Look for Liberty's Defensive Prowess to Secure WNBA Win Total
Transcript
00:00Let's focus on the Liberty here for a minute. As you mentioned, they've been the best team in WNBA.
00:09Their win total is 31.5 and to go over that it's minus 146. But as you said, I mean, maybe there
00:16is a little bit of a hangover coming out in order to hit this number. They're really going to have
00:20to play great basketball down the stretch too to hit it, I think. Yeah, they are. And you know,
00:25the sluggish part of things is going to happen more so on the offensive end for me. Defensively,
00:29they've been terrific all year and that's what's really going to carry them through. And you know,
00:34they are the second best offensive team in the league right now, only behind Minnesota. And you
00:39know, when you put the defensive unit that they have and the way that they've been able to be
00:43cohesive on that side of the floor and couple that in with the fact that they have players
00:48that can take advantage of their mismatches whenever they have them. And John Quell Jones
00:52and Brianna Stort was to me the second best player in the WNBA. Sabrina Ionescu, if she's
00:58hitting her three, she's tough to beat. So they do have players individually who can get it done.
01:04But as a unit defensively, they've been really impressive to me. So I think they are going to go
01:08over that win total. No question about it for me. And it's all going to be on the back of their
01:12defense. Sandy Brondello, who is actually the Australian national team head coach. She's coming
01:17in with a good attitude. She has that mojo going. She knows what it took to get done at the Olympic
01:22Games and was able to put a defensive unit in place to do that. She has that with the Liberty
01:27here in the WNBA. And I think they'll be able to go over that win total pretty easily.
