Then they call a bogus traveling against the lynx when our player was pushed.

Vintage Whalen on a full court drive and the and one. Huge play to get us within three.

Side note: I really wish we had a local broadcast. I am not liking this LA crew.

That was rough.

I got a bit tired of them always qualifying us: "Minnesota is the best team in the league...on paper".

The score looks bad but it doesn't tell the true story of the game. The Lynx had it within three late, as they were down 73-70 with 4:39 left in the game. The Sparks proceeded to go on a 21-6 run to end it, as Minnesota went cold shooting the ball. LA only missed one shot during that final stretch and Candace Parker immediately tipped that one in.

It was a game of runs and the Sparks were the team getting them at the right time. They ended the first quarter on a 13-5 streak to take a three-point lead. They ended the second quarter on an 8-0 run to take a two-point lead. They finished the game scorching hot as I mentioned earlier.

Biggest problem yesterday was our inability to deal with the Sparks full-court press.

Whalen just can't break it anymore and Mongomery isn't ready. We're going to have to figure this issue out if we want to win the title.

Wow. After beating LA on their court we're on top of the world. Then, losing at home we're now in trouble. Hmm. I always say that it matters how you play down the stretch the most.

Bruce it's an overreaction to say we're in trouble. However, the Sparks have shown themselves to be every bit as good as us. Two team dogfight.

Getting blown out by Washington last night didn't help.

We're starting to see some cracks - now its time to see if we can adjust.

This seems to happen every year. Get off to a hot start, finally lose a game and follow it up by getting embarrassed by a weak team. They seem to go into a funk for a few games every year.

My wife pays very little attention to sports.
She is watching the Lynx ceremony with me and hearing the stats
She turns and says "why aren't the Lynx a bigger deal in this sorry-ass sports state"?
Couldn't tell ya, honey. Puzzled myself.

And the team signed honorary contracts with young boys and girls who are facing big challenges, but dream of playing basketball. For a day, those young people were Lynx teammates -- and that, as much as any trophy, is what makes these women champions."

Does Griner even make 100k per year? I guess so if she plays overseas. I thought about making more comments, but I changed my mind. You're welcome.

The WNBA maximum salary is just a hair over 100K. But Griner makes 600K/year playing in China, and (at least as of a couple years ago) has a 1M/year endorsement deal with Nike.

In other words she can easily afford this.

And 3 straight losses.

We blew a 15 point lead to a team that was without its best player...

The fourth quarter came and the offensive party was over for the Lynx. After 29 points in the third, the team scored 11 in the 4th. They led 81-66 with a little over six minutes left before New York proceeded to go on a 17-2 run to end regulation all tied up. The worst part of it all was that the Lynx had two chances to take the lead again after it was knotted up.

Janel McCarville missed badly on a long-two and when the team got a second opportunity, no one took the shot. 27.6 seconds were left on the game clock and Lindsay Whalen started the play with about 11 left on the shot clock. You have to give credit to New York for preventing a shot but it was as if the players had no awareness. They passed and passed until the buzzer sounded leaving the road team with 3.5 seconds to take a last shot of their own. They missed as well sending the game to overtime, but the momentum was still in their favor.

quote:

"Perimeter players on every team have their way with us. We can't get out there and guard the three," Reeve assessed after the game. The Mystics hit 11 threes against the Lynx last Sunday and Rodgers had seven of those alone last night. Teams are starting to exploit a defense that buckles down and refuses to let them score in the paint by creating ball movement outside that leads to open shots.

Its time to counter-punch because it looks like the rest of the league has got us a bit figured out.

Offensively we really struggle with pressure, defensively, we're giving up way too many open 3s.
