If Mystics are going to win this game they MUST stop the turnovers!

If NY is going to win they must stop EDD.
Stokes on EDD take our chances with Zellous guarding K. Thomas?

LOL, I think we agree this is going to be a hard fought, close game.

We've got buses coming up from DC with Mystics fans for the game - look for us behind the Mystics bench - we're bringing the LOUD folks!

We concede that you've got far better arena concessions - as well as NY Pizza Suprema just across the street.
We'll have a good time at MSG, regardless of the outcome.

Of all the variables for this game, I just hope Sugar doesn't go 0-##. Can't have her have another cold night.

Sugar is the main key for the Libs going far into the playoffs and wining a championship. because we know what Tina Charles is gonna do.
Question is what will the supporting cast is gonna do.

Sugar could be a very important positive or negative for the Liberty. But, in my view, the crucial player New York needs to help Charles is Stokes. To beat Washington and to seriously contend for the championship, the Liberty need Stokes to be at her best. Great defense, strong rebounding, and no foul trouble.

Seems like the 5pm start time for this game has helped get people to the game. I'm expecting a [lower bowl] sell-out. Hopefully if there's a ton of walk-ups, which there usually is, they'll open up a small part of the 200s. it also looks like most of the cheaper seats are sold-out. All that remains are the $48+ seats.

To me, DC is going to have to play better than they played against Dallas, as well as better than they played the last several weeks in order to win this game. I thought both of Wednesday night's playoff games were pretty poorly played.
DC's offense started to go in the second half once EDD started kicking the ball out of double teams rather than ignoring them. I don't envision the Liberty being broken down defensively in that manner. For D.C. to win either the Libs stay less true to their defensive principles than they have during the win streak or EDD, EM and KT make some exceptional one on one plays. The latter of those two scenarios is the more likely one in my estimation.

If Liberty cannot stop Meesserman and EDD from a double double and Toliver scoring double figures then Liberty will have to scramble to win this game.
Meesserman and EDD are working well together. I see EDD looking for Meesserman on the 3 point line when she is doubled well in the paint and Meesserman doing the same thing.
Tolliver has been scoring in double figures and Liberty have to stop that.
I do not see this game easy for Liberty.

The formulation of "an easy game for the Liberty" is quite strange. Is there any Liberty fan who views tomorrow as "an easy game" for our team? I certainly don't. I believe New York is the better team. I believe New York would win in a three-out-of-five series. But one game against a team with Delle Donne and Meeseman? Quite dangerous.

No. Even if we were facing Indiana or San Antonio tomorrow, I wouldn't feel "easy" about it. We should have beaten #8 seed Phoenix last year and we almost beat Indiana in 2015. We've been so close before, I won't feel good until we beat Washington tomorrow.

I'll put it this way. As soon as I started thinking about the game an hour ago I got a knot in my stomach. Thinking about it now, the knot is back.

Charles scored in single digits 3 times in the regular season. Twice against the Mystics.

And then some...been this way all week...so much on the line IMHO...the ability to get back to the Semis I think will shape this team for a long time good bad or ugly.
Have to bring the energy we brought when we beat the top 3 teams in a row and then beat DC to secure the bye...the last few games (except Dallas) we seemed to be like we wont lose and put in the starters when we have to but will back off as long as we can to conserve...Dallas we tried that...went down 10 and to our credit we said you wanna challenge, lets go and except for the blunder by Rodgers at the end...played playoff basketball and came out ahead.
I think if the defensive intensity is there, we've proven we can adjust to match our shooting...Still worried because EDD can go off at any moment but The Mystics ive seen since EDDs return even vs Dallas is not a team I see beating us IF we bring it...so we shall see...can NOT come out flat...have to take this will everything. And if we do that we will win

I'm going to call it right here, right now. There's no doubt in my mind the Mystics won't leave New York today without a victory.
Go Mystics!!!
