00:00We do have a big showdown going on between the Aces and the Liberty.

00:03Liberty searching for that title and really kind of have the roster to get it done.

00:07You can't really argue with what they've done thus far and how consistent they've been in their performance.

00:11But what do you see in this matchup coming on the pipeline?

00:13Aces struggled defensively for a moment throughout this season,

00:16but they started to pull things together very strongly in the last two weeks here,

00:19showing that they really can push through to the end.

00:21So what do you like and see between the Aces and Liberty?

00:25Well, first things first, one thing to look at people,

00:28if you want to take it, John Quall Jones double-doubles that plus money.

00:31I think it was that plus 120 earlier today.

00:33John Quall seems to dominate, particularly going against Gustafsson and Kia Stokes.

00:38So that's just something for game one.

00:40Casey, for the overall series, I like the New York Liberty in four games.

00:43So if you can take the Liberty minus one and a half games of plus money,

00:46it allows the Liberty to win the game in four series, in four games or less.

00:51Reason why I like them? John Quall Jones, obviously.

00:54I think the Liberty are due. They have to get it done.

00:57But other thing is, and Dexter brought this up,

00:59Leona Fireman's going into the starting lineup.

01:01It's a really smart move by Sandy Bordello.

01:03Gives them a little bit more length defensively and the ability to shoot,

01:07which leads me to Sabrina Onescu.

01:10I think it's a big series for Saab.

01:13There's two plays I like, Casey. I'm going to give it to people right now.

01:16One, Saab to go, two plus made threes in every game of the series.

01:21Now, if you think about it, she's done it in 32 out of 40 games this year.

01:26And now with her going to the point, now she comes off the ball screen

01:30and that makes her more effective.

01:32So if I like her with the ball,

01:34then you've got to think about her to lead the series in assists at almost 2-1.

01:38She's someone that can come off of that ball screen, can score,

01:42but punch the gap and you space the forward shooters with Feinbich,

01:46with Beyond Lazy Hamilton, with John Quall and Stewie,

01:49who both can shoot the three.

01:50She's going to have a lot of room to operate.

01:52And you saw what she did in game number two.

01:55Big series, I think, for Sabrina and Eskew.
