Liberty wins + appearance
The New York Liberty won the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals. It was an ugly win. An ugly game. The only grace notes were Deanna Nolan’s gorgeous shooting—I swear she stays up in the air for seconds at a time, she looks great even when she misses—the great turnout, and the fact that we won.
I didn’t think it was possible for me to hate Bill Laimbeer more than I do. But his performance tonight pushed my hate a few notches upward. How he managed not to get a delay of game call or a technical I will never understand. Sit down, Bill!
Later today I will be in Larchmont, which is a mere twenty minutes from Grand Central:

I am wondering if this is the Larchmont that the term Larchmont lockjaw comes from. I hope I get to meet some of you there.

I’m coming to Larchmont! And while I’m there, I can also see my little cousins! Very cool.

Now you know why she’s Brittany’s favorite player. There’s no one in the league that has anything like the athletic ability that Deanna does.
The Liberty are in good shape, although they did do this last year and then lose twice in Detroit. The Shock just isn’t the same without Plenette Pierson and Cheryl Ford.
Can’t wait to see you next week!
