Special shoutout to Sabrina. After all the hate all season long she has proved she’s a playoff riser.
Our bigs were terrible today. Expected more from Stewie, JJ, Leo, and Han today.
Hot take: Marine Fauthoux should have more minutes than Marine Johannes.
Marine Johannes is just not a playoff caliber player. Not a Sandy brondello fan, but I get it now.

One of these systems of offense clearly works, one clearly doesn't. There is no way they don't know that at this point. Yet they somehow let what went down today transpire in a playoff game.
Haven’t seen this before. Intensity from the alternate ref. I wonder what was being said in the discussion.
Edit: This was after a lengthy review for the NY challenge with Ionescu/Canada. She’s looking directly at the blonde ref as the three talk.
