Lynx hold their first scrimmage of training camp

Coach Cheryl Reeve wants more from her offense and knows that her rookies have a lot of work to do after seeing the Lynx scrimmage with the Las Vegas Aces in the WNBA bubble..

--Not surprisingly, rookies Mikiah Herbert Harrigan and Crystal Dangerfield have, as Reeve said, a ways to go. “We knew it [would be the case},’’ Reeve said. “It’s a process for Kiki and for Crystal.’’

Lynx scrimmaging against the lowly Mystics today.

Lowly maybe but Thibault and Meesseman may just be enough to drag them into the playoffs.

Lowly maybe but Thibault and Meesseman may just be enough to drag them into the playoffs.

Just trash-talking the reigning champions who are having nothing going right for them.

I like Thibault, but based on number of championships in 20-some years, he’s overrated. I do think he’s a good player developer for the most part.

I think Meesseman is better when she doesn’t have to carry the load, otherwise Belgium would be a force in international basketball.

Even the Lynx’s 12th man is torching KLS.

Well, Belgium may not yet be a force in women's international basketball, but the team made tremendous strides 2 years ago at the World Cup and that was largely because of Emma Meeseeman. After not qualifying for the 2014 World Cup or the 2016 Olympics, Belgium not only qualified for the 2018 World Cup but also finished 4th (after the US, Australia and Spain). Belgium crushed France in the quarterfinals by 21 points but lost to Team USA in the semis and the host team Spain in the 3rd place game. Belgium actually beat Spain in Group play.

Emma was the 2nd leading scorer in the tournament and made the all-tournament team. I attended the World Cup and Emma was fantastic and Belgium was the most exciting team to watch in the entire tournament.

If Belgium can develop some young players to give Emma some help, Belgium can become a force. The strides the Belgian team made at the last World Cup was largely on the back of Emma Messeman.

Stewie made a beeline to Christmas right after the game. Words of encouragement from someone who knows.

Geez, I’m sorry to hear about Karima. She’s fun to watch and also a delightful person.

Lynx getting even stronger. Sims is back. Megan Huff is waived. Article does not say when she will play but I imagine it will take a few games to get into game shape. Crystal will ultimately come off the bench

All-Star guard Odyssey Sims added to Minnesota Lynx’s arsenal, Megan Huff waived

The Minnesota Lynx are looking good so far in 2020 with Sylvia Fowles and Napheesa Collier as their stars. Now, they have another: Odyssey Sims.

All-Star Guard Odyssey Sims Joined The Lynx In The WNBA’s Bubble

Sims will have to serve a two-game suspension upon clearing quarantine.

Kent Youngblood of the Star Tribune reports that Sims joined the Lynx in the bubble on Thursday and could be available to play in approximately a week. Sims will have to go follow the WNBA’s quarantine COVID-19 protocol before she’s allowed to see any action on the court. However, once that’s completed, the 5’8 guard will have to serve a two-game suspension without pay due to a drunken driving charge she received last summer.

Can’t wait to see odyssey play! The only lady bear who hasn’t played yet this season is kalani Brown! Hopefully kalani recovers soon from covid

I hope she’s in good enough shape and doesn’t disrupt the current seemingly good chemistry. Maybe a gradual assimilation?

Without Sylvia Fowles, time for Lynx’s Napheesa Collier to bust out of sophomore slump

It was like a flip switched Thursday night, Aug. 13. Sylvia Fowles went down with a calf injury, and Napheesa Collier took over.

“They’re taking away things that I like to do a lot more, so I have to work on expanding my game and being able to go away from things that are my No. 1 option on offense,” Collier said. “I need to shoot more on the perimeter. … I have to be able to knock down shots to get them to commit a little bit more, and then later in the game I’ll be able to get back to (driving).”



Collier acknowledges as much, but has yet to put it into practice. Even Thursday, eight of her 12 shot attempts — and seven of her eight makes — were from in close.

“In Phee’s case, she’s limiting in the way that she’s willing to try to score, which is only to go to the basket,” Reeve said. “Everybody knows her schtick at this point.”
