Summary
The defending champions are off to a rocky start — and we're getting into all of it. Journalist & w omen’s sports pioneer Ari Chambers joins Gotta Get Up! to break down what's really happening with the New York Liberty in 2026. We're taking a calm, clear-eyed look at the Liberty's 3-4 start — from player performance and roster construction to life under new head coach Chris DeMarco. Are Liberty fans right to be worried, or is this a classic early-season overreaction? Ari helps us separate the noise from the real concerns. And we can't let Ari leave without talking New York basketball at large — because the Knicks just swept the Cavaliers to reach the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999. We're getting her take on what it means for the city. Plus — you might not know this, but Ari's connection to the Liberty runs deep. Before she was covering women's sports on ESPN, she was a member of the Liberty's Torch Patrol. We're going there.
