I’m basically right.

I’m basically right.
Halftime. Don’t look at the shot count. Yikes.
Gotham only has a press rn, but it’s cutting off the Spirit’s main line of attack.
Game needs the following :
1) Deb Abiodun.
2) More passive-aggressive side-eye after tackles
3) One mistake. Hopefully by Gotham. This is a hard watch.
