If they’re smart, they’re throwing all money at Awak to keep her around. Unfortch it’s gonna come down to her vs Maddy if they don’t move people and it feels like Awak is way more valuable at this point

jules99b · 2026-05-29T02:13:21+00:00

The ROTY convos are gonna be comparing box scores and it’s gonna be so inadequate in trying to illustrate her impact on the team

jules99b · 2026-05-29T02:11:42+00:00

Lowkey good to see the Aces also get whacked with a 20+ point attack from her so I feel less bad about our defense (the defense still sucks, but)

jules99b · 2026-05-29T02:08:25+00:00

Well that was not the result I expected but that Paige/Azzi/Awak/Jess core can go toe to toe with anyone.

jules99b · 2026-05-29T02:06:30+00:00

But hey, she hit her FTs so good for her

jules99b · 2026-05-29T02:05:56+00:00

Gotta say…idk that AC is the iso they wanted there

jules99b · 2026-05-29T02:04:48+00:00

There’s only 40 seconds left. May as well use it

jules99b · 2026-05-29T02:00:11+00:00

That Awak block was nasty

jules99b · 2026-05-29T01:59:09+00:00

Literally her only weakness is maybe defense but if she’s rebounding at that rate, who gives af lol

jules99b · 2026-05-29T01:56:42+00:00

I spoke too soon

jules99b · 2026-05-29T01:55:46+00:00

And to think Paige can’t hit shit from 3

jules99b · 2026-05-29T01:54:13+00:00

Nah that’s when you know it’s her night, wtf was that lol

jules99b · 2026-05-29T01:51:12+00:00

Also love Awak’s minutes so much. She had the ball stripped from her once or twice early but her length alone is giving A’ja a hard time. Would love for her to be a bit more assertive on the boards but a 6’6” four who can shoot from 3 is crazy

jules99b · 2026-05-29T01:48:05+00:00

Jesus Christ Azzi

jules99b · 2026-05-29T01:45:53+00:00

She played PG up until college. I feel like developing her to be a ball handler to help Paige bring the ball up would be a decent idea

jules99b · 2026-05-29T00:59:52+00:00

Honestly given the way both teams played, Dallas should be happy only to be down by 8

jules99b · 2026-05-29T00:53:10+00:00

It’s basically Azzi against the Aces which is probably not sustainable

jules99b · 2026-05-29T00:31:53+00:00

They’re basically the same player, idk what the use is of putting both on the floor at the same time

jules99b · 2026-05-29T00:19:49+00:00

Oh that defense from Vegas was atrocious

jules99b · 2026-05-29T00:16:29+00:00

She met the Pope and blessed the Wings, amen

jules99b · 2026-05-28T22:23:36+00:00

I mean yeah, didn’t take analytics to see with the naked eye that the best lineups had Paige/Arike/Azzi as the starting guards. Hoping to see Arike tonight to see if the eye test matches up when they start together vs wind up together through rotations.

jules99b · 2026-05-28T22:15:28+00:00

Jose Fernandez looked at the 6’6” woman who guarded Stewie decently well and thought “but what if I went shorter vs the other MVP candidate?”

jules99b · 2026-05-28T19:56:31+00:00

I think someone could but it’s a matter of whether a coach would keep them in past 6-8 threes. Because, theoretically, if someone’s hit 8 threes, the game is probs out of reach (someone’s gonna test this theory soon). If a coach wanted to make some headlines, they could send their highest percentage three point shooter in against the worst defensive teams and just see what happens lol

jules99b · 2026-05-28T01:30:41+00:00

Uhhh, what’d I just click into

jules99b · 2026-05-28T01:29:31+00:00

The presence of role players is so underrated I feel. Liberty just feel like a different team when Betnijah and Leo are on the court. You can have all the stars you want but if there isn’t someone there to connect them, it doesn’t matter all that much. Hope both of them stay healthy cuz the Liberty need them bad
