Anyone watch the game? Were they as dominating as it appears from the box score?

And any guesses as to how long until Montgomery replaces Miller in the starting line up?


And whoever handled the Lynx draft last year, I want them to have major input with the T-wolves draft.

I expect Miller will start at PG for the season. It's nice to have a solid vet PG run things for a very inexperienced team.

The only thing that stopped the Lynx from setting an all time FG% mark was putting in reserves that brought it down to 63% for the game. Still that is the second best shooting night in WNBA history.

Two reasons Chicago scored so many points. One was all the possessions like you said. The other is because they shot the lights out. I think it was more about them shooting well than any defensive deficiency by the Lynx. We still won by 17.

I don't see her looking that young. I think about 23-24

I posted a thread about this on the ESPN WNBA message board and got mostly agreement except for some saying that her tattoos made her look older to them. Here is a picture that I have confirmed was taken in 2008. Take a look and tell me if you think based on this picture that she looks over 20.

I'd say she looks like a college kid ~20.

I just graduated from college at age 50. I have to admit that my fellow classmates looked like Kids to me. 20 is a reasonable assessment. Still I think Seimone looks younger than about 90% of my recent classmates.

It seems very strange to call the Lynx who did not even make the playoffs last year one of the top two teams in the league but I can actually believe it.

That is correct sir. I had in my mind that they started 6-0 but I have been reading 5-0 elsewhere.

5-0, 6-1, then losing the next 5.

It is IMO obvious by watching them that this years team is better than last years.
