Great photo splash on the Lynx website !!

Game 1: Thursday 9:00 p.m. Eastern on ESPN2

Be there or be square.

Much cooler than the 90s-style graphic the Merc have up on their site........ [LINK]

I understand a ref looked at that picture and called a technical on Taurasi.

Should be some matchup. I hope those two go head-to-head.

Does DT have to sit a game if she picks up anotherT? If so, she cannot afford to do that. She is just too valuable.

Are they friends? Just wondering....not on the court, I know, but in life?

I'm sure they are friends off the court. They were on the national team together, as well as the Olympic team. And lets not forget that Diana and Sue were seen driving Maya around during a campus visit, according to unnamed sources in the SEC...

Lynx up early , 16-10. Whalen in particular showing why she is 1st team WNBA. Just a great, great PG.

Minnie looks took good for Phx tonight. But I never count out any team that has DT. Whalen ten in first quarter and Moore at least six. ESPN2 for those that want to watch.

 

[easttexastrash]

What was Pennel thinking with that lineup to start the 3rd quarter??? What a poor decision that resulted in 6 quick point, letting the lead to balloon to 14.

BG needs to abandon the hook and just turn and shoot her jumper.

 

[VAMike23]

Maya being Maya (points aplenty) and Augustus just driving to the rim with a little floater right past BG!!

 

[easttexastrash]

Embarrassing for Phx. They look completely unprepared.

 

[UConnCat]

Maya on Fiya.

 

[easttexastrash]

Phoenix 0-9 from three point range. Enough, enough, enough with the three point shooting. Bonner has already jacked up 5.

 

[easttexastrash]

DT does not pass well to BG. She has already looked her off twice in the 3rd quarter

 

[easttexastrash]

Phoenix has shot 16 three pointers. They will not beat Minny by shooting that many long range shots. Only ONE Phoenix starter shot 50% from the floor. The other four were a combined 8 of 35 (22.8%).

Phoenix needs a major shake-up in their roster. Please trade Bonner for a PG. Bonner can be good but can be just as bad, like she was tonight. Put her on the bench and play Houston instead.

 

[easttexastrash]

But Minnesota sure is good. That team could battle for an Olympic gold medal.

They're a good shooting team, but they just shot lights out tonight. And some of their assists were remarkable. Pretty much a perfect game from Minny right there. I'm sure the Merc will change things up in Game 2....

Quite an embarrassing move by Taurasi when the game was out of hand, first bumping Augustus, then planting a kiss on her cheek. If Taurasi can't be the center of attention with great play, she has to revert to something like that. It's a shame that one of the great players the game has seen should find a need to pull that crap . Seimone should have smacked her.

While it was an odd diversion, I thought the announcers explained it quite well, going back to the photo of DT and Augustus when they were 12? or so. Long time friends. Messing around and being spontaneous. And they "made up" immediately.

 

[easttexastrash]

Speaking of kisses...Phoenix can kiss their season goodbye on Saturday. There is no way they are going to beat Minny with the gameplan that they used. Phoenix is not a good enough shooter to be taking that many long range shots. If they don't expose Minny in the pain with Griner they will not have a chance of moving on to the finals.
