Brian and Erica recap the  @NewYorkLiberty 80-98 loss to the  @WashMystics in the final game of the regular season. As fate would have it, Washington and New York will meet in the first round of the 2023 WNBA Playoffs. 

Later in the week, join us for a special Postgame Preview episode with Brian, Erica, and Misha Jones. 

The New York Liberty are the hottest team in the WNBA with only one week left in the 2023 regular season. Brian Fleurantin and Misha Jones join Erica L. Ayala to recap Liberty's wins over the Connecticut Sun and  Chicago Sky.

The trio also discusses how New York played without Sabrina Ionescu (rest, calf) and if we'll see head coach Sandy Brondello opt to rest other players ahead of the playoffs.

Finally, what does Misha think about the Washington Mystics playoff chances given their continued issues with injury this season?

The  @NewYorkLiberty have won 11 of their last 12 games with two weeks left in the 2023  @WNBA season. During that stretch, they have defeated the  @LVAces three times, including in the 2023 WNBA Commissioner's Cup. 

Mathematically speaking, the Liberty can still earn the top seed and home-court advantage. Gotta Get Up host Erica L. Ayala and Brian Fleurantin recap the 94-85 win over the Aces on Monday night and discuss what New York needs to do to earn the top seed.
