00:00Let's talk about the WNBA before it started.

00:07You knew I had talked about Connecticut's defense would be the difference against the

00:11fever.

00:12I said they just are too good defensively.

00:14They did it again last night in the semis against the Lynx.

00:18They won that game, in my opinion, with defense and, you know, they made, I thought the Lynx

00:24best players take bad shots.

00:26And then the Liberty handled the Aces in game one in no sleep till.

00:31And they're both up one.

00:33And I think at the end of the day, I'm still on both of them to move to the finals.

00:39You know, with the Connecticut Sun, the under was the play.

00:43It was obvious because you have two arguably the best defensive teams in the sport.

00:48And now I think the over-under is like a 140-something, I think, for game number two.

00:53Alyssa Thomas, to me, was the key factor of Pharrell because not only was she diming and

01:00rebounding, she was scoring.

01:03And that's a level where Alyssa Thomas, when she can turn it on offensively, Pharrell,

01:07they are going to be good.

01:08Also, Scottie, shooting 41% from three.

01:12This is the worst three-point shooting team in the league.

01:15I do think it's going to be interesting in game number two.

01:18In regards to the Liberty, Pharrell, we've been waiting for Breanna Stewart to have that

01:22big moment versus the Aces.

01:24And she did.

01:25And she was dynamic.

01:27But you have to also talk about the play of Jon-Qual Jones, who is a match-up nightmare

01:33for the Aces.

01:35What do you do?

01:36Do you put Kia Stokes on her?

01:37Do you put Gustafsson on her?

01:38Do you put Aja Wilson on her?

01:40If Jon-Qual could beat that double-double machine with, obviously, Stewie, with Oneski

01:45who hits big shots, and don't sleep on the five-inch kid, the kid from Germany, who comes

01:50in the starting line-up by Sadie Bordello, they looked really good and looked last night

01:56why they should win the WNBA title.
