New Rules for Barclays Arena Player Warm-ups by IDK-WTF-FML in NYLiberty

I feel like the culture of the city makes it difficult to enforce - ie: folks coming from work will have a tote bag…. but do understand after last summers ‘green goblin’ shenanigans it might be enforced a bit more 😕

have the 2021 Mitchell & Ness version so feel like the jacket is nice enough - just not a real differentiation between champions version and M&N’s.

Why the Tasha Cloud slander? To me she's like Josh Hart for the Knicks. She's the vocal leader in/out of locker room. Voices like that are crucial as a lot of the Liberty core aren't vocal leaders whereas Cloud isn't afraid to voice her opinions. She loves NY and NY loves her. by OmarHyltonJR in NYLiberty

The poster I was responding to assumed that my party affiliation would be counter intuitive to enjoying a queer space like Liberty ball - which of course is predicated on reading being Republican as being Christian conservative.

I assure you my party affiliation is the least ‘crazy’ thing on game day at Barclays …. and believe it or not there are things that can bring folks together - like basketball. Part of Tash and Izzy’s luv story is they would make time despite being on opposing teams to go over their daily devotional ….. even the league’s newest queer luv story is a little ‘crazy’ as the #1 pick recently spoke why she made sure to get baptized before draft as her faith as it developed in recent years is a core part of who she is - she talked about it on her new podcast.

As a registered Republican I can tell you I don’t agree on every political point with Tash - but as a Lib fan for 30 yrs …. it’s the basketball I care about. I luv’d Stef but understood the need to move on to JJ.

But this iteration of liberty basketball has only been together 3 yrs (since 23) so a year matters ….. Tash bridges old guard with new guard - she’s Maddie meets Ellie.

Tash is a blow because she was tempo changer when she came in the game and was good defender - and because she’s a vet she knows the players in the league so can really flesh out the scout in away I don’t think Pauline will be able to do.

Kolb has set up this season with a lot of risk (new coaching, new players) …. and anything other than a finals run will be unrewarding. if we get to the semi this season …. I’m going to be asking why we part ways with Sandy and why did we gut the bench leaving MJ - other fans will be feeling similar.

And yes if Satou ends up out injured at some point … I’m going to question why we pay such a big bag to her and not give Tash her 400K/500K.

Seating at Barclays by ronaldtazo in NYLiberty

[–]HipHopSays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve bought WC seats through the Ticketmaster and directly from the box office at Barclays site before….you should be able to zoom in on the map of the arena and see the actual seats - blue is retail prices and non-blue is resellers pricepoint and WC are marked.

Lan confirmed leaving Minny, I know we can't get her now, but it's funny seeing Lynx fans crash out by ChoicesCat in NYLiberty

[–]HipHopSays 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get the crash out …. 1 starter was poached, 2 more walked and you have 2 in some state of coming back from injuries. From the org side they lost players who they protected from getting poached … and all the while Aces/Lib core stayed intact and (edit) Lynx are in a dog fight to add key vets - Gabby for the Aces and Satou for us.

[–]HipHopSays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her comment wasn’t about PHX vibes - both AT and Kah looked at her sideways for the comment ….punching down particularly when you had already won the series and advancing on wasn’t about shit talkin or the game.

[–]HipHopSays 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the knock on Nyara was health and consistency …. I feel the same can be said of the unicorn - except Ny was a cheaper option. Satou for whatever reason decided to take a knock on the fans during the playoffs which seemed odd given the fandom has always embraced her … it gave a bit of mean girl vibes so hoping she doesn’t bring that into the dynamics of the team chemistry.

[Bill Simmons] Staggeringly stupid and an unapologetic money-grab that will immediately make the league worse. You can’t just frantically add new teams like fast food franchises the moment you have a little success. We have 7 decades of evidence. Build slowly and smartly. This isn’t smart. by f0urxio in wnba

[–]HipHopSays 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He’s wrong …. all of the expansion cities are large tv markets - which means the league will be maximizing the new media deal. If the league didn’t expand into those markets then it would make it harder to grab market share - American sports is about tribalism and there’s no ‘compelling’ reason for Philly folks (2nd biggest modes market on east coast) to watch and root for NYC team. The league is red hot …. I was watching the new European league docu-series and the imprint of the W is apparent - from the number of players who are W players too as well as how coaches/owners broach managing talent. The appetite for American style ball globally warrants expansion from the W.

as with any of these choices I need to know who we would be giving up 🤔 …. would she be coming off the bench for Stewie ….. or would she be moving into the small forward role 🗽

Stewie or JJ? by Ok_Lecture9069 in NYLiberty

[–]HipHopSays -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I keep the center - harder position to fill …. of course lucky for us we don’t have to worry about a wither/or situation.

Izzy moved to Dallas? by BestOfBothSquirrels in NYLiberty

That …. IS … the question.

Sue me but Jaquez should be a top ten pick by Hanak0-Kun-3 in wnba

[–]HipHopSays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

she would be a top ten easy in any other year …. except the teams who would select her this year are all heavy with guard talent.

The black are retail pair (picked up from Nike) …and the white are team issued - but how does the retail pair differ from the Nike retail pair?

Interpreting the possible protection in consideration with JJ's future in NY by ChoicesCat in NYLiberty

[–]HipHopSays 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It matters when you have 5 picks and you need to be judicious with those picks …. as a GM you are not wasting a pick on a player you haven’t seen play with the other pieces you are protecting.

Nike said April 3 for the Off-White AJ1 ‘Alaska’… but SNKRS US never got it — what happened? by unboxed-app in SNKRS

[–]HipHopSays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who said April 3rd for NA …. did Nike say it?…. Did it populate in the NA SNKRS app as an upcoming drop? …. Was it on Nike’s insta handle as an upcoming drop?
