The Aces were talking a lot of trash after they won last year. Stewie was not amused.

I don't mind getting another game of this series. Love these teams.

Crazy to see the Sun kind of shred the Lynx defense like this tonight. They generated plenty of easy buckets.

I'm sorry guys. I love the Lynx as any decent human being would.

But it's just damn good basketball between teams that a lot of people dismissed at one point.

Both teams are so fun.

Yep. It's three level hoops. I don't think the beauty of the game solely lies in threes and dunks

I agree.

This is exactly how you respond to someone talking trash.

I hate that the Lynx lost, but I'll be loving it on Tuesday night when nothing else decent is on.
