Five teams screwed themselves by passing on Colier. I'm happy the Lynx got her though. I like coach Reeves and the Lynx. Hopefully Maya returns to them next year in high spirits.
Hopefully, Maya will find her life's work and calling.

i noticed every time a shot goes up (aside from her own shots) she immediately runs back on defense, no offensive rebounding for her i guess. maybe it'll be game by game...
I think it's just that she's playing wing now with true centers on the team, so it's someone else's job. Lynx grabbed 17 o-boards in the game (vs 6 for the Sky), with 5 each for Fowles and Sheppard, and 3 for Coates.

I think Collier can potentially have another big game against the Storm. She will be matched up against Clark and Langhorne a lot of the game. Shepard could have another big rebounding game too.

On a different tone, I do not think some of out youngin's came off their good games and practiced that well. And unlike other places, Cheryl and Sylvia will say it in public.

P.S. Does Cheryl make Geno look like a pussycat?

Well, here is Sylvia helping with the tough love messages.

Hopefully, basketball remains at least a hobby.
I remain cautiously optimistic that Maya will be back on the court next summer, if only so that she can play in the 2020 Olympics.

Not a bad way to bring her her divinity to a world stage. ;)

Readers of this thread should be aware that the Storm v. Lynx game tonight (5/29) is on CBSSN at 8 PM Eastern time. Another chance to see how good Napheesa can be in the WNBA. She may be guarding KML. KML may be assigned to guard her -- good luck with that!

Pheesa continuing where she left off. 9 pts in Q1 3-4 shooting 1-1 from 3. 2-2 from FT line.

Lynx up 39-24 at half

Pheesa's 2Q no points but ramped up the defense and assists 3 Assists, 0 TO and a monster block on KML who is having a pretty bad game. 2TO off careless dribbling and no shots made. I hate to say it but Whitcomb should start over KML. :oops:

More under control, as good a shooter and better defense. Curious to see if she starts 2nd half.

Wouldn't make any difference, this is a bad Seattle team. This team has no point guard without Sue, it's too bad they didn't trade for Mo.

Very surprised by the terrible play of Seattle in general. Canada does not look anything like her opener. Lloyd doing next to nothing. Even Howard with a subpar game so far

On the annoying note, Collier picks up her 4th foul in this whistle happy game with 7+ minutes in Q3 and could nor score on a leak out layup although it was heavily challenged.

Well Mo isn't playing basketball now either, so I don't think that would have done much.

Seattle was good enough to beat Phoenix and Canada looked fine at point then. I think Minnesota is just good.

I think getting Alysha Clark back on the court will make a substantial difference. Smart, tough, good defender and shooter. They will make the playoff's, especially if Sue gets back.

Seattle just looks a little lost and disjointed, understandably so. No Stewie. No Sue. No Dan Hughes. Everyone on the roster is being asked to do a lot more. It'll take some bumps.
