Another disappointing season, no matter how it may be justified.


We're 8 games into a 34 game season and 4.5 games out of first (and 2 losses behind the last 'playoff team').

I think its a bit early to call it a disappointing season - especially considering Wiggins has played in 2 games, Brunson in 4, and Augustus in 0.

I hope that you're right, David.

I guess Augustus delivered an ass chewing to her teammates after the game. On a positive note she is supposed to return to action this week.

That is good news. After all the deals with Conn, I would hate them end up with a better record since we have their #1 next year

Whalen still isn't shooting well, but I'll take 10 points, 6 rebounds, 12 assists and only 1 turnover out of my PG every night.

It's not really about the wins. It's that the best players are now getting most of the minutes. Heck, only 3 players got significant bench minutes: Houston (20), Maiga-Ba (14), and Wright (8).

Just when things looked to be turning around, the bad news is that w/ 8 sec left in the game Candice Wiggins kind of crumpled to the floor like she tripped but stayed down. Had to be carried off the floor. She'll have an MRI upon return to the Twin Cities.

There are reports she has ruptured her Achilles and will be lost for the season

The bench is really going to have to step it up if this is true. Especially the rookie Wright.

Nice to see the winning streak and the Lynx would be in the playoffs if the season ended today. Did they confirm that Wiggins is done?

IMO Wiggins didn't fall apart last yr as much as she was very inconsistant and playing with a bum knee.

This year, yes she was playing well. She wasn't 100% but was much more like the Wiggins of 2008. She is a HUGE loss. She's a very high IQ player and was very much a communicator. She was the high energy person for this team. The 1 player it seems the coach trusted who could give Whalen a break & keep things moving offensively. She was a 3pt threat shooting 45%. And as challenged as the team has been defensively, she was the best & most physical perimeter defender.

She really is 'all that'. (at least for me) This team is challenged when it comes to a player who could pump up the team & she was that on-court cheerleader. They are really going to miss that.

Yes. Season ticketholders got an e-mail :

Candice Wiggins Injury Update

Lynx guard Candice Wiggins will miss the remainder of the 2010 season after rupturing her Achilles tendon in her left leg in Tuesday night's contest vs. the New York Liberty. The injury occurred with 8.0 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. An MRI done yesterday confirmed the injury. Wiggins will have surgery tomorrow.


She had the surgery Friday and it appers it went well. No time table on her return yet. But for this injury if she stays on top of her rehab I'd think she'll be ready by the start of next season (basketball gods willing)

It was a fun game to watch. Some amazing shooting going on. Neither team could miss for a while. Of course poor defense might have contributed to that.
