Thanks for posting. Sims -- not unexpectedly -- leads the way, with nice support from Ms. Brown.

Jess Shepard sweeps up 6 boards and dishes out 3 assists in just 16 minutes. And hits a 3! Think we'll start seeing more of that as time goes on.

Collier highlights from tonight’s game.

Alot of positive plays at the end when they needed them.

@Shades posted Pheesa's interview about that play but at the time I did not see the play which was being discussed.

I am very impressed with the thought process Pheesa had in explaining that
normally she would need to be wary of the shot fake but with time running out, she could be ,more aggressive.

Pheesa does so many things well that when the points don't fall, she is still out there at crunch time.

The Minnesota Lynx are 4-1 through the first five games of the season, tied with Connecticut for the top record in the WNBA. While the Lynx are getting off to a good start to open the season is nothing new, the lineup of players doing it is very much new, with Sylvia Fowles as the […]

Super write up. Very happy for one of ours going up and flying.

2 fouls in 2 min for Collier. Looks like she’ll be sitting a bunch.

bad Mojo changing her hairstyle with (mild) highlights and the pony tail. Maybe she thought she was on the La La Sparks

Edit. Spoke too soon.

Coach Reeves let Pheesa stay in the game with 2 fouls and in Q1, has had a positive impact on offense and especially defense.

Mabrey fouled Collier. This is looking like a college game.

Mabrey fouled Collier. This is looking like a college game.

And Collier intercepted a Mabrey pass and threw it to Sims for a fast break layup. Lynx have caught up at the end of Q1 after being way down. 17-17

Collier is very disruptive on the perimeter, her defense is tremendous.

Napheesa was very active in those last 2 minutes

 

[DaddyChoc]

Fisher wasn’t a fun interviewee lol

 

[DaddyChoc]

Sims is screwing things up

 

[Reypl21]

Mabrey has gotten a few steals, an assist, and a 3. Nice first 3 minutes

Hate to admit it but she will be a good pro. She has the confidence and body language to succeed. Totally different from Wiese imho. Not sure how she started? I guess she had some decent games?

Totally different from Wiese imho

Rotting on the bench the previous 2 years probably didn't do much for her confidence.


LA has taken control in Q2. Big spark from Riquna Williams off the bench. O sisters finally getting going after a quiet start.

So...is there a game happening? The broadcast has been filled with interviews w/ players/coaches/ex-players. Not much game commentary going on.

The one thing Wiese has going for her over Mabrey is experience. Wiese may have been riding the bench for LA, but she has been a pro for a few years. Whenever LA has to decide between the two, I believe Mabrey will be the one they keep. Her last two years at ND made her a more complete player.

Amin and Lobo? Haven't missed listening to them.

Shepard at the high post passing to a cutting Collier, twice. That is going to be a connection in Minnesota for a long time
