So maybe all those players who got experience off the bench and who have, you know, made contributions, maybe you go to them just for some fresh energy or some fresh blood.

And so, you know, that's something that people, you know, have considered and things like that.

But

You know, on the other side, you have Satu Sabali, who had such a great bounce-back game for them.

After shooting two for 17 from the field, she comes back with 15 points.

Alyssa Thomas, 15 points.

Kalia Copper, 15 points.

DeJuana Bonner has been huge off the bench.

And actually, you know, the whole thing with Stewie almost consumed the game.

Like, I found myself throughout the day consuming reports about Stewie's updates.

hearing that it wasn't as bad as we thought, then hearing her discuss the injury and her saying like she's going to play through it and like that it's not really good though.

And many of us are like, no, this sounds horrible.

And it just felt like the injury report

started to consume the ethos around the Liberty.

And sometimes that can be like a negative, as opposed to just saying, Stewie, we're going to have you sit and maybe game three, if needed, you know, or the next series, we're going to have you, but we're going to hold this down because the Liberty have more than enough talent, I believe,

to win without Stewie and not just against the Mercury, but they just have so much talent.

And so in a way, if you watch the game, she got isolated a lot.

It was Satu Sabli with her at the top.

They would set a screen with Sabrina's girl.

So if the switch happened, she's attacking Sabrina.
