2024 WNBA PLAYOFFS Discussion Thread (WNBA Finals: New York Liberty vs Minnesota Lynx; NYL WIN 3-2)

[The Corey's]

The Lynx won game 1.

What's happening here is you trying to make a conspiracy out of this while ignoring everything else.

We can sit and dissect every game and you'll find bad calls going both ways. To try to act like the refs handed the Liberty everything in a 5 game series that had every game come down to the wire is laughable.

Meanwhile, across 4 replies you haven't made one attempt to explain why the coach of the Liberty was telling her players to take the contact on any possession in which they are touched.

Because it's a smart f*cking strategy based on how bad and dumb the officials are.

You can keep crying though. Nothing will change. The Liberty are the champions of the world.

I feel like you're only posting about this because it's a hot topic and you probably didn't watch any of the other games in the series. The W seems to attract people with agendas that reek of negativity nowadays

So you acknowledge the cheatijg but think it's smart strategy.

Didn't work so well for your Knicks tho did it lol.

Ease up on the trolling and baiting routine.

As a Lynx fan I honestly want this conversation to stop. Do the refs need to be better, yes. But it's over. The liberty won, they are the champions. This is getting picked up by the same fake CC fanboy group who really just want to get rid of women's basketball for whatever reason.

For those Lynx fans who thought it shenanigans Coach Reeve stood up and openly called bulls**t. You have been heard and that's all you can hope for. My guess is this will lead to changes in how games are reffereed which is again, all you can hope for.

But IT IS over.

The Liberty are the 2024WNBA champions and it's not like they're a bad team. They were easily the best team with the most talent all year long and they should be celebrated as such.

Up here in Minnesota we will force you to beat us all the way into the ground if you wanna claim a victory, but once you do we stand up like civilized, honorable competitors and tip our cap to the victor in the spirit of good competition.

So again; congratulations to the NY Liberty. You earned those rings and deserve them more than anyone else.

It was a great series and I have nothing but respect for the Lynx. Phee will not be stopped next year, I can assure you.

That doesn't sound like the United States to me.

An old acquaintance of mine always raved about life in Minnesota, it's one of the states I want to visit when I have time.

Skip the Winter unless you wanna go Ice fishing. It's been really an odd month between me and New York. I've always been a West Coast vacation/escape guy, and I've visited Texas and New Orleans but I never really had any desire to go to the east coast. Too populace, too busy and too touristy for my tastes at large.

But in the last month I've had like 3 people just assume I'm from New York out of nowhere which is oddly specific. Not easy coast in general... Just New York. Yesterday I was in the elevator with an acquaintance Ive know for 5 years we were talking, he was complaining about traffic and said "You're from New York, I'm sure you're used to way worse" and I'm just like .. no! I'm from South Minneapolis where my family goes back to the 1800's. He was shocked. "You just seem like you're from New York"... I don't even know what that means.

Mind you this has never happened before the last month and when you add in the KAT for Randle DDV trade and the WNBA finals I've suddenly had a ton of new York in my life. I'm assuming this all means I should start looking at an NY vacation.

All of this discussion about Minnesota tickles me because that's where my mom is from (my dad's originally from Wisconsin). My mom, incidentally, loves to go back to see family...but not in the winter.

While I'm born and raised in SoCal, I'm rather notorious for not presenting as clearly from any one particular place. Part of the reason for that is that I spent a lot of summers in Minnesota (with jaunts east to Wisconsin and west as far as Nebraska), and so there's definitely a "folksy-ness" to how I talk, as well as some "Minnesota nice".

My mom's family has been based in the East St. Paul area for a century or so, though it's not that tightly clustered obviously given the ranging to other states. I definitely have family from both parents in Minneapolis, and have spent a lot of time further north at cabins on obscure lakes.

In general I'm not big Minnesota-sports homer, and but there's always a part of me that's happy when places where I have relatives win. In 2021 when Milwaukee played Phoenix in the NBA finals, I had family in both cities, so was always going to be happy for the winners and sad for the losers.

The exchange rate from Cali to Minny is tremendous. We sit here in January and all we can think is "California here I come". Cali folks sit there in July (outside the coastal moderation) and think "Minnesota here I come".

Eh well, I love going to spend time with my family in Minnesota, and especially being out on a deck by a lake...but there's really a never a time in Cali where I think, "Hmm, I wish we had humidity like Minny!".

I honestly can't tell you what a wimp I am with humidity. Places like Florida & Hawaii (even more humid than Minny) just knock me on my a**, and I get the impression I just wouldn't be able to handle places like Southeast Asia at all.

So yeah, there are times I wish it were cooler in Cali, but I'm afraid I'm quite attached to the drier air.
