Is the Bibberty Back? Liberty Playoff Scenarios & the Sabrina Question
The New York Liberty went 2-1 in their last three games — beat the number one seed in Minnesota, lost to Atlanta in a back-to-back they should have been better in, and ground out a win over Connecticut. One regular season game left. Wednesday at Barclays against the Dream, and then it's playoff time.Erica and Brian break down what the Minnesota win actually proved about this team's defensive ceiling, why the Atlanta loss still has questions attached, and the honest conversation everyone is having — what version of Sabrina Ionescu shows up when the margin for error disappears in a three-game series?They also map out the playoff seeding scenarios, dig into what Chris DeMarco has and hasn't figured out, and make the case that the Liberty's ceiling is still real — if the right players decide to show up.Plus: Erica is an official WNBA awards voter and explains her ballot process ahead of Friday's submission.

Liberty Players Are Taking Over Berlin!
Six New York Liberty players are competing in the 2026 FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup in Berlin — and every single one of them has a different story to tell.Breanna Stewart is carrying a younger USA team through a tournament that's already proven to be anything but easy. When nobody else could make a shot against Italy, Stewart was the one grabbing rebounds, switching out on everything, blowing up coverages, and doing the dirty work that kept USA alive. She's simultaneously a top-tier superstar and a lunch pail player — and for a young Team USA that's still finding its footing, that combination may be the difference between a gold medal and an early exit. Head coach Kara Lawson knows it too: with Chelsea Gray and Stewie as her veteran anchors, the question isn't whether Stewart is needed — it's how much she can carry before the knockout rounds get harder.France has been the calmest team in the field, and Marine Johannès and Pauline Astier are a big reason why — Astier leading Team France in assists as a rookie is not something anyone saw coming. Han Xu is shooting over 50 percent in all categories for China heading into the knockout round. Raquel Carrera and Spain survived a scare of their own in the group stage. And Leonie Fiebich is carrying the torch for Germany — as the host nation — with the group stage nearly sending them home before they got through.Erica talked to Leo about what hosting means for women's basketball in Germany, and the answer tells you everything about what's at stake for her personally. Along with Satou Sabally, Leo has defined a generation of German basketball — and this World Cup is her biggest stage yet.Erica L.
