Lynx in the Finals

Post by Monster »

I'm planning to watch the game today and it will be the first one I have watched all year. It's a rematch will anyone else be watching?

Well that was a whacky game. It was a pretty incredible comeback against a very good team to have a chance to win it late. I have no idea how they started out so poorly especially defensively but I would guess they will be more on their game early on in the next one.

Monster, it's been proven time and time again that the Lynx just aren't as good as the Sparks. Every time we have a chance to take control of a game or series, the Sparks simply make the winning plays. We might push the series to 4 or 5 games but I can't see the Lynx winning.

I disagree Cool. I watch a lot of Lynx ball and both teams are damn good. Last year lost by 1 in game 5 and got screwed by the officials by not going to the monitor on a shot clock violation and giving a foul to the wrong player what would have fouled out last year's MVP in ogumikay (spelling is way off)

The Lynx are getting old with Whalen and Augustus getting up there but they still have 2 MVP in their prime in fowels and moore.

There is a huge gap in the WNBA, it is the Sparks and Lynx and then everybody else. It should be a great series and could go either way. Lynx don't have a good answer for gray though, nice big body pg who bullies her way to her spot.

But now it's been two straight years we've given up home court advantage in the opening game of the series. We also had a chance to bury them at home in the regular season and couldn't get the job done. Nothing against the Lynx, but I just think the Sparks are better.

Well soon enough we will have an answer. My guess is Cool would be happy to be wrong.

I thought it was interesting that yesterday one of the media members said Bazz is a WNBA fan and after the Wolves practice told him the score at the time which at the time was completely lopsided and he was pretty shocked.

It's an odd year. The WNBA CBA ratified in 2011 states we must win the title this year.

Yeah Monster, I follow the Lynx pretty closely and would love to see them win it. I'm just speaking with my head and not my heart

If you had to pick a player you could see stepping up and maybe putting the Lynx over the top who would it be?

I saw part of Reeve's media availability yesterday. Man she was understandably pissed. It should be interesting to see how they come out tonight. I probably won't watch the game till tomorrow morning.

I think it has to be Moore. The one player I wouldn't expect to step up would be Augustus, and she had a decent game 1.
