Taurasi reminded me so much of Kobe last night. Not only as the leader of the team, but also the facial expressions after she thought she was fouled and didn't get the call

Poetic Justice to see the Lynx in a televised game exact some serious revenge on Taurasi and the Mercury. The Lynx won by about 60 While holding Taurasi under 10 points. Maybe we are not dead yet.

I think we are seeing the difference in being deep and talented. Wiggins was a marquis player out of college in her own right. Anosike and Houston are emerging players. Kelly Miller is a hard nosed vet and leader who still has a lot of game.

BTW watching Taurasi, while someone else was shooting a FT they showed her and I could read her li[ps saying "F***king *itch"

Not bad for a team missing their best player.

Hard to win when being out rebounded like they were especially on the offensive end. The Lynx had 7 to their 15. Second chance shots add up

Notably absent from the All Star game is Candice Wiggins. Not that she deserved to be there but she was the best of the three last year and since Augustus went down Wiggins has fallen apart. This is very troubling. Houston had one of the best stat lines of all the players in the all star game and looked very comfortable playing with the best in the world.

Status: offline 		Last time I checked the Lynx had fallen to 10-10. They still have a chance at making the playoffs but for all realistic intents and purposes this season is over. We hung tough for a couple games after Augustus went down but could not sustain. The thing that is most disturbing to me is how badly Wiggins has played. I thought she was a star but without Augustus she has been terrible. One piece of good news is that it looks more and more like Quanitra who raised a lot of eyebrows when we picked her is looking like a player. Get Augustus back healthy next year and maybe we can do something then.
