When you become the leagues premiere team, you will get everyone's best game every time out.
It's why I've always respected the types who could play for the Yankees, the Red Sox, the lakers, the celtics, etc ....
You bring it every day or you will get your ass handed to you.
I'm betting the Lynx will respond nicely.



David Levine -> RE: Minnesota Lynx (6/15/2014 12:48:06 PM)

We need to find defense somewhere. This business about letting teams shoot 41% from 3 ON THE SEASON needs to stop.

And Maya has no legs on her jumper. Hope she's just tired and not hurting.



David Levine -> RE: Minnesota Lynx (6/15/2014 1:16:17 PM)

Far too much iso ball the last 2 games. What happened to our beautiful passing?



David Levine -> RE: Minnesota Lynx (6/15/2014 1:22:14 PM)

Liston and White with back-to-back 3s to cut it to 12 with 11 seconds left in the 3rd.



SoMnFan -> RE: Minnesota Lynx (6/15/2014 1:23:15 PM)

They'll win yet ...



David Levine -> RE: Minnesota Lynx (6/15/2014 1:23:31 PM)

Griner hits with 2 left. Down 14 going to the 4th.



kgdabom -> RE: Minnesota Lynx (6/15/2014 1:29:30 PM)

Taurasi is playing Point for the Mercury and Griner is looking ready to dominate now. We won the 3rd quarter by 5 but still down 14 entering the 4th. It is going to be very hard to win this game and very hard to repeat.



David Levine -> RE: Minnesota Lynx (6/15/2014 1:30:52 PM)

Our lack of moving off the ball is atrocious. The only thing uglier is our unawareness on defense,

Taurasi often plays PG - she's 5th in the league in assists.

Griner is killing us whenever McCarville sits down. Griner still really struggles against size, but she can exploit us when we go small.



David Levine -> RE: Minnesota Lynx (6/15/2014 1:34:31 PM)

Monica Wright!



David Levine -> RE: Minnesota Lynx (6/15/2014 1:34:54 PM)

Maya is 5 of her last 30 from 3. No legs on her shot.



kgdabom -> RE: Minnesota Lynx (6/15/2014 1:49:12 PM)

At least we won the second half both third and fourth quarters. We got Monica back. Some silver linings.



David Levine -> RE: Minnesota Lynx (6/15/2014 1:49:51 PM)

Cut it to 8 with 1:01 left. Our final run has come with 4 starters on the bench.

Looking like a second straight game of spotting a team 20 and not being able to claw all the way back.



David Levine -> RE: Minnesota Lynx (6/15/2014 1:50:34 PM)

We've thrown the ball away the past 2 possessions...



David Levine -> RE: Minnesota Lynx (6/15/2014 1:51:20 PM)

Phoenix can't score, but we can't take advantage. 14-3 run, still down 6 with 30 to go.



David Levine -> RE: Minnesota Lynx (6/15/2014 1:53:30 PM)

90% Candace Dupree with 2 bricks at the line. 2/6 on the game.



David Levine -> RE: Minnesota Lynx (6/15/2014 1:56:59 PM)

Mirror image of our last game.

Now lost 3 of 4.

That's one major key to me, ball movement.



Minnyme -> RE: Minnesota Lynx (6/17/2014 1:12:56 AM)

Starting the season as they did down 1 all-star post, leagues best 6th woman and the 1st post off the bench, was superhuman. As we've noted the starters have played huge mins & I think it's starting to catch up to them [sm=giving-up.gif] But 8-3 for the 1st 1/3 of the season I'll take.

They are now 2 games in (0-2) on a 6 games in 10 day stretch [:-] [:(] And starting with this LA game, 4 games in 6 days [:-][:-][:-][:-][:-][:-][:-] (in 3 cities)
Phx was sitting here waiting for the Lynx to get back from ATL and they will be sitting around relaxing waiting for the Lynx again who will pllay them on 2nd nite of back to back from LA. Can't get much crazier then this [sm=moe.gif]

I had this pegged as the worst stretch of the season. In the long run I think the team will figure things out and get back on track but this is going to be a taxing week.

Dev making her return is helpful and bigger help was the return of Monica on Sunday. Likely her PT may be limited to some degree but she was moving well and showed in her brief time on court that they were mising their best perimeter defender. Any mins she can give will be helpful.

Good news is, get thru this stretch and come July they'll play like 8 of 11 at home.



Minnyme -> RE: Minnesota Lynx (6/18/2014 12:08:20 AM)

Redemptions – Lynx destroy LA sharks 94-77 and it wasn’t even that close.

http://www.wnba.com/games/20140617/MINLAS/gameinfo.html

The defense was active early and it set the tone. Maya broke out with a very efficient performance of 31 pts on 12-16 from the field (3-6 3’s) 4 rbs, 4 asst & 4 stls. So all is right in the universe ….. for 1 night at least.



kgdabom -> RE: Minnesota Lynx (6/18/2014 1:26:24 AM)

Huge win for the Lynx. Unfortunately I was busy and missed it. Maya getting back on top.



SoMnFan -> RE: Minnesota Lynx (6/18/2014 9:41:19 AM)

Back on the horse.
Love big wins, good for the psyche.



TJSweens -> RE: Minnesota Lynx (6/18/2014 9:56:04 AM)

Good to see all of the starters play less than 30 minutes. This is going to be a grind and it is key that Peters and Wright are back to lighten the burden on the starting 5. It does look like Wright needs to knock a little rust off her game, but if she can at least come in and play some good defense and give the wings a breather in the short term it will be a big help.

It helps that the Sparks are an absolute mess and play the most disinterested brand of ball I've seen in a long time.

They look like a team that is trying to get their coach fired.



kgdabom -> RE: Minnesota Lynx (6/18/2014 7:38:35 PM)

Man do I want some revenge against the Mercury tonight. It is on the road and a back to back. It would be huge but a loss and the Mercury pass us in the West.
