We get them on the various boards here every week or two. They usually drop 2 or 3 posts before a mod catches and deletes them.

You haven't likely seen others because they do a great job catching them quickly here.

Status: offline 		Not sure the traffic was too bad. Lynx got done about 9:00 Twins game wasn't done till almost 10pm. Seems lots of folks were still hanging around downtown anyway. Wasn't that big of a deal.

This was a fun & entertaining game. Was kind of neat that Kevin Garrnet was in the house w/Troy Hudson. A couple of the Vikings in the house (recognized Ray Edwards). Cool that those guys continue to catch WNBA game. Felt sorry of KG becasue this street person (Jessie Ventura) came over & sat next to him and talked thru the whole game. Doubt KG had planned on that But boy does Ventura look like a homeless bum off the street

Anyway some articles

From St Paul P-Press (looks like an AP article)

Sundays game is at 2pm ct but looks like local FSN will show the game tape delay (after the Twins ?) at 5:00pm
It will be an ATL broadcast but that's ok. Will be nice to be able to watch how they do on the road.

Edit:
I watched much of the game on tape delayed broadcast and I could see that the Dream were limited to very few easy baskets and the boards were dominated by several Lynx players. (Not just one)

The Lynx were especially good at the fast break. They were really fast going down the court.

This is the first game that I've seen of them this year and I was very much impressed.

There is no competition to be the top scorer every night, which has resulted in a balanced offense. Simone Augustus is quickly re-establishing her game, while Maya Moore is making her adjustments. Whalen is quietly second in the league in assists (6.5 per) and has an A/TO of 4.33 and gets to the line a lot.

I wasn't buying into the hype at first. Figured just typical Minnesota excitement about nothing. But looks like they might be for real!

How about having a .667 winning % and being 1 game off the best record in the league?

Which team has the best winning percentage, David?

Edit: I just checked. It looks like San Antonio and Indiana have better winning percentages and Connecticut has the same record as the Lynx. The Lynx have not played San Antonio yet, to my knowledge.

Totally agree here.
Not going to try and snow anyone that I know a thing about this Lynx team, other than it seems to be our best hope for a "winner" in this town of losers.
Then why do I have this dreadful feeling they'll disappoint? 
Prove me wrong, ladies.
SOMEONE Has to step up and start kicking ass again. If it takes the women to get loserville going, so be it.

For the Lynx, it can best be hoped that they save their best basketball for the playoffs. They certainly have the capability, imo. For now, I'm thinking that I need to temper my expectations down a level.
