00:00Brianna Stewart has looked like she's already in mid-season form.
00:02She's been cooking.
00:03She's been highly efficient.
00:04And also, like, as a leader earlier this year,
00:07she now seems to be even more assertive as a leader here for the Liberty.
00:10What have you noticed about her with that?
00:11I mean, they've needed her to be a leader, right?
00:13I think that when you're down Sabrina, you're down several other players.
00:18I mean, somebody has to step up as a leader.
00:20It's no surprise that it's Brianna Stewart.
00:21And there was actually something that really stood out to me.
00:25After Tuesday's loss, I asked Brianna about the third quarter issues
00:29because that was something we talked a lot about last year, right?
00:31The team just always seemed to open up second halves flat.
00:35And they would dig themselves in these holes or they would lose their lead
00:38and then they're trying to play catch-up, you know,
00:40or trying to, like, regain it, whatever.
00:43And so I asked Brianna about that and she said, that's on me.
00:46Like, I got to do â like, that's on me that we're not starting third quarter
00:49as well or whatever.
00:50And you could see there was a point of emphasis.
00:53And Jonquo Jones even told me after Thursday's win that Brianna said something
00:58before they went to the court about, you know, let's not make this a thing.
01:01Let's not make third quarter Zara Achilles heel again.
01:04That is what a leader does.
01:05It doesn't â it's not somebody that just says the right things.
01:07It's also somebody that has, like, backs it up with their actions.
01:11And you can always expect that out of a Brianna Stewart.
01:13Let's do it.
