2012 WNBA Mock Draft
The general notion in this year’s WNBA is that it is split in two — Stanford All-American Nneka Ogwumike, and everyone else. The rest of the field is a blend of great talent. Some you have heard of. Some you have not heard of. In the case of the players…
Women’s History Month: Cappie Pondexter (WNBA – New York Liberty)
Double G Sports continues it’s celebration of women in sports with someone that has plenty of local recognition. Not only did Cappie Pondexter play her college ball at Rutgers University but she now plays in the WNBA for the New York Liberty. Cappie has been one of the best guards…
New York Liberty’s Best of the Rest in 2011
I made some ill-timed decisions this summer, among them was planning a personal trip to Washington, D.C. earlier this month. Though everything in the nation’s capital was up to expectation, my time away from the Big Apple meant time away from the New York Liberty, the team I fondly developed…
Liberty report card: Grades slip after sub-par second half
The offseason will be a long one for the Liberty players and their die-hard fans, and the pain of the disappointing postseason series loss is probably still fresh in their minds. But for many of us, most of the dust from the early playoff exit has settled, meaning that the…
Liberty Begins Long Offseason After Early Playoff Exit
The one constant through the 2011 season and throughout the past two seasons has been Cappie Pondexter. Clearly one of, if not the best guard in the WNBA, Pondexter was all but lights out for the Liberty heading into this year’s playoffs. Who would even consider raising the question “What…
Hometown Girl Kia Vaughn Keeps Getting Better
If you never watched a Liberty game until this year, you would fall into the trap like many others who recognize Kia Vaughn’s skill, size and talent as those belonging to a veteran All-Star. Of course, you’d be wrong because Vaughn, only in her third year in the WNBA, was…
Liberty face do-or-die scenario tonight
There was no getting around it: the Liberty had to go on the road and steal a game if they were to have a shot at winning its first round series against Indiana. That tenet still holds true, but the twist is that New York must first win tonight at…
Liberty, Fever square off as WNBA Playoffs begin
Are you craving some good basketball? With owners and the NBA Players Association still squabbling, or shall I say not even talking to one another, the reality of watching regular season hoops this fall is wishful thinking. And some skeptics believe, and rightfully so, that the NBA will likely scrap…
New York Liberty Must Head Into Postseason On A High Note
As I predicted last week, the Liberty dropped to fourth place in the Eastern Conference standings and are now in line to face No. 1 Indiana in the opening round of the WNBA playoffs. I wish that my forecast had been wrong. If you look at the bottom line, yes,…
Playoff Picture Clearing Up For New York Liberty
The Liberty aren’t just hoping to steal a victory from Minnesota during this weekend’s home-and-home series with the Lynx. I think the best way to describe New York’s two games against the league’s best team and the final four games of the regular season simply as survival. With just three…
Liberty Preparing for the Playoff Wars
As I’ve done all season long, I gave the Liberty the benefit of the doubt. I completed 90 percent of a blog post following the team’s loss to Seattle last week, touching on points of inconsistency, lackadaisical play and a plea for veteran leadership. Instead of pressing send, however, I…
Latest Liberty Fan Poll Not So Great
The deadline to vote for the top three games in New York Liberty history is this Friday, but many fans are a little hesitant to actually cast a vote. Why you ask? Well, let’s consider that of the 15 nominated games posted on the team’s website, the most memorable victory in…
