sloot should come off the bench. Its about winning, not loyalty. I love sloot, but i was saying this whole off-season, we should have gotten Cloud or Diggins for for the point. Sloot is a step slower and not as quick or athletic. I love Laney, but she has been off this season. And Sandy has been horrible with substitutions, and getting this team to not play sloppy. We have a short window to win a chip. I can very well see Sabrina wanting to go home and play with the bay area team.
A lot of couch coach's in the comments. My only critique as a fan is why was Vandersloot in this game? She literally lost her Mom last week, she needs to grieve. Even if she wanted to come back, she couldn't be mentally present in a situation like that.
