About Us

Elephant (she/her) and Torch (he/him) started going to Liberty games in 2025 and have been doing the Ellie Wave ever since. Torch is a Sabrina Ionescu loyalist with a box-score brain. Elephant rides for the starters every game but loses it when Han Xu checks in. From the corner of Atlantic and Flatbush, we write about seafoam dreams and New York Liberty basketball.

Dream vs. Liberty, 9/23/26

The Liberty finished the regular season at home on Wednesday September 23rd, losing to a dominant Atlanta Dream team on Fan Appreciation Night. 

At the door, we received replica courts. They’re tan bricks with plastic stands. Cool. We’re still deciding where ours belongs. We missed the foam […]

Dream 95 @ Liberty 84 – Wednesday September 23, 2026 8PM

Jump Ball! It seemed like this game was filled with jump balls and after some investigation seems there were roughly 230 games in WNBA history since 2006 (more on this later) that had 4 jump balls. The record is set at 9 jump balls in a game.

Number of Jump Balls (excluding opening […]

Oxtail No. 2, Han Xu No. 1 (or, the “Give It to Han” game)

Liberty vs. Sky

West Indian Night announced itself before we had fully entered Barclays. No one is paying attention to the ticket reader (psa: adjust the brightness on your phone and have the tickets ready) because just beyond the scanners, everyone was dazzled by Carnival mas. 

At the entrance, Moko Jumbies […]

Sky 66 @ Liberty 85 – Saturday August 29, 2026 1PM

Han Xu scored a WNBA career-high 19 points in this game, surpassing her previous high of 17 against the Mercury on August 1. What a month she is having! One unassisted layup and five free throws accounted for seven points. Rebekah Gardner set up two more, while Leonie Fiebich and Rebecca Allen each […]

Liberty vs. Fever

On a late summer Saturday when the city left for the beach, everybody else was at Barclays Center. 

Atlantic and Flatbush were loud. The plaza, before tip-off, held two competing demonstrations. Inside, the factions were more straightforward.

The sold out arena at capacity (17, 581) […]

Fever 102 @ Liberty 109 – Saturday August 22, 2026 7PM

Leonie Fiebich is back! She’s been gone for 7 weeks, 16 games and for the Fever game, she was supposed to play restricted minutes. Fiebich played 33 minutes, 51 seconds and finished with 20 points, five rebounds and five assists.

In the end, Indiana FG 57.1% and, with that, they usually win. […]

A Little Awkward, Extremely Lopsided

We witnessed the Liberty having their Sunday brunch, care of WNBA scheduling.

Las Vegas had tipped off in Minnesota on Saturday afternoon. New York tipped at 12:30 Sunday. That’s 23½ hours between scheduled starts, plus a flight from Minneapolis to New York. A’ja Wilson, Chelsea Gray and Jackie Young had played 33, […]
