The Liberty's physicality has been superb this game. Jonquel is lucky she didn't get a flagrant 2 for that elbow on Aja, but otherwise they have been hitting the glass and challenging every attack in the paint

Sabrina AGAIN!!!

Looks like the superteam is indeed super.

Sabrina also seems like she's finally finding her superstar groove in the WNBA.

Seeing her shoot threes from Steph Curry range on TV is amazing. Seeing her do it in person? Goddamn!!!

I paid $300 for our tickets. If Barclays wasn't a pain in the ass to get to i would become a season ticket holder. Sabrina and Stewie are must watch

That's exactly how I am with the Aces. Games are super fun, team is amazingly talented, but games are buried in Mandalay Bay on the Vegas strip. If they were more accessible, I'd absolutely be a season ticket holder by now.

EDIT: I originally said MGM Grand instead of Mandalay Bay for some reason. I'm not all that bright.

Is it hard to get to the strip from where you are?

It is somewhat distant, for starters. I live probably 30-40 minutes from the Strip. But beyond that, parking on the Strip and getting into Mandalay Bay (no idea why I said MGM Grand earlier) is a bit of an adventure in itself. We've now learned not to use the Mandalay Bay garage. That in itself leads to a lot of delay and exasperation getting out of there after games. We now park at Tropicana, walk over to Excalibur, and take the tram down to Mandalay. I suspect it is a bit quicker to get out, but it is *definitely* less stressful. But even pedestrian traffic getting out of Michelob Ultra (the arena) itself gets very crowded getting out into the casino.

I'm not sure what Clarendon did here to get tossed???

Brittany Sykes ain't the one to mess with though, even though in this sequence I think she was at fault. She's from Newark, NJ i root for her when she isn't playing my Libs :lol:

That sounds like a headache. I was curious because I know my job holds conferences out there and depending on the timing next year I'd love to watch the Aces play live.

Ah. Yeah, I can definitely recommend going to a game while you're here. If you are here visiting on the strip, you likely won't be driving there, and that immediately removes a decent amount of the headache. When the game ends, and you need to walk out, they funnel the entire arena out one set of doors, so that gets pretty jammed up. And once everyone gets out of there into the casino, it is still enough people to jam things up pretty well and slow things down. But if you're only dealing with it once, it really isn't *that* bad. I'm usually never Mr. "Let's Leave Early to Beat the Crowds", but I have left a few Aces games with 2 or 3 minutes left (usually with them up by a ton heh), and even those couple of minutes seem to make a big difference with getting out smoothly.

Liberty vs Fever is on now, love the punishment going inside as Aliyah Boston bangs against Jonquel Jones and Steph Dolson.

Boston is such a fantastic player. I can't rave enough about her. Elite footwork, soft touch.

Yeah, she's quite a handful, especially for such a young player with lots of time to improve.

We get to watch Liberty vs. Aces 3 more times before this month is over.

The battle for the 4-8 seed is also going to be intense with 6 teams for 5 spots, and all of them currently within 4 games of each other in the standings.

This is going to be an exciting end to the season.

The floating in season tournament has forced the league's two best clubs to play against each other multiple times within a few days time. This is a good system

I pay money to watch these two squads play. This is good hoops
