I don’t care what happens as long as Skylar and the Saniya-Chong-cutters lose.

How’s Leticia Romero working out? Skylar is averaging 35 minutes a game, leading the league by a significant margin. Romero has played in maybe 4-5 games, but not last game, which was close. Skylar played 40 in that game. Even in crunch time last season and early this season, Saniya was playing five minutes in the first half of just about every game. There’s no question she could still be doing that now.

Early on when the Lynx were struggling, I wondered if they were mostly just too old at this point - they start 4 Olympians and were the preseason favorites. But it seems they have righted the ship. However, I do think this is the last year for them - Whalen's almost out to pasture and I'm not sure how much Augustus has left in the tank. She's getting long in the tooth...

Maya and Fowles are the main cogs. Everybody else can be replaced.

Congratulations Minnesota Lynx!! Looking at the scores, Maya had a good game. @Bigboote, every since I found out Dallas let Saniya go, and Romero was her replacement, I make it a point to check to see if she played, and how much did she score.

Lynx win 5th consecutive game. Maya led the way with 26 and playing her way in to the MVP conversation.

I think it was the 7th consecutive game. They were 3-6 and are now 10-6. Maya has averaged over 24 ppg in that span and is now 3rd in the league in scoring.

Thanks. My brain knew it was the 7th straight win but my fingers didn't get the message.

The Fever are next for the Lynx so 8 straight seems likely. Then the Sparks come to town for a big one on Thursday night.
