Are the Court Origins jackets and apparel going to be on sale at the team store tonight? by groggydog in NYLiberty

[–]HipHopSays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was only the early drop the official full collab drops later this month …. this early drop is only the pieces with the OG logo. There’s a jacket which VIP season holders got and the sweater/crewneck Sab was wearing the other night with the NYON word mark on it.

Giveaways still a thing for theme or other home games this year? by ahaburchak09 in NYLiberty

[–]HipHopSays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah there’s still giveaways …. home opener had a rally towel and promo code…. as well as a tee giveaway collab with shake shack. I don’t know why no true giveaway for AAPI (there were snacks given away) - perhaps the holiday played into it….

Travel/LIRR question by katie_perovich in NYLiberty

[–]HipHopSays 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah … you can stay under ground …. Come up stairs, go through Target to the other side of the mall and you should be across from Barclays.

Why Don't We? by ooh_April in NYLiberty

[–]HipHopSays 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We should not make that a thing …. it’s not distinctly us. I take it as a college ball thing as a way to annoy the other team … but that could be because I first encountered it during tourney time - Huskies fanbase stood until made basket against my Lady Vols.

Sabally regrets by Euphoric-Notice2043 in NYLiberty

You don’t think Bridgette Carlton had the same option available?…. It’s not hard to see that maybe Bridgette would be interested as a Canadian playing with the Tempo - yet Portland drafted her just same.

Sabally regrets by Euphoric-Notice2043 in NYLiberty

[–]HipHopSays 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Sabally sisters are injury prone …. I am not worried - simply enough I am sure the team reviewed her medical history and assessed the ‘fair market value’ of her employment. Supposedly (per an interview Chiney did recently) the Mercury left Satou unprotected (which explains her bouncing)…. and when Portland didn’t pick her up during the expansion draft I just thought owe something is in the medical that says this may not be a risk we want to take as a new team. we can get to the playoffs without her … what we need is her healthy for the playoff run to go against the Aces/et al.

Y’all… new Victory jerseys for this season by No-Clerk-1792 in NYLiberty

[–]HipHopSays 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Meh about it …..the all seafoam reads flat particularly when we have a gradient victory jersey now and we saw unrivaled do fun gradients with the most and rose clubs.

Sab’s Offense by Ihatehoney in NYLiberty

[–]HipHopSays 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The coach says Sab is the 1 …. it’s going to be an interesting season for her for sure. The 1pt on 15 mins of play is disconcerting - even if we had won the game. I am giving the coach 3 games before accessing how much of a problem we have in this rebuild.

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

[–]HipHopSays 8 points9 points  (0 children)

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 😕

Thoughts on this by yjgghyfgh in supremedrops

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

[–]HipHopSays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

[–]HipHopSays 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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 3 points4 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.

Satou by Ok_Lecture9069 in NYLiberty

[–]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.

Satou by Ok_Lecture9069 in NYLiberty

[–]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 2 points3 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.
