Status: offline 		I watch. I cheer for the Lynx as they're a Minnesota winner. But man, is this WNBA a crummy product. Just weak fundamentals, frantic mistakes all over the place--particularly at crunch time. If these two teams are the BEST in the world, then we are years away from true basketball excellence on the distaff side.

If you watched the fourth quarter of the first game you would have seen much better play. The end of this game was about as sloppy as any game you will ever watch between these two.

At some point the Lynx have to figure out that these long stretches where 4 players stand around on offense while the point dribbles back and forth at the top, isn't an effective offense.

There is really no appreciable age difference between the Lynx and Sparks.

Whalen and Augustus showing their age.

I actually don't mind it. The best teams meet in the championship, regardless of conference, which seems to be for regional purposes, only.

LOL. She actually reminds me of Kobe.

She's also easy on the eyes.

Status: offline 		Lynx up 5 at end of the first quarter. Fell behind early then stormed back. But the way the first quarter ended left a very bad taste and momentum for the Sparks. Montgomery dribbles into a strip that ends up in a jump ball with 4 seconds to go. We give up a fast break off the tip and instead of shooting for a 9 point lead it's cut to five.

There was a time I found her easy on the eyes. Now she is the enemy and she does not look good to me any longer.

Feel like LA is a ticking time bomb, and the Lynx inability to put them away is going to come back to bite them.

Any contact and LA falls to the floor expecting a foul. Glad the refs aren't falling for it.

Ogwumike is a dirty player.

Status: offline 		I'm putting this one in the win bracket up 11 with 33 seconds remaining. Bring it on home. However, we were fortunate with how poorly the Sparks shot tonight. The key to the win was dominance on the boards with Fowles and Brunson.

This is clearly a protest of Trump. Nothing more than that. I have no problem with that.

So because Trump is President they have to disrespect the Flag and the National Anthem? That is so much BS. The National anthem should be a time for all American's to unite.
Kaepernik claims he was protesting disproportionate police actions towards people of color. Which I saw as no reason to disrespect the flag or the anthem either.
I only respond to this rhetoric. I don't initiate it.
