00:00As we start foreseeing what to expect with game two, what specifically do the Liberty

00:07need to do outside of the not having the turnovers and stuff like that in order to compete and

00:13manage this game for all four quarters, at least three of the four to try to pull off

00:16game two and tie up the series?

00:18Well, a little bit is what you just said there to end Casey, right?

00:22It's play a complete game.

00:24That's what you didn't see from the Liberty last night.

00:26We started off this conversation talking about how great they look at the in the first quarter

00:30in the top of this game.

00:31And then things fell apart.

00:33They have to play a complete game.

00:35They have to play a complete 40 minutes and bring that intensity on defense and really

00:39bring it to the links.

00:41Now, look, I think they have to get out to a fast start Barclay Center crowd, which was

00:45beautiful last night.

00:46It was a sellout there.

00:47They're going to be pumped up once again.

00:49They have to feed off the energy of this crowd if they want to even this up going to Minnesota.

00:54I'm a little intrigued to see how Minnesota comes out because they relax now that he did

00:58their job.

00:59They got the split they wanted on the road.

01:01How is that going to be before the Liberty one?

01:03You got to play a complete game to you've got to, as we said, take care of the ball.

01:08And I'll also add three.

01:09You have to make sure your stars have to play like stars.

01:12That's it.

01:13I expect Brianna Stewart, so sad to play like the way they played for most of the playoffs.

01:19This was the first playoff loss for the Liberty at home.

01:23Their stars have been fantastic at home.

01:25And I think Sabrina Nescu, what is going on with her health and how she shoots is really

01:29going to be the difference.

01:30She's in a way the X factor.

01:31I like to say John Quill Jones, but John Quill Jones had a really strong game in this one.

01:36I think they need to establish her early as again, but Liberty stars have to play like

01:40stars play like the MVP level they played before if they're going to do that and win

01:45this game.

01:46But I think it's taking care of the ball stars playing like stars and playing a complete

01:4940 minutes.

01:50Yeah.

01:51I ask who's always been the kind of my clutch, my clutch maker for that one.

01:55So before we let you go, Dexter, any players specifically to watch outside of the stars

02:00that we have mentioned or just anyone that you want fans to make sure that they are locked

02:03in on for game two.

02:04Yeah.

02:05I'll play.

02:06I would say the lock in.

02:07I was locked in on this player for game one, John Quill Jones to record a double double

02:10before game one.

02:11I saw that at plus about plus 140.

02:13I think there's great value on her to do that.

02:15Then this is a really good matchup for her and Minnesota struggles a little bit with

02:18her.

02:19So I'd look for her.

02:20Also look for Bonaji Laney to get a little bit more involved, whether it's on rebounds

02:24or knocking down a couple of threes.

02:25She's someone as a role player.

02:26I expect to have a bigger role in this contest in game two.
