Generally, playoff WNBA teams (top four) have two stars that can be counted on every game, i.e., Nneka and CP3, Griner and DT, Syl and Maya, Stewie and Sue and rising Loyd, ...The Liberty do not have the two stars. They have aging veterans and average support players with Tina being the only star.
Every team has a bench player that can get hot and help with the offense: Williams for Sparks recently, Zahui B and Kia are NY examples.
Objectively, NY looks like Tennessee with more three point shooting. Tina gets the pass low and deals with double teams. The rest of the team pretty much stands around.
What bugs me about WNBA and NBA is the constant bellyaching about fouls not being called. The NBA is way more physical, but fouls are not called on every possession. Boy, am I digressing.
Liberty games are nowhere enjoyable as Geno's teams. I watch because of all the UConn alums. Each year, I anticipate Kiah making an impact, which doesn't happen. She hasn't learned that she has to create more for herself like Kia V. or even Zahui B. She can't wait for the perfect assist to happen from, say Sugar Rodgers.
The season is young, we are only through one third of the schedule.
