1:48
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm joined by John Robertson and Michelle Garmin to discuss it.
1:52
[SPEAKER_00]: John, take it away.
1:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Listen, guys, it was really great.
1:58
[SPEAKER_01]: was really great to be in the building.
2:00
[SPEAKER_01]: The fans started a little slow.
2:02
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a little subdued at first, but by the end of the night, my goodness, Gainbridge was rocking.
2:07
[SPEAKER_01]: And it was really, it was really, it was really the fever outscored in every quarter, except for the second quarter where they tied.
2:15
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, they really came to play tonight.
2:17
[SPEAKER_01]: I was nervous at first, not gonna lie because they were a little careless with the ball at the beginning, but I want to focus on how well they stayed with it and kept playing and then the defense really was good.
2:29
[SPEAKER_01]: And just really proud of the effort the team put in tonight.
2:32
[SPEAKER_04]: I agree whole hard that, you know, I want to focus on their effort and the play of everyone tonight.
2:38
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, really.
2:39
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
2:40
[SPEAKER_00]: We've got an RFG for Michelle and I on our text, John.
2:44
[SPEAKER_01]: I know.
2:45
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't normally at least say bad words on the text, but I said, I had one for the end of the third quarter.
2:53
[SPEAKER_04]: Certainly understand.
2:54
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I'm just saying it was really fun.
2:58
[SPEAKER_04]: And what I love was seeing everybody.
3:02
[SPEAKER_04]: who came off that bench tonight, contribute.
3:06
[SPEAKER_04]: And they, every one of them that came up, contributed, I thought, Brianna, Brianna Turner almost looked like she did, when her third sea, three or four season, it was she just, she played very well for them and they needed that, and powers, man.
3:23
[SPEAKER_04]: That was your TJ McCon, and if you want to compare, powers was like TJ McConnell tonight.
3:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I was going to say I was going to say like aerial powers only has three points, but she had seven rebounds and her energy to get them like the fight like she had some pivotal moments where she got the energy going for the crowd and she like helped make some stops.
3:47
[SPEAKER_01]: It was huge.
3:48
[SPEAKER_01]: I really feel like aerial powers did a great job tonight.
3:50
[SPEAKER_01]: And what about Tim
3:56
[SPEAKER_01]: Which I had to believe considering how low little death we have, right?
3:59
[SPEAKER_01]: Everybody that wasn't injured got in the game, so that's good.
4:04
[SPEAKER_01]: I was actually really happy to see everybody kind of rally around Sims who had a really bad shooting night and she wasn't doing well and she made some bad passes and I don't want to call her out and say like she's terrible.
4:14
[SPEAKER_01]: I think she's been a great part of this team as they're trying to overcome all their stuff, but she had an off night, right?
4:19
[SPEAKER_01]: But everybody rallied around and kept her in it and she's finally at the end who had some really good assists that like got us up to the 22 23 point lead that was a big three.
4:28
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you know, I was big too.
4:32
[SPEAKER_04]: I thought that Stephanie White did a nice thing there because she took Boston and Mitchell out and then it came back in she subbed in for Howard a little bit and I was glad to see her actually leave.
4:47
[SPEAKER_04]: And of course, she kind of probably had you but Lisa Sims in there for as long as she did the fourth quarter, so she could get her could get into some kind of rhythm to carry that over into the next game.
4:59
[SPEAKER_01]: She started to get into it.
5:00
[SPEAKER_01]: She was trying it so hard.
5:00
[SPEAKER_01]: She made some really bad passes at the beginning.
5:02
[SPEAKER_01]: And I mean, they were, I guess I would characterize it.
5:05
[SPEAKER_01]: They were aggressive passes that just didn't work out.
5:07
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, we say, we've been Caitlin's playing.
5:09
[SPEAKER_01]: She does the same thing.
5:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Like if it's high risk, higher award.
5:12
[SPEAKER_01]: And they was landing on the risks I'd tonight.
5:16
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to sit here and rip on her.
5:17
[SPEAKER_01]: I think she played fine.
5:19
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's give it up for Leah Boston with 15 points.
5:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Seven for twelve from the field.
5:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Good game for her because Atlanta's a bit got some big talent.
5:27
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?
5:28
[SPEAKER_01]: It's hard for Leah in this map.
5:30
[SPEAKER_01]: This boss in this Atlanta matchup.
5:33
[SPEAKER_01]: She only averages 8.8 against the dream.
5:36
[SPEAKER_01]: So to have a 15.9 tonight and help carry the team is spectacular.
5:41
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, and I really liked it because she wasn't she wasn't backing down from Jones or Griner or anybody in there, either.
5:47
[SPEAKER_04]: They're not really like that she showed.
5:49
[SPEAKER_04]: She's been feisty this year, but I kind of like that a little bit of attitude and swag that she showed tonight.
5:56
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the whole team kind of had that going on after the way game one played out.
6:01
[SPEAKER_01]: Like everybody was sick and tired of the nonsense and they were like, we can't play this necessarily straight up.
6:06
[SPEAKER_01]: We have to come in here and just take it if we want it.
6:09
[SPEAKER_04]: They really did.
6:10
[SPEAKER_04]: I played hard.
6:11
[SPEAKER_04]: They were on the floor for those 50, 50 balls that coach that Stephanie White said that they didn't do a good job of getting or going after in game one and they went after them real hard tonight.
6:24
[SPEAKER_04]: It was really good and given up for Lexi and even powers, because powers got into a little bit of foul trouble too.
6:30
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, those two were tasked with having to stop Ryan Howard, who I thought was the only
6:40
[SPEAKER_04]: Ryan was the only dream player I thought that was consistent for them all night We always have to give Kelsey Mitchell some love because I mean 19 points.
6:49
[SPEAKER_01]: She leads all scores and she has been just the engine of this team for the for the most of the season right like she's our MVP We have to shout
7:00
[SPEAKER_01]: Kelsey no matter what.
7:01
[SPEAKER_01]: It is so much fun to be at a game in Watch Kelsey Mitchell when she is on fire.
7:05
[SPEAKER_01]: She is so fast and then she just pops up those threes and they're so smooth.
7:09
[SPEAKER_01]: I just it is fun to watch.
7:12
[SPEAKER_04]: She's the very quiet leader of this group.
7:17
[SPEAKER_04]: She's not vocal like Caitlin.
7:18
[SPEAKER_04]: She's not vocal like
7:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, since you mentioned Sophie and Kaylin, they were definitely in the years of the refs on the night and they were working the sidelines getting fans invested and involved, like I really appreciated what they were trying to do even though they're not in the game.
7:40
[SPEAKER_01]: They were trying to help have an impact on the game.
7:42
[SPEAKER_01]: And you got to respect that.
7:43
[SPEAKER_01]: You have absolutely have to respect that they're trying.
7:46
[SPEAKER_01]: They know the impact they have on the crowd.
7:48
[SPEAKER_01]: They know that the fans want to see it.
7:49
[SPEAKER_01]: So when they get up and get invested, like the crowd reacts.
7:53
[SPEAKER_01]: They're like conductors.
7:55
[SPEAKER_04]: those two in the the other injured players too because it they've got to that benchmark mentality in that you know we're going to get a we're going to be excited we're going to make noise and you're going to know that we're involved in this game if even if we're not in uniform and get you know the court we're we're involved we're best.
8:12
[SPEAKER_01]: Well then stop Caitlin from getting on the court I'm surprised she didn't get teed up tonight I'm not going to lie she was up in on the floor in the refs the years a couple of times but you know that is the whole
8:26
[SPEAKER_01]: With all that said, I have to say, if you haven't went to the buck score, the highest plus minus of the night, do you know who it is?
8:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Here's a roll, Lexi Hall is plus 19.
8:41
[SPEAKER_01]: She's the highest custom ritual of the 18.
8:43
[SPEAKER_01]: So give it up for Lexi Hall, have it an impact all night long.
8:47
[SPEAKER_01]: She only had seven points, but five personal files and five rebounds.
8:53
[SPEAKER_01]: So she was in their fight null night.
8:55
[SPEAKER_01]: She had a right-hower hating life.
8:58
[SPEAKER_01]: It was awesome.
9:00
[SPEAKER_01]: It was so good.
9:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Guys, I can't believe it's taking this long to get to this.
9:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Game three is on Thursday.
9:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Do the fee rev a chance.
9:09
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they have a chance.
9:10
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they absolutely have a chance.
9:12
[SPEAKER_01]: If they get a fair game, they've got a shot.
9:14
[SPEAKER_04]: I like it even more so because Boston and Mitchell, and because Hall's foul, because of Hall's foul trouble, and you know, even higher there, then they all got to get some rest on their legs.
9:32
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, they could have won a nail bite or but I think how they want today was important for them just because it bought them some extra rest that they know normally get and I think you know they think is this group they believe in them each other and they believe in themselves and they're going to go and give it everything they've got.
9:52
[SPEAKER_00]: And the aces are about the Jesson you're going to say,
10:01
[SPEAKER_01]: can in boat race with if they're hitting threes, which will be a problem.
10:05
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think that the fever absolutely have a chance as long as they're playing care.
10:10
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think it'll be as big of a win in game three if they get the win.
10:13
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it'll be a much closer game.
10:15
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the fever will be a close game.
10:17
[SPEAKER_01]: I think if Atlanta wins, it could be a blowout.
10:20
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's kind of just where I'm going to leave it.
10:21
[SPEAKER_01]: But I do think anyone has a chance.
10:23
[SPEAKER_01]: Do we know if they're playing in the
10:31
[SPEAKER_00]: at the Gateway Center in College Park, Georgia.
10:33
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that plays to Atlanta's favor also.
10:39
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll tell you what, like I don't, that you would have thought that Atlanta didn't know what it was like to have a crowd at a game because it was, it was funny.
10:46
[SPEAKER_04]: Rattled Atlanta, they're starting there about with about four months ago on that third, four, five months ago in the third quarter.
10:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, that was right when I texted you guys.
10:56
[SPEAKER_01]: I said, I would love to see, well, I think we had a three point lead at that time.
10:59
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe it was six.
10:59
[SPEAKER_01]: I would love to see the fever going around because I don't feel comfortable with where we are right now.
11:03
[SPEAKER_01]: And they did.
11:03
[SPEAKER_01]: They went on a run with about three minutes left to go in the fourth or third quarter.
11:07
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, it was a mask.
11:08
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and then it was over from there.
11:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think fever, I think they can.
11:12
[SPEAKER_01]: It'll be close.
11:13
[SPEAKER_01]: I took the money line tonight and it paid off pretty good.
11:15
[SPEAKER_01]: Naka.
11:16
[SPEAKER_01]: Nice.
11:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Vahages are about to put away the storm
11:25
[SPEAKER_00]: And on Wednesday, the Mercury and Liberty, the Liberty couldn't close out, and the links are in San Francisco, the links can close out.
11:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Do we have any update on, do we have any update on Stewie?
11:36
[SPEAKER_01]: I haven't seen anything.
11:37
[SPEAKER_04]: Game time decision.
11:38
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
11:39
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, she's probably out.
11:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
11:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
11:42
[SPEAKER_00]: I think she probably plays if she's a game time.
11:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, do you?
11:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
11:46
[SPEAKER_00]: That means she's hurt and not injured.
11:48
[SPEAKER_00]: And she's going to play through it if she can.
11:50
[SPEAKER_04]: And I'll try to pin on how our warm up goes, you know, if she warms up or like they're afternoon, she'd around or warm up whatever she gets a little swelling and that knee that'll probably keep her out is what would be my guess.
12:02
[SPEAKER_01]: What's all hope that New York can take out the horrible mercury that I can't stand?
12:07
[SPEAKER_01]: And the deasures take out Seattle.
12:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's hope for a big game three.
12:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Lexi Hall goes off and just went in.
12:16
[SPEAKER_01]: Scores 20 and then on fever win.
12:18
[SPEAKER_00]: What's what?
12:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Thanks, Michelle.
