Because Ricky Rubio hasn't played a game yet :D

I think part of it is that the WNBA is a little more team-oriented than the NBA and part of it is that Lindsey Whalen is a better PG than Jonny Flynn.

So the Lynx get a number 1 pick and a championship faster than the Wolves will get either. I don't know about you, but that's pathetic.

The Wolves are pathetic, but not because they're less successful than their WNBA counterpart. There's only 12 teams in the WNBA.

Maybe in the KG era, around 03-04 we could have got a ring with 12 teams but every other season we would still get spanked. Lynx have barely been around for a decade and they surpass the wolves big time. All the other teams that came into the league around the time the wolves had have had far more success. Franchise is pathetic.

I would like to think if Rider and Marbury would have been sane, our team could have found more success. It's unfortunate how stuff like that turns out.

That was fun to watch! Mama Taj looked like she was enjoying herself too much to retire...
