Bravo! Take a bow. You pulled it out for them.


You're delusional. Mercury got away with just as much if not MORE elbowing, pushing, illegal screens. Your team isn't that innocent.

Haha please.


I have to say that the refs did their jobs. They did call some bad stuff but that's gonna happen. It wasn't that bad.

The refs had nothing to do with this game. We fouled the jump shooter. Twice. Down the stretch of the game. Our spacing wasn't great and certain players took ill-advised shots.

For how atrocious McCarville looked, she ended up with a +16? Shocked

Would be nice to get some bench production for Game 3. If Tan makes a shot I say keep her in because she can get hot, but yank her as soon as she starts missing. Wright hasn't provided much.

Was really disappointed in three things:

1: Bonner's foul Crying or Very sad
2: Dupree taking that last shot instead of attacking. If she had spun the other way around, that's a layup.
3: Lack of Griner's presence

Was a very close game. We got outplayed in the fourth and that was it.

Back at home. This game will be intense.

X factor was in the house here in Minny but alas no win. They played not to lose and that led to Maya's threes. Oh well. See y'all in phoenix bitches. Btw. I sat next to some bitches who hate Taurasi. What a surprise. At least I held my toungue and was not arrested for asault. Good job for me.

Much better, Lynx. Now ride that wave to Phoenix and finish them off. (But if you want to leave Tan in Minneapolis, I am perfectly okay with that plan.)

Also 6'8" center Brittney Griner with 3 rebounds in 36 minutes. Clearly the refs' fault.

Opposite of defeat is victory. Opposite of 32 is 23. Keep going, @mooremaya. #TakeFlight

While Maya was instrumental in this win, my MVP of this game was Whalen. She grabbed the team by it's ears and willed them back in. It was that energy that she brought to the team and crowd that righted the ship.


Whalen kept this team in it throughout the first three quarters and Maya won it for them in the end.

At the end of the day, this series should go to three games. I think Phoenix will win. I hope Phoenix will win. But either team is deserving.

BTW: A lot has been talked about with the officials, and although some really really stupid calls happened (both ways) I didn't have a problem with the game overall. No team was absolutely handicapped from winning, there was an attempt to stop the extreme physical play (best the refs could do) and shitty calls went both ways. Minny just came out and won it.


Truth .. great synopsis of the game!

BG has always been a terrible rebounder. And 3 is unacceptable. She had 10 the last game

Kinda hard to rebound when you're out near the three point line trying to stop Maya.

Don't give her no excuse. She was not doing her job. And how she switched onto her I don't know.

Of course "her job" is as a shot blocker. When you go for blocks it takes you out of ideal rebounding position. She should get more than 3, but "rebounding" isn't her primary job.
