Kalyne Godbolt Tamika catchings plays....:) Tim Freerksen Erin and Katie can help out Catchings Deejay Lavergne This 3 day break is going to be good for them. Lin Dunn is one of the best, she will have them ready. Torino Johnson ‎ ‎...don't give Pondexter, Powell, and Mitchell open looks and keep the Liberty off the glass. Indiana should sweep. Ashley Lizardo If my girl Katie Dougles balls hard=) gonna be a good series tho. Judy Lambright ... they out rebound and not give New York second chance baskets. If they keep the turnovers below 10 and if we get our post game scoring double digits. Georgette Burvee Davenport plays hard and the team decides to play all 40 minutes not anything less. Elliot Pondexter Liberty in a sweep. Indiana not gettin back. @Jakers31780 @WNBA @IndianaFever they play Fever Basketball....and remember we are Indiana...where basketball is a way of life!!

Brett Schwan some sort of miracle takes place? Biggy Fred Try , try try, again again again Colin B. Titcomb They play strong defense, Cappie has some MONSTER games, and they lock down Katie and Tamika. I think it's going to be Fever in three, though. Ashley Wells ‎ ... and only if... the entire Indiana Fever team retire... Darnell Jefferson If the X-Factor Essence Carson do her thang.Let's go liberty. Bring that white line defense baby Rus White Cappie goes off and NY helps and Catchings/Douglas don't go off even if the rest of Indy does help.
