Joel BassHOST
I don't feel like she did.
Joel BassHOST
Because I can remember, like, Nia Coffey did.
Joel BassHOST
Yeah.
Jordan BassHOST
All right, well, let's give it to Maya Caldwell then.
TempestHOST
And that's concerning when it comes to playoffs.
StephanieHOST
I mean, it's tough because like you have some of these girls who had more minutes when Nafisa Collier was injured and they were doing pretty well like Nia Coffey, Maya Caldwell.
TempestHOST
Do you think they've settled with the idea that Mama Fia is back?
StephanieHOST
maybe i just think honestly they have to practice different now that fees back and so like
Tori PhillipsHOST
And I think the team defense as a whole has been good.
Tori PhillipsHOST
And Nia Coffey is a great defender.
Tori PhillipsHOST
But it's like I think you do and you did give up a lot when you let Bridget Carlton go.
Tori PhillipsHOST
And so it's like you really don't have somebody to put on your best player consistently, at least not in the way that like she was able to handle some of that.
Sabrina MerchantHOST
And the Lynx are a little bit smaller, you know? They play Kayla McBride, Courtney Williams, and Olivia Miles in the back court, and you can kind of body them a little bit if you have a bigger front court.
Sabrina MerchantHOST
Like, we've seen Cheryl Reeve lean on some of these bigger lineups with Nia Coffey at the three or Fe at the three next to, like, Natasha Howard and Dorka Juhász, but it's not their default setting, right? Their default setting is they've-
Zena KeitaHOST
Mm-hmm
Sabrina MerchantHOST
... got Fe at the four, Tasha at the five, and they're great front court players, don't get me wrong, but they're also a little undersized for their position.
Kim SpitzfadenHOST
Bench players got some credit for the comeback.
Kim SpitzfadenHOST
Also, Nia Coffey's
Karen SpitzfadenHOST
on our bench.
Karen SpitzfadenHOST
Like, get out of here saying we have no bench.
Cheryl ReeveGUEST
Let's just get right to it." And in week two, I just, I brought Courtney in and I said, "Hey, uh, I think we wanna, you know, turn the, turn the reins over to Liv and let her just go," you know? And, and, uh, you know, she stood up and she said, "Let's..." you know, in the only way Courtney can, you know, "Let's go all height and, and I think it's the right thing, and I can go back to my natural spot." Uh, and so that last week, that third week, boom, we, we just sort of took off.
Cheryl ReeveGUEST
Nia Coffey having, uh, her best, best, uh, season in her career.
Cheryl ReeveGUEST
It's about opportunity as we're seeing around the league, whether it's expansion or a team like ours, maybe some dilution- Uh, in our team, and so new opportunities around the league, and, um, and then obvi- and Natasha Howard coming back, and everybody just sort of fitting.
Cheryl ReeveGUEST
Those, that starting five really fitting really, really special through the first half of the season.
Andrew DukowitzHOST
Chloe might be going that way as well, where they're not here on Sunday.
Andrew DukowitzHOST
I guess just what are you most interested in seeing from, you know, like the Ola Kosu's or the Nia Coffey's or the bench players that are going to be here in that game on Sunday?
Britt RobsonGUEST
Well, coffee's easy because, um, she obviously thrives with the starters and has more difficulty.
Britt RobsonGUEST
Coffee pride yourself on being a supplement on being a compliment.
9 MINS LATER
Britt RobsonGUEST
And...
Britt RobsonGUEST
I think like Coffey, if she is open and has time, she absolutely needs to be a 40 plus three point shooter to be effective on the court, to be more effective on the court.
Britt RobsonGUEST
I think Nia Coffey has more intangibles than Dorka and can probably get away with missing more threes.
Britt RobsonGUEST
But you still, Cheryl's made a political decision.
Andrew DukowitzGUEST
It feels like they have put together a team of a lot of players that are familiar with each other.
Andrew DukowitzGUEST
I mean, Natasha Howard's played with a lot of people in Turkey, Nia Coffey from Minnesota.
Andrew DukowitzGUEST
Really easy game.
Andrew DukowitzGUEST
They keep their top you know, their, their big three of court Mac and fee, and then live is just this connector that fits with everybody.
Stephen PridGeon GarnerGUEST
They have a complimentary faction of role players that do well in filling in the gaps around their top tier players.
Stephen PridGeon GarnerGUEST
They have role players that can step up out of their role at any given moment, like we've seen with Nia Coffey and Natasha Howard in multiple respects this season.
Stephen PridGeon GarnerGUEST
What a fun team.
Stephen PridGeon GarnerGUEST
Start with them as just the kind of team that everybody's playing catch up to right now.
HGHOST
She's getting to the line a good amount, knocking down those a lot.
HGHOST
So that's just, even you look at the depth, I mean, you have like Nia Coffey, strong player coming off the bench um they don't really run too deep of a rotation too but it it works out for them uh well they do have a sorry they do have a deep rotation uh but they just they they're really able to keep there's starters out there for a lot of minutes and they're just able to cycle through and usually have a starter on the floor.
HGHOST
It's it'll be tough to beat Minnesota, but like I said, you've got the ACEs best player in the world championship caliber team as well.
HGHOST
They still, they have a pretty good backcourt duo and Jackie young and Chelsea gray as well.
