My first thought....

“…Leilani Mitchell’s out?”

by James Bowman on Sep 1, 2010 7:33 PM EDT up reply actions  

LOL!

You miss the CoverItLive?! I thought I was the only one that liked those…

by Jessica Lantz on Sep 1, 2010 7:34 PM EDT up reply actions  

It reminded me of the old IRC chatrooms. And watching live-action Twitter was interesting.

by James Bowman on Sep 1, 2010 7:35 PM EDT up reply actions  

Well then! If you like them, this will be the last non-CiL game ;)

by Jessica Lantz on Sep 1, 2010 7:35 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yeah, but if we’re the only ones using them…we’ll just stick with the comments system.

As someone asked on RebKell....

“…what if the NY Liberty hadn’t picked up Pierson from the Shock?”

by James Bowman on Sep 1, 2010 7:37 PM EDT reply actions  

Anne Donovan’s pre-game speeches are dull. No ranting. No Vince Lombardi-esque speechmaking.

…not a single chair shattered.

by James Bowman on Sep 1, 2010 7:38 PM EDT up reply actions  

call me crazy...

but I think the starting lineup for the Liberty is quite pretty.

by LJRotter on Sep 1, 2010 7:39 PM EDT reply actions  

Lin Dunn has abandoned her zebra-skin jacket. Going for some op-art.

by James Bowman on Sep 1, 2010 7:39 PM EDT reply actions  

oh Cappie drains the long two

if she gets started early, that’s it.

by LJRotter on Sep 1, 2010 7:42 PM EDT reply actions  

Douglas having a good start.

I know LJ's looking for a Lib win...

How bout you, Petrel? Who you want to face? Decided yet?

by Jessica Lantz on Sep 1, 2010 7:46 PM EDT reply actions  

Indiana, because I think we have a better chance of beating the Fever.

by James Bowman on Sep 1, 2010 7:47 PM EDT up reply actions  

Is it true that Ebony Hoffman guaranteed a win?

by James Bowman on Sep 1, 2010 7:48 PM EDT reply actions  

Libs with 5 TO. Indiana has yet to TO the ball.

by James Bowman on Sep 1, 2010 7:50 PM EDT reply actions  

jeebus

by LJRotter on Sep 1, 2010 7:52 PM EDT reply actions  

compared to Cappie and Lei

Taj moves in slow motion. WHOA, Vaughn??? Nice.

Libs 8-for-11 : 72 percent.

by James Bowman on Sep 1, 2010 7:53 PM EDT reply actions

You can’t leave those Fever players alone under the bucket, NY.

IND 26 NYL 21 End 1st Q

Both teams shooting the lights out, Indiana shooting more. NY has to stop Indiana moving the ball under the basket.

Pondexter and Douglas have eight points each.

by James Bowman on Sep 1, 2010 7:59 PM EDT reply actions

that shot was weird looking but it went in so I’ll shut up.

by LJRotter on Sep 1, 2010 8:00 PM EDT reply actions  

Pondexter for 3 – game tied.

by James Bowman on Sep 1, 2010 8:01 PM EDT reply actions

And Vaughn finds the basket up close.

by James Bowman on Sep 1, 2010 8:24 PM EDT reply actions  

Cat talking to me. He’s saying, “You need a bowl of cereal at halftime.” Actually, he’s saying that HE needs a bowl of cereal at halftime, but he can dream on.

your cat is better than mine

I had to go stop her from trying to murder one of our other cats. it sounds like banshees over here…

by LJRotter on Sep 1, 2010 8:26 PM EDT up reply actions  

My cat is now reading about your cat.

by James Bowman on Sep 1, 2010 8:30 PM EDT up reply actions  

any advice?

(let’s pretend for a second that I don’t have a degree in Animal Behavior…)

by LJRotter on Sep 1, 2010 8:31 PM EDT up reply actions  

None at all. But he’s between me and the keyboard, reading the posts. Ah. Now he read the post, and is walking away. “Leave me out of this.”

by James Bowman on Sep 1, 2010 8:32 PM EDT up reply actions  

All your cats are smarter than my cat

Actually my daughter’s cat. He’s a big, dumb jock, but beautiful. Knows NOTHING about women’s basketball.

Douglas and Catchings have 26 of IND’s 41 points.

Both teams need to leave it all on the floor.

Seriously. Leave it all on the floor. Wipe yourselves out.

by James Bowman on Sep 1, 2010 8:36 PM EDT reply actions  

Preference, Indiana because I think we have a better chance of beating Indy.

Carson’s 5 point run was great. (Computer problems here.)

by James Bowman on Sep 1, 2010 9:06 PM EDT reply actions  

The 24-sec violation: I’ve seen the Fever fall into that again and again and again….

by James Bowman on Sep 1, 2010 9:07 PM EDT reply actions  

Douglas 3 pter puts the lead back to 65-59.

by James Bowman on Sep 1, 2010 9:08 PM EDT reply actions  

In Cappie I trust

WHAT??

by LJRotter on Sep 1, 2010 9:19 PM EDT reply actions  

Some contact, but how hard was it?

by James Bowman on Sep 1, 2010 9:20 PM EDT reply actions  

Are there boos from MSG? Tough crowd.

by James Bowman on Sep 1, 2010 9:21 PM EDT reply actions  

Vaughn gets the hack.

by James Bowman on Sep 1, 2010 9:21 PM EDT reply actions  

I would love love love

if they took the lead with a nice inside play.

by LJRotter on Sep 1, 2010 9:34 PM EDT reply actions  

Jump ball with 2:05.

by James Bowman on Sep 1, 2010 9:34 PM EDT reply actions  

January almost had that one for 3.

by James Bowman on Sep 1, 2010 9:36 PM EDT reply actions  

It was deafening in there...

especially during the final two minutes of the game. When I went to post-game, my ears were ringing for a good five minutes.

by JT Jayhawk on Sep 2, 2010 10:07 AM EDT up reply actions  

2nd Half

Goes really fast when you’re playing Angry Birds….

by garzai38 on Sep 1, 2010 9:38 PM EDT reply actions  

It's okay...

after you moved, that’s when the Liberty went on their win streak. So, keep on cheering them on from afar. :P

by JT Jayhawk on Sep 2, 2010 10:08 AM EDT up reply actions  

30 pts – a Liberty playoff record.

In five more years, Cappie will have a spitload of awards.

via text from Q...

“Cappie to Hall of Fame!”

by LJRotter on Sep 1, 2010 9:41 PM EDT up reply actions  

wow

what a time for Catchings to miss…

by LJRotter on Sep 1, 2010 9:42 PM EDT reply actions  

That was definitely an off-balance shot.

Poor Catch. No rings, not yet…and she deserves one.

by James Bowman on Sep 1, 2010 9:42 PM EDT up reply actions  

New York…WHERE DREAMS COME TRUE!! :D

by James Bowman on Sep 1, 2010 9:47 PM EDT reply actions  

It’s actually not “on to Atlanta”. We have to come to MSG.

by James Bowman on Sep 1, 2010 9:47 PM EDT reply actions  

Cappie Pondexter quote: “wow!”

by James Bowman on Sep 1, 2010 9:48 PM EDT reply actions  

YES!!!

Briann is very promising indeed, but she is still a rookie and played like one tonight.

by BearBint on Sep 1, 2010 9:58 PM EDT up reply actions  

chants of MVP...

Cappie can’t even talk :)

by LJRotter on Sep 1, 2010 9:50 PM EDT reply actions  

Gonna wrap it up....

…and it’s time to grab Malcolm and rub the ol’ cats foot for luck. Good night!

(Lucky cats foot copywright petrel. All rights reserve.)

alright friends.

I’m off. GREAT basketball.

by LJRotter on Sep 1, 2010 9:51 PM EDT reply actions  

Wow

No one I talked to in Phx thought NY could do it. I guess the Fever proved again that defense wins championships as long as you have enough ways to also score the ball.

Hard to think that the winner of Seattle / Phx isn’t the favorite regardless of Atlanta or NY
