If you're referring to DT as the GOAT, a debatable label, about all she contributed might have been her 'will.' She shot 3 of 10 and fouled out with a few minutes to play. It seems rather it could have been 24 points by Griner, or 16 points and 10 assists by Cloud that kept the Mercury in the game 'til near the end.
CT is probably the worst matchup for the Lynx of the three teams remaining because of their physicality. Doesn’t mean the Sun will win but it’s a tough match up for them.
I doubt Dunn retires based on the way she is talking. She has been talking a big game about a "four year plan" to being championship contenders (this was year 2) and she was also recently interviewed about what she'll do in the off-season and she made a comment about recruiting players with playoff experience to join the Fever next season.
Do you ever get tired of
DT is the GOAT...... Absolutely no doubt, no debate. As I indicate below the real debate would be who's the distance second all time. Beyond the statistics over her career only player with 10,000 points etc is the impact she's had on the game. It's unfortunate she decided to come back and play this year, most of the moments reminded me so much of Willie Mays at the end with the Mets.

Me too! I think a lot depends on whether Harris is able to play

Notwithstanding this last year and playing beyond her time there's absolutely no doubt in the minds of anyone that she's currently the greatest of all time.
Those who played against her in the past and present know this. There have been amazing incredible careers in women's basketball hers is several standard deviations above the average "great" player.
A more relevant question might be who is second. Much like the LeBron versus MJ debate I'm wondering who chased or is chasing the GOAT.
Players hail 'one of the GOATs' as Taurasi walks off
Diana Taurasi did not make any official declarations about her future after the Mercury were ousted from the playoffs Wednesday, but the postgame mood seemed to signal a finality to her 20-year run.
In a tenuous tie to the title of this thread it's really appropriate that in hopefully her last game she fouled out.
Interesting you happened to link to a story about DT as 'one of the GOATS.'
I have heard all of these players speak out against the Indiana fans. And that makes me wonder if Indiana will struggle to attract free agents. That’s one of the reasons I think they should offer Mitchell the max. Smith should be traded. And they should make Katie Lou available in the expansion draft.
I mean when multiple players from multiple franchises are complaining about the racism they experienced from one fanbase directly, I have a hard time believing it will be a top free agency destination until thats taken care of. Certainly i cannot imagine any of the CT sun free agents going there now.
Someone needs to find that power of attorney form
I've dug into guaranteed and expiring contracts at times during this season, but I'm certain Richard Cohen of Her Hoops Stats -- who has done a post-season analysis of where each eliminated team stands -- will have a much more thorough piece on the Fever shortly.
Nah. As a Lynx fan, we want this match up. I use to worry about teams being physical with Minnesota but since we got Myisha Hines-Allen, I am not worried anymore. She brings that toughness that we lacked and if you haven't noticed, Alanna Smith, Napheesa, and Bridget Carleton all have been a little more assertive since Hines-Allen has been added to the roster. It will be a tough series, but I like the Lynx's chances.
The Lynx performed better this season against the Aces and the Liberty though. I think of the three teams remaining the Sun and their defense are the worst match up left for them.
I disagree but we shall see. I think we can handle Connecticut. I believe at one point in the season, Minny and Connecticut were 1 and 2 in defense, or some variation. I just know that they were right on each other's heels. The key down the stretch will be how well each team executes and handles the big moment.
Tired of articles like this pretending WNBA players are poking clark in the eye intentionally because they are jealous or that their resentment stems from Clark's attention and not the terrible abuse they are now taking because of the fans she brought in.
This sentiment continues to fall on deaf ears unfortunately. These types of articles and talking points won't go away because the narrative has taken a strong hold and has a life of its own.
I wasn't surprised by the Mercury considering the personnel. The question was whether their talent could come together to steal a game and make it interesting. They almost achieved that in Game 1 after being down 23 points.

To clarify, GirlBoo1020, Clark didn't bring them in... they trailed her in the door via social media. Not her doing.
