The data the league is seeing must be really good

what about the first round? still 3 games?


Yeah, but it's gonna be 1-1-1. Also 44 games next year.
From a fundamental standpoint it is better for a man to have nothing but be under the protection of Jesus Christ than for him to have everything he could ever want yet be completely without.

Not a great start for the Lynx. Second chance points are killing them. They aren't gonna out rebound the liberty but they need to keep it as close to even as possible.

I predict that if JJ keeps playing like prime Shaq the Lynx might be in trouble.

People forget that Jones has an MVP trophy on her resume.

Courtneys the only one that showed up and NY can't miss, except when they do and get their own rebound.

They need to stop these interviews when the players are out of breath.

shooting % is the same, the issue is rebounding, we're getting killed on the boards

forcing some turnovers would be helpful as well
