Yes. You download the app for your iPhone/iPad/Android and you can access WNBA Live Access on it. Live Access was free last year, this year it only costs 5 bucks to subscribe to the whole season and you can stream every game on your computer or mobile device. I watched yesterday's game on my laptop and the quality was outstanding.

Yep.
They have that old "know what it takes to win" down the stretch.
Carry themselves that way.
Catch-22
Can't win without it.
Can't get it until you win consistently.

And they're legitimately fun to watch - they play a great brand of basketball.

They share the ball - and have a bunch of great passers.
They can all score - and have an alpha scorer in Seimone.
They all really get after it on defense - and they all rebound.

And I love the dynamic they are experiencing now ... every sport is the same ... once you win, once you get a rep ... you get everyone's best effort. Every night.
And you have to be up for it. Or you will get embarassed.

I don't think you can sign up through the app, but you can do it through your iPad. Go to this site and it will redirect you to the register/pay page.

I think the biggest reason the Lynx can be better is obvious: Maya Moore is not a rookie.

She was so good that people kinda forget that she was just a rookie.


Yes indeed, but I still believe that even this year she likely is only the fourth best player on the team, which is a large part of why they are so successful. Again, I believe it is beautiful to see such a team with such outstanding players who play together as a team and for the team.

Well the most obvious reason to me the team can be better is not Maya being a year older (it is a plus though) but the rest of the youth movement, the reserves Wiggins, Wright, Adair & Harris being a year older, wiser & more comfortable in their roles. Not to mention Thorn & Peters while bringing something different to the table then Hornbuckle & Houston are upgrades. As the season goes along, our reserves hopefully will become more consistent in being able to keep pressure on other teams while giving our starters some rest.

I too think the true beauty of this team is the teamwork. They really complement each other so well. This team has probably the most solid foundation in the league with the 2 franchise players Augustus & Whalen along with Brunson & McWiliams-Franklin. They may have off nights here or there but they're consistent. When/as the other 7 players improve their consistency, hopefully in September & through the playoffs, that's when this team could truly be impossible to stop.

Sunday’s game vs. Seattle is a local FSN broadcast @ 6:00pm

Not sure who did this little video but its a fun watch : http://youtu.be/kjeeWulb_vA

The score was only as "close" as it was because Seattle put their starters back in against our bench to end the game on a little run.

20 point lead.

Lynx shoot 66%, Mystics at 40%.

Not at all a good win, and a horrific 2nd half.

But we're 5-0.
