Lynx whup the Mercury 85-63 in game 1. Diana Taurasi picks up a technical for kissing Simone Augustus during a shoving match.

There were no T's given just a double foul. But now that I looked at what happened, Seimone shouldn't have gotten a foul.
But the Lynx took care of business and should send the Mercury fishing after Sundays game.

This game was complete domination and a 1st half defensive clinic by the Lynx. Love this team [sm=high5.gif]

Great game and what a great crowd

All in all if Taurasi wants to go that way it is only a plus for the Lynx. There was an article in the paper on how Reeves thinks Augustus is too nice out there some times and that wants her to play pissed off more often. If Psycho wants to piss her off like that it's fine with me.

quote:

" 'Mone is not good until she gets pissed off," Reeve said. " 'Mone is a lover, not a fighter. So if she can, she’ll want everybody to have fun. You have to find something to piss her off. And If I have to be the one to piss her off, I don’t care. Because a pissed off Seimone, a motivated Seimone, is a really good player. And I’ll take one for the team if I have to."

quote:

"We look at Rebekkah Brunson as our defensive anchor," Augustus said. "She's had some of the toughest assignments being matched up on Candice Dupree and sometimes Brittney Griner. (It) just kind of ignited us tonight."

quote:

Minnesota played well defensively. The Lynx held Phoenix to 34.3 percent shooting for the game, kept Brittney Griner contained (13 points, four rebounds), forced 18 turnovers (leading to 24 Lynx points) and kept Bonner and Dupree very, very quiet.

quote:

... Minnesota were also well aware that while the talk may have surrounded Phoenix’s improvements, they’ve just been consistently good for three years. Sometimes the ‘new’ draws a lot of attention without acknowledgement that there’s something still hanging around that’s been better all along.

Great game, great crowd. Starters were being pulled with over 6 minutes remaining.

I think the Wolves should use Maya until Chase returns. [:D]

When Minnesota play to this kind of level, it’s virtually impossible for anyone else to live with them, regardless of the opposition’s performance.

quote:

Leaving aside the one game “series” in 1997, there have been four previous occasions when a team won Game 1 of the finals by 10+ points. Only one of them managed to win Game 2. Two of the four went on to lose the series, including the only other team to win Game 1 by 20+ points. No team has ever won both Game 1 and Game 2 of the finals by double digits.
