Lisa Leslie.
JT Jayhawk - August 26, 2010
Standing ovation for Mitchell
when she was presented the MIP award.
JT Jayhawk - August 26, 2010
WELL deserved.
Nate Parham - August 26, 2010
What's that I hear??
A vuvuzela somewhere in MSG.
JT Jayhawk - August 26, 2010
What kind of animal did Lin Dunn kill for that jacket?
James Bowman - August 26, 2010
Zebra
Haven’t you wondered what happened to June Courteau?
Queenie - August 27, 2010
What the hell was that from McCarville?
James Bowman - August 26, 2010
a shot that she keeps trying...
and never makes…
JT Jayhawk - August 26, 2010
That’s Janel, being Janel. I expect that at least once a quarter from her.
skeb - August 26, 2010
First bucket by…Pondexter for the Liberty.
James Bowman - August 26, 2010
You can definitely hear the crowd in THIS game.
James Bowman - August 26, 2010
Nice defensive play by Catchings. Two steals so far.
James Bowman - August 26, 2010
Catchings is heating up
and Liberty need to stop it …
JT Jayhawk - August 26, 2010
2 fouls on Powell so far..
uh oh….
JT Jayhawk - August 26, 2010
McCarville isn’t exactly being a “drive to the basket” kind of player this game.
James Bowman - August 26, 2010
Nope not really..
I hope her jump shot starts falling tonight… that is if she attempts one.
JT Jayhawk - August 26, 2010
Looks like the Fever are going to go to the line for two. That will be 8 FT this qtr.
James Bowman - August 26, 2010
Who y'all got in this series?
I heard Q said, NY in 3…anyone else have thoughts?
Jessica Lantz - August 26, 2010
NY in 3, simply because the Libs are on a role. Of course, I had Washington in 2 last night, so….
James Bowman - August 26, 2010
It's so great predicting a series with such limited outcomes!
Nate Parham - August 26, 2010
Pierson in, Greene in
McCarville out, Mitchell out. Maybe Pierson can do a better job than J-Mac has been doing.
JT Jayhawk - August 26, 2010
Free throws #9 and #10 this quarter for Indiana.
James Bowman - August 26, 2010
Trey from Pondexter
ties it up at 20… but that didn’t last long.q
JT Jayhawk - August 26, 2010
oops
James Bowman - August 26, 2010
My hopes:
1. Dream win tomorrow night.
2. NY and IND beat the crap out of each other, leaving either team so exhausted they can’t play Atlanta, and
3. Seattle Storm get flu in September.
James Bowman - August 26, 2010
A boy can dream...
Nate Parham - August 26, 2010
1. I’m all for
2. They will beat the crap out of each other…
3. :X
JT Jayhawk - August 26, 2010
IND 22 NYL 21 end 1st quarter
Libs shooting 35 percent but 8 points for Pondexter.
James Bowman - August 26, 2010
Indy up by 5 again.
James Bowman - August 26, 2010
Another Indiana deflection.
James Bowman - August 26, 2010
The best thing about this game
Sue Blauch is reffing, which means she won’t be in Atlanta tomorrow. :-)
pilight - August 26, 2010
Don’t be so sure. The W would fly her down here. :(
James Bowman - August 26, 2010
Liberty down by 10...
Donovan calls timeout.
JT Jayhawk - August 26, 2010
IND 33 NYL 23
Anne Donovan calls a TO after an 11-2 second quarter start.
James Bowman - August 26, 2010
They must have considered it so slow at MSG that Leslie garbled for a few minutes.
James Bowman - August 26, 2010
Liberty closes back to 4. Nicole Powell picks up her 3rd PF.
James Bowman - August 26, 2010
Taj is down.
James Bowman - August 26, 2010
Took the elbow from Tammy Sutton-Brown.
James Bowman - August 26, 2010
Pondexter has 16 of New York’s 34 points. She’s going to try to win this game by herself.
James Bowman - August 26, 2010
“If Janel McCarville has a layup. she must take the layup!”
James Bowman - August 26, 2010
Assumes a fact not in evidence
Odds don’t favor McCarville making said layup
pilight - August 26, 2010
Both teams making the inside game work. Indiana up 43-40 with 2:10:
James Bowman - August 26, 2010
Pondexter has 21 points.
James Bowman - August 26, 2010
She's unreal...
I’m not sure there’s a player in the league who can defend her consistently.
Nate Parham - August 26, 2010
I propose..
Cappie vs. (to rival the Shaq vs. tv show)
Jessica Lantz - August 26, 2010
Game tied at 45-45.
James Bowman - August 26, 2010
IND 45 NYL 45 1:16 left in 2nd Q.
James Bowman - August 26, 2010
Blocking call on Carson.
Good call.
James Bowman - August 26, 2010
Tammy Sutton-Brown 3 PF.
James Bowman - August 26, 2010
Pierson bricks the first one. Hits #2.
James Bowman - August 26, 2010
5.1 seconds and the Libs have the final shot of the 1st half.
James Bowman - August 26, 2010
Fouled with 0.9 seconds left. No...maybe 3.
Dumb move, Fever.
James Bowman - August 26, 2010
23 first half points by Pondexter.
James Bowman - August 26, 2010
NYL 48 IND 47 Halftime
CP 23: “We’re fighters. We’re gonna fight until the end.”
Both teams shooting 50+ percent. Fever have 8 steals.
James Bowman - August 26, 2010
Vickie Johnson footage.
James Bowman - August 26, 2010
Taj holding her head.
James Bowman - August 26, 2010
TSB holding her head.
James Bowman - August 26, 2010
How come Shake Weight is always “Shake Weight for Men?”
James Bowman - August 26, 2010
ha
that is weird
Nate Parham - August 26, 2010
What woman is going to make that motion publicly?
honestly.
Queenie - August 27, 2010
I think these teams need to put in a “lets keep our elbows out of it” agreement for next game. Good grief.
skeb - August 26, 2010
Yeah it's too much for me..
Play ball…
Nate Parham - August 26, 2010
This is becoming rugby...
Nate Parham - August 26, 2010
"Jane McCarville IS Shalee Lehning!"
0 points 7 assists.
James Bowman - August 26, 2010
at least she got off the schnide
Gonna need more than that out of Nellie.
Queenie - August 27, 2010
NYL 72 IND 61
NYL and IND making it physical, but NYL up by 11, their biggest lead.
