Some interesting dynamics. First off, Bill again mentioned depth as being a key in yesterday's sound bite, identifying it as a component that can be used to wear the opponent down. Which is something he's said enough times that it must be his true intention.

But obviously in order for that approach to be successful, you have to either keep the game close or be in the lead. Thinking back to some early season Libs performances the last few years, they've had early double digit deficits several times until they've stabilized their rotations each year. I think the first 5-7 minutes will be telling.

I'm excited I actually get to see this one ... uninterrupted !!

Libs can always go with : Boyd - Sugar - Z or Allen - Stokes - Charles , for stability and everybody doing the same things as last year. Lynx can counter quickly with Monty and Howard, to up their team speed.

Voting Lynx but hoping + expecting a nailbiter.

The game started 2 minutes ago. Not sure if the lynx know that.

Stokes already looks improved from Saturday's game.

Nice response from the Lynx. Maya with 3 early assists but no points.

No points from Charles isn't good, but we're only down 5.

8 fouls in the first quarter isn't helping our cause.

Maya and Tina both scoreless in the 1st. Who would have guessed it?

I really liked what our bench brought when they came in. It would be nice to get Maya going. She hasn't looked comfortable or in rhythm at all, counting the Chicago game.

Luckily for us, New York is fouling a lot. Laughing

Why the hesitation to bring Charles back in? Stokes & Vaughn out there together? And Hartley looks lost out there running PG.

Libs have passed up at least three wide open shots. Overpassing. And if we aren't allowed to play post defense with basketball-related contact then we have no chance to win.

I hate these in-game interviews. And Borders is enthusiastic but boring as hell to listen to...

Did Borders just say that fantasy basketball players can't spell "basketball"? What?

Liberty just can't get Tina the ball. When they can't, it seems like they're settling for a 3. Currently 4-10 from 3.
