Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Wednesday, May 26, 2004

As I mentioned earlier, NYL Fanatic has come up with that great photo for the Liberty game against the Shock tonight: Kill Bill, No. 25. Also for tonight's game, the New York Post has an article about the retooled Liberty. A snippet from the article:

Gone are Weatherspoon's intensity and Whitmore's dominating inside presence, yet the team is virtually unchanged everywhere else.

Dominating inside presence? Certainly not on the Liberty. Tari Phillips was the only dominating inside presence on that team. This year, however, Elena Baranova appears to have abandoned her disdain for the non-European game and is averaging a double-double. Rookie DeTrina White, whose height and game are very similar to Latasha Byears and Marrita Porter, is averaging 10 rebounds per game. So far, Whitmore is not missed by the team...or the fans.
