If Lynx are going to get Home Court for the playoffs they may have to win every remaining game and that might not be good enough depending on how many times we play Phoenix the rest of the way.

They play Pho twice

Yeah the second time is the final game of the season. I really do think they need to win out if they are going to get home court. If not win out at least win both games against Phoenix and maybe lose only one other.

I think we can win in PHX in the playoffs.

Griner has killed us, but she won't be able to push around Brunson like she does Dantas.

I think catching Phx to highly unlikely. We are 3 games behind them in the loss column with only 2 head to head games. The Mercury also has a couple of games in hand on us and are on a 15 game winning streak. The Lynx need to focus at gaining continuity and rediscovering defense with the whole team back together. As David said, the return of Brunson changes the whole dynamic in defending Griner. Simone has actually done really well head to head with Taurasi in the playoffs. I agree with David. I think the Lynx can take a game in Phoenix during the playoffs.

Of course I'll be there

On defending Griner, I think people have forgotten it has not been Brunson alone who kept her in check. In fact Janel probably has blocked a few more Griner shots then Brunson and had often been the one not letting Griner get comfortable in the paint. It will again be a tag team effort with Brunson & JMac with some savvy vet stuff; pulling BGr away from or boxing her out to open up a path to the basket for driving guards.

Should be a good game as these are clearly the 2 best teams in the league. Win or lose this one, will be interested to see if our offense can get back to the team ball, ball movement, getting teammates easy shots mode that makes them harder to gurad. Lynx may not end up with home court for the conference finals but that's no matter to me. If you're the best team, you'll find a way to win on the road when you have to. Now that our Lynx have all the band back together they have 7 games to find that championship grove heading into the playoffs.

Unless it means that it will be blacked out on WNBA All Access. I think that happens when games are on ESPN 2.

Minnyme do you know what the ticket availability is for this game? I'm far away but I am doing my best to get people in the Mpls area and this board psyched for the game. If a person is at all a fan of the Lynx how could they not go to this game? I'm sure I am making a nuisance of myself.
