Must have learned it from ESPN...

Speaking of Phee and MVPs, when Seattle plays Minnesota, Phee takes the Stewie matchup personally. Most people regard Stewie as the top player in the world, but Phee doesn't take a back seat to anyone. I expect her to be in the top-5 in MVP voting this season. I also expect to see her on the Olympic team.

Speaking of rings, did she ever get married? I know she got engaged.

Anyone here surprised Pheesa is finding success overseas, I’m not. ? That’s who she is. That’s what she does.

ESPN has her as the fifth best player in the WNBA, after Stewie, Wilson, Della Donne and Parker.

Who is she playing for?

BASKET LATTES MONTPELLIER

I'd take Phee over Parker and Wilson. Just my bias.

Me Too!

For me, the bias is against guards. Somebody has to get the ball to those bigs.

Pheesa back in states but will miss at least 2 games as she goes through extensive COVID Protocols


Following Thursday's game, the Lynx don't play again until May 28 at Seattle. That means assuming Collier tests negative for six days, she would have plenty of time to practice with the team before her season debut against the Storm.

The Lynx can't get Napheesa back soon enough! Blew a double-digit lead in the fourth, losing by double digits.

Two things I don't understand: Why KMac was able to play a couple of hours of getting off the plane, but Napheesa has to wait for six consecutive days of negative tests. And why Dangerfield isn't starting. I'd think they'd want a true point guard on the court at the beginning. Neither Powers nor KMac fits the bill IMO.

Dangerfield started the first game but not the third because she did not score in the second game. At least, that was what the announcers indicated.

She didn't start the second game either. She certainly made up for that game; she and Syl pretty much carried them last game. They don't play again for quite awhile, hope Collier is available by then.

Thank you. I did not know she did not start the second game. Based on what I've seen, they need Collier in a bad way. The other players don't look very good at this point, even Dantas (sp).

The Lynx (i.e. Cheryl) are very happy Pheesa has been cleared and is practicing.


Could Collier be the missing link to Lynx success? - StarTribune.com


The Lynx now have a week to integrate Collier into a lineup that includes newcomers Kayla McBride and Aerial Powers. And it's a process, she said, that won't take long. "Like, no time,'' she said. "The game is so simple for Phee. And she's going to make those guys look good.''

Reeve said Collier's impact goes beyond her basketball skills. Her nonstop effort will push the team.

"I know Phee will take it upon herself to be a leader, in terms of the effort areas, the things it takes to win possessions and win games. I think we've missed that at times. We talk about multiple efforts, sometimes it's sprinting back and breaking up a transition play. Phee has that will and that play is contagious.''

One of the league's best two-way players, Collier was ranked by ESPN as a top-five player in its WNBA season preview. But again, Reeve said, Collier's impact will go beyond her three-point shot, her movement without the ball, her defensive prowess.

"Phee never stops moving,'' Reeve said. "You talk about effort, that's what the great ones do. There is a fine line between winning and losing, between good teams vs. great teams. What do they have? Players willing to give maximum effort at all times. And they accept nothing less than that.''

I'm still baffled that someone can be a top-five player in the league after two years, but wasn't even top-five in her class in the draft. I'm not complaining, I think Reeve and Minnesota are the right coach/team for her.

Apparently McBride was cleared by a separate set of rules because she was determined to have gotten and recovered from COVID. I did not hear about any other players that were covered by that as there were quite a few outbreaks on overseas teams. Her opponents in the Turkish finals reportedly had 17 cases in the same outbreak out of a group of about 30 team personnel.

Napheesa did have an interesting situation as she and Myisha Hines-Allen both flew back to the United States between the regular season and playoffs to receive their first doses of the vaccine and had to sit out the first game in the quarterfinals to quarantine.

I wasn’t sure how well Collier’s game would translate to the W and I don’t know that I can recall a time where I’ve missed the mark by so much. She’s legitimately a first-team player in a league that includes Wilson, Stewart, EDD, Griner, etc.

You are not alone. Especially on defense. But Cheryl knew she was special and Pheesa is very lucky she landed in a spot with a coach so similar to Geno. Cheryl would be the ultimate replacement for Geno (Just dreaming)

Thanks for that info.
