situation, in that they had a back-to-back game (both on the road) and the game last night in Indiana went to OT. But they destroyed the Liberty. They were up by 24 with 2 minutes left in the game, and NY's subs closed the game on a 9-0 to make the final score 78-63. McBride (16 points on 7/12) and Dearica Hamby (17 points on 7/11) led the way. Lindsay Allen had 7 assists vs. 2 TO whereas the starting PG Plum had 1 assist and 3 TO. Despite not starting, Allen logged more minutes than Plum (25 vs 18). Plum is a talented player, but she is not a WNBA PG like Allen could be. Both players are in their second year in the WNBA.

There's Some Young Talent on the Aces....

..some of which Ruth Riley helped procure, but -- in all fairness -- Laimbeer is an accomplished WNBA coach and can help pull it together.

Seems like he is doing the "I'll start the better-known player, then put in the steady eddie and see which is playing better. Then, I'll go with them. For that game."

I thought the Liberty made a big mistake cutting LA because so many of their guards have the same skill set. Hartley and Boyd, the de facto points, are more scorers. Think LA is in a better place with Aces, whether temporarily or longer. Who knows how long MoJeff will be out?
