The Lib closed out with a nice win over the Mystics before a big home crowd.

Shameka Christon had a nice game, scoring a career-high 18 off the bench. "My protégé,'' said C-Rob. "If I had as much athletic ability like Shameka. Wow. She is going to be great."

"I wouldn't put a cap on how good she can be," said Becky Hammon of Christon. "She can be as good as she wants to be. It depends on how bad she wants it."

In the NY Post today, Blaze talks (again) about what a great move it was dumping Richie for Patty. The Lib were 7-9 before the move, 11-7 since. That is a nice improvement.

But... home teams won about 61% of games in the association this year. 11 of Richie's 16 games were on the road. 12 of Patty's 18 games were at home. Based on the percentages alone, you'd have expected Adubato to win about 7 games and Coyle to win about 10.

Who knows. Maybe it's the intangibles that matter. "Everything isn't so structured for them anymore," Blazejowski said. "On the floor, Richie used to call every play and control things. Now, there's a more relaxed feel."
