Gotta Get Up!

🔴 Recorded LIVE June 1st at 7:30 PM ET.

The New York Liberty entered 2026 as favorites to win the WNBA title. Nine games in, they're 5-4 — and the last two wins came against a 2-7 team while turning the ball over 30+ times. Winning ugly is still winning. But is it enough?
We're going live to break it all down.

🗽 Is Betnijah Laney-Hamilton more valuable  off the bench than in the starting lineup? 
🗽Can Breanna Stewart sustain this workload over a full season? 
🗽 What's the honest assessment of Jonquel Jones so far? 
🗽 And what is the long-term role for rookie Pauline Astier in Chris DeMarco's system?

These are the questions that matter right now — and we're not sugarcoating the answers.
