Offensively the matchups favor the Mercury. Diana Taurasi, Penny Taylor and Candice Dupree win the matchups at the 2, &4 over Augustus, Moore and Brunson. The Lynx have the decided advantage at point and center. The Mercury also have DeWanna Bonner who has won the 6th player of the year award 3 years running. Phoenix was 1st in offense at 89 ppg, the Lynx were 3rd at 81.5 ppg. Luckily defense is part of the game. The Lynx were second in the league in defense giving up 73.6 ppg, while Phoenix was 12th, giving up 86 ppg. The Lynx are also a little stonger on the boards.

Now I'm confused. Are we playing the Phoenix or the Mercury?


Yes.

Whalen comes in 5th in MVP voting. Augustus 8th.

Lame.

292 Tamika Catchings, Indiana Fever
209 Tina Charles, Connecticut Sun
148 Sylvia Fowles, Chicago Sky
106 Sue Bird, Seattle Storm
104 Lindsay Whalen, Minnesota Lynx
70 Angel McCoughtry, Atlanta Dream
65 Diana Taurasi, Phoenix Mercury
33 Seimone Augustus, Minnesota Lynx

Thought our candidates were much more legit than that.
Looks like a popularity/name recognition contest



David Levine -> RE: Lynx Play-off Stuff (9/22/2011 4:23:43 PM)

I have to think Whalen and Augustus stole votes from each other as well.



David Levine -> RE: Lynx Play-off Stuff (9/22/2011 8:19:43 PM)

This is how you start a Playoff game!

Lynx up 15-3.



SoMnFan -> RE: Lynx Play-off Stuff (9/22/2011 8:27:03 PM)

Niiiiiiiiice.
These women seem to get it ... impose your will on teams not as talented as you.
Very un-Minnesota-like.  [:D]



David Levine -> RE: Lynx Play-off Stuff (9/22/2011 8:29:12 PM)

Augustus doing it on both ends. She's really making Taurasi take BAD shots.

Yep, the perception of having a team of all stars makes it harder for any individual star to get her due. Interesting that Tina Charles who we essentially traded for Whalen was 2nd.



David Levine -> RE: Lynx Play-off Stuff (9/22/2011 8:30:35 PM)

Maya passing up the 3 and driving hard to the hoop!

Awesome to see. She's really growing as a player.



David Levine -> RE: Lynx Play-off Stuff (9/22/2011 8:31:30 PM)

She did it again!!!



David Levine -> RE: Lynx Play-off Stuff (9/22/2011 8:34:13 PM)

28-11 after 1.

And it wasn't that close. We missed a handful of bunnies.



David Levine -> RE: Lynx Play-off Stuff (9/22/2011 8:35:10 PM)

Maya Moore: 13 points on 4-5 shooting.
Phoenix: 11 points on 3-18 shooting.

Are the freaking men who are supposed to play at Target watching this?
How many years have we wanted a TWolf to put the ball to the wood and drive to the hole?

The Lynx play a much better looking brand of basketball than we ever did under Rambis.



David Levine -> RE: Lynx Play-off Stuff (9/22/2011 8:52:30 PM)

Lead down to 10. Have to get back to what we were doing. PHX can score in bunches.



David Levine -> RE: Lynx Play-off Stuff (9/22/2011 8:56:56 PM)

Taurasi cuts it to 8, but goes out limping hard.

Together they'd only get to 4th. That's a travesty, considering how they dominated the league.

Heckuva play to finish the half. Whalen wow.



David Levine -> RE: Lynx Play-off Stuff (9/22/2011 9:02:25 PM)

11 point lead at the half.

The final 2 thanks to an AMAZING hustle play by Whalen.

WNBA MVP voters always undervalue PGs. I don't think one has ever won the award.

Moore is the X factor in the series. Her season numbers don't quite stack up to Phoenix's forwards, but she is the bigger talent and still growing into her game. Some vintage Moore performances at this point would definitely push the Lynx into the finals.



kgdabom -> RE: Lynx Play-off Stuff (9/22/2011 9:21:14 PM)

There were a lot of possible candidates for MVP this year. Catchings probably won it as a life time achievement as she has come close so many times. Lynx are getting burned quick in the third quarter lead is down to six.



David Levine -> RE: Lynx Play-off Stuff (9/22/2011 9:30:15 PM)

Taj is just ageless.

She beats everyone up and down the floor, she dives for the ball. Hasn't missed a game in 4 years and still plays 30 minutes a night.

Have to agree. Amazing at 40 years old. She has a season or two left I think.



David Levine -> RE: Lynx Play-off Stuff (9/22/2011 9:38:55 PM)

I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone flat out enjoy playing basketball more than Candice Wiggins.
