The pair breaks down why this matchup is expected to be unlike most of the first round matchups, and why the Mystics have been successful against the Liberty during the regular season. Also, they close with keys to winning the series for both teams, who the X-factors are and then series predictions. You don’t want to miss this episode!

“We’re going to get a really great series between two teams that have a lot of star potential and can play in a lot of different ways. I think both teams are versatile, have a lot of weapons, and I think it’s going to be a really exciting matchup across the board whether you like offense, whether you like defense, whether you like bigs whether you like guards, you know, there’s kind of something for everybody here.”
