Okay so I kinda hate the Liberty for being the place who "took" Stewie away from Seattle
But I also love Sandy and Steph back together. Steph plays her best basketball when she's playing for the Opals. If there's a coach in the WNBA that knows how to use Steph well, it's going to be Sandy
Let's hope it works out 🤞
#new york liberty#steph talbot#I was a bit like... surely Australia's best player isn't going to be off a WNBA roster for that long#we played her 27.5 minutes in the bronze medal game last year on a ruptured plantar fascia#sandy owes steph her bronze medal#and the Opal's head coach contract renewal

Las Vegas Aces - None
Los Angeles Sparks - None
Minnesota Lynx - Alanna Smith

Basically the same as last season, except some players have moved around, and we have Amoore instead of Wallace

Okay, apparently tip off is in 20 minutes, the Boomers are still playing
I sure hope this game isn't a sign of what we're in for with Opals vs Tall Ferns lol

As a Sue Bird fan (she's the reason I started watching sports), I love this for her and I'm so excited about this
But as an aussie, this sucks so much 😭😭. I desperately want USA to lose, but now if USA loses, everyone's going to blame Sue 🫠
