Back to basketball...Olivia Miles had a monster game last night. She broke the single game rookie 3pt record with 8 against GS. Her line was 28 pts, 4 reb, 7 ast, 3 blocks with only 1 turnover. Threes were the only real issue in her game this year. She had only two before last night. I would also say he defense is way better than advertised coming out of college.


Lost in the Miles hype is this insane stat:

In just 10 games, Nia Coffey broke the season record for blocked 3 point shots.

Bridget Carlton was a greatly underappreciated defensive / glue player for the Lynx. Coffey is even better in that role IMO.


Maybe Sweens or DL know.....was she that great on defense before coming here?


Yes, but more of a wing than a big like Coffey.

Carlton is a tremendous POA defender that can handle being switched onto smaller bigs.

Yep. Both are versatile POA and team defenders, but Coffey can better handle the physicality on the inside.


Seems her offense was unlocked also.

I didn't realize they had even picked teams yet. Congratulations to both.

Other good news is that Phee and Juhasz both resumed full practice yesterday. They had been participating in 2 on 2 and 3 on 3, but yesterday was full practice with no restrictions.

A couple of recent, terrific Miles articles by two of the best covering the WNBA:

Olivia Miles is injured. Probably not gonna be available to play in the ASG.

You think a calf strain is going to keep her out for 3 weeks?

I didn't know it was 3 weeks away. But it's possible. Calf (soft issue) injuries can be lingery. Just ask Josh Donaldson.

She's the best guard in the league.

Miles has moved ahead of Clark and Bueckers and into second place in MVP odds.




Jeff Jesser -> RE: Minnesota Lynx (8/9/2026 3:41:03 PM)

I'm not a BB guy per se. Hockey is my #1 for the winter sports but I've played enough pickup ball to know the sport well enough. I say that to say, I'm no expert. What I can say, with 100& certainty, the Lynx are damn fun to watch.

It's halftime against Dallas and I have no idea how it will end. What seems crazy is that when she get hot, McBride can drop a pebble in a coke can from 40+ feet out [:-]




TJSweens -> RE: Minnesota Lynx (8/9/2026 8:27:28 PM)

And it finished with a win and K-Mac scoring 43 and setting the WNBA record for 3's in a game with 10. What made that all the more impressive that she was guarding Paige Bueckers all game. Olivia Miles edged Bueckers in the head to head match up with 20 points and 13 assists.




Ricky J -> RE: Minnesota Lynx (8/11/2026 12:29:13 PM)

Went to the last Lynx/Fever game at The TC. OMG, will never do that again without ear plugs - and Im not talking about the fan noise, either. Enjoyed the bus ride from the MOA to the stadium. I had no idea the trains were being (serviced?). Been awhile since Ive been to the Mpls.
