Isabelle Harrison gave me some fantastic answers in postgame today, including a really nice Sabrina story. Think this is worth any W fan's time. Q: This is gonna be the first > .500 team of your career. What does this environment mean to you, and how are you contributing to it?…

New @LockedOnNets with @LucasKaplan_ offering more Summer League takes: 🏀 What is Danny Wolf’s upside? 🤔 Where does he fit in NBA long-term? ❓ Drew Timme a lock for a roster spot? 🎧: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/loc… 📺: m.youtube.com/watch?v=3Pdq_c…
don't think I've ever seen this before -- players lined up on the wrong side for a jump-ball in Tuesday's IND-NYL game (Liberty are going left):

Tash forces a TO in an incredibly fun mini-battle with K-Mitch and Marine is amused
no shade at Izzy who played well v IND, but you can see how Jonquel's return really smooths out NYL's offense Howard is able to roam off a non-spaced Izzy to prevent a Stewie catch
how are they yankees simultaneously so good and so pathetic
sheesh this is embarrassing
Last year, I made a friendly wager with a certain New York Congressman that the @minnesotalynx would win the WNBA finals. The consequence if we lost? A speech on the House floor congratulating the New York Liberty. @RepDanGoldman, today I gave you a floor speech, but not the one…
Izzy Harrison switches onto the guard, (kinda) contests a miss, runs the floor and seals early, creating an open corner three. Quintessential Liberty, and another play Izzy made last night
Sophie Cunningham is voicing a nearly identical frustration that Natasha Cloud told me last week, when she was issued a fine warning for wearing a hat. nytimes.com/athletic/64945…
I got fined $500 for this TikTok 🤣🤣 idk why this is funny to me… like ok 👍🏼 you got it bud! Cause there’s not more important things to be worried about with our league right now
hell yeah lol great work in this article, as well as the Eastern Conference edition

New @LockedOnNets with @LucasKaplan_ reacting to what we saw from Brooklyn’s rookie guards at Summer League: 🏀 Most upside of Demin, Traore, Saraf? 📈 Who will stick in NBA long-term? 🤔 How does the trio fit together? 🎧: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/loc… 📺: m.youtube.com/watch?v=HqeIeU…
Game story from a fun night at Barclays: netsdaily.com/2025/7/22/2447…
Jonquel also referenced this play in a great answer about Sabrina: "I think I've known that she's a competitor, like with all the stuff that she's done in college. And obviously, you have to be a competitor to be able to be such an elite collegiate athlete, and she came into the…
You know I had to ask Sabrina about this in postgame, she gave a great answer: "I mean, they don't switch, because she's a five. So obviously, their coverage was switch one-through-four, try and keep us in front, cause sometimes they go small on Stewie and switch on the guard,…
A sweet moment at the end of Isabelle Harrison’s scrum, as Natasha Cloud gives her a chance to talk about the Lupus Foundation and her brother, Daniel. You can donate here to help fund innovative research that looks to combat and eradicate the disease: lupus.donorsupport.co/page/FUNAHQKWY…

JJ step-up screen in semi-transition gives Sabrina her cleanest look of the night. JJ's return also means Sabrina's best screener is back.
Tash gotta be more aggressive if she wants to get a question in smh

.@JaMorant shows love after the Libs secure the W🔥💪
Sandy sums up JJ: "She can do everything. She can do everything for us."
