Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Monday, June 23, 2008

The Liberty and their fans had fun yesterday at MSG. They scored more than 100 points for the first time in franchise history as they demolished the Mercury 105-72.

New York made it look easy as six players reached double figures and every player scored. The Liberty benefitted from the return of Loree Moore to the line up and poor defense from the Merc. "They couldn't stop us. And I think we found our confidence," Moore said. "We couldn't do anything wrong, I felt."

While the win was nice, Patty Coyle knows her team still has work to do. "If we're going to move into that upper echelon, we're going to have to be consistent," the coach said of her young team. "We need to understand it was one game and one game only."

Fortunately for the Mercury, they had special plans today which may have helped them move past yesterday's loss.
