LJ stands still for a second, obviously so I can get this good shot of her!

Kelly should stop Bogarting the ball!

Rats.

All right, we're really pulling those lob passes in...
|
16.jpg
...but no foul here?
|

|

Foul!
|
22.jpg
Uh. maybe a foul.

Get out of Sue's way.

Good God Jenny's wingspan is like half the court!
|
34.jpg
She must be great when lightbulbs need to be changed.

Why is Pat playing backgammon with her players during this timeout?
|
36.jpg
The three stages of a flop. Number one: Opportunity. "Maybe a flop will help here. It's not really cheating."
|
37.jpg
The second stage: Justifying. "If I hit the floor hard enough it should be a foul."
|
38.jpg
The third stage: Denial. "That was a foul. A foul, I tell you!"
|
39.jpg
The fourth stage: Acceptance. "OK that wasn't really a foul but I do have a pretty smile."
|

What the? Some bozo is ignoring the "No flashes" rule and is blinding players on the court...
|
42.jpg
...but since it was a Liberty player this time, no harm done.
|
43.jpg
|
44.jpg
|

|

|

Some serious boxing out after the shot...
|
48.jpg
...but Janell is OK.
|
49.jpg
Classic LJ move: put some distance between her and the defender...
|
50.jpg
|
51.jpg
...then wait for the foul when the defender attempts to catch up...
|
52.jpg
...now about that foul.
|
53.jpg
|
54.jpg
Watch out Loree. You don't want to get ejected.
|
55.jpg
This was a really convincing fake. Lawson pretends to take a shot. This usually fools no one...
|
56.jpg
...but Kraayeveld completely falls for it leaving Janell with a mismatch under the basket.
|
57.jpg
|
58.jpg
|

|

These are not happy times for the Liberty.
|
61.jpg
Here's where Loree Moore starts to annoy me. The knee-up-the-ass technique doesn't usually work...
|
62.jpg
...Betty simply steps forward and Loree finds herself completely trapped behind a screen...
|
63.jpg
...as Loree notices her mistake, she grabs Janell by the waist so she can't roll. This is just illegal...
|
64.jpg
|
65.jpg
...here long after the screen, Loree still has her hand in Janell's kidney. Where were the refs?
|
66.jpg
|
67.jpg
|
68.jpg
|
69.jpg
When you're ahead by a lot, even little mistakes are fun...
|
70.jpg
...that darn ball must have smashed Betty's knee cap when it bounced off her and went out of bounds.
|
71.jpg
|
72.jpg
Of all the Liberty players, Shameka Christon looked totally agressive and determined to cut the lead down...
|
73.jpg
...I guess this could have been an offensive foul, but it didn't look like a typical one so you know the refs would never call it.
|
74.jpg
Watch how Shameka completely prevents Betty from gettng the ball...
|
75.jpg
...then immediately screens when Baker gets it.
|
76.jpg
|
77.jpg
|

Here was another cute flop from Barbara Farris...
|
81.jpg
...whoops.
|
82.jpg
|
83.jpg
Another excellent Shameka Christon moment. She looks around and sees absolutely nothing...
|
84.jpg
...so she just plunks it in like it was nothing.
|
85.jpg
|
86.jpg
|
87.jpg
I saw none of Loree's technical fouls and cannot comment on them.
|

|
91.jpg
|
92.jpg
Yes, Kraayeveld, we know how much you love the ball.
|
93.jpg
Nothing picks up the excitement of a blow out more than refs stopping the game to discuss amongst themselves...
|
94.jpg
...oh, and those seven more seconds on the shot clock made the crowd go wild!
|
95.jpg
|
96.jpg
|
97.jpg
So now we have our B-team playing their A-team. We're not doing too well.
|
98.jpg
Again, we turn the ball over and they fast break.
|

Coolest pass of the night. This behind the back pass completely threw Tanisha off...
|
101.jpg
...she was like, "Where did the ball go?"...
|
102.jpg
...then Erin was like, "Where did the ball go?"...
|
103.jpg
...then she was like, "Oh yeah, the behind the back pass!"
|
104.jpg
|
105.jpg
Erin attempts to punch holes in the Storm defense with the power of her mind!...
|
106.jpg
...but that doesn't work so she throws in a three pointer.
|
107.jpg
Back door pass to...
|
108.jpg
...Kraayeveld.
|
109.jpg
|

Whoops, a foul. The Liberty A-team was doing pretty well against our B-tteam.
