The Lynx have a two year window open to win championships now. Why tank when some of your major stars are over 30?

They will never tank period. They are competitors, not manipulators.

Rachel Jarry scored 8 pts in 2-4 shooting and 4-8 FT (getting to the line!).
They must have her playing PF. She got a team high 9 reb and also recorded
the only blk for the AUS.

Taylor has been a reliable scorer for the Opals but she won't be going overboard to take extra shots, instead looking to get other teammates involved.
Jarry, 22, is keen to benefit from that stance.
When Taylor missed the London Olympics, Jarry played extra minutes during the tournament and with several veterans now retired, she will try to use that experience in Turkey.
"I see myself fitting in and bringing my defence like always," Jarry said. "But with the mix of young and veteran players in the side, it's time for me to stand up and take some responsibility with some more scoring."
Jarry also questioned her chances of making it to Turkey when she was plagued by knee problems.
"Definitely there was times when I was like, 'Gosh this is going to be touch and go'. I'm still really young and I haven't had that much Opals experience so I didn't expect to be picked on my past," Jarry said.
"I knew I needed to prove myself to make the team so there [were] times I doubted I would make it but hopefully I'm peaking at the right time maybe I've timed it perfectly.
With the Opals' first match against an athletic and aggressive Cuba, both Taylor and Jarry face a physical and mental test.
Jarry believes her injury struggles have made her stronger.
"I'm such a competitive person and all I want to do is be out there playing and training so having those little setbacks along the way was tough but it has probably made me a better person," she said. |

Today, the KBA admitted that Amber Harris will not be able to join the national team in the Asian Games, citing the three year residential rule for naturalized citizens pointed out by the Olympic Council of Asia. Still, Harris will be naturalized for next year's FIBA Asia women's tournament for the chance to play in the Rio Olympics. |

Rebkell totally objective expert consensus, circa 2004:
"Taurasi is just another overhyped slow white girl from UCon. She'll be lucky to have as good a pro career as Nicole Powell."
I keep this level of sophisticated insight in mind.

According to this thread http://boards.rebkell.net/viewtopic.php?t=81663
the first Rebkell post was made on August 17, 2004. Those early posters saying she wouldn't do well in the WNBA must have high standards, particularly from rookies, as Taurasi was most of the way through a season where she averaged 17 points per game, by August 17th, 2014.

Its interesting that Liston got so many FT's. Maybe going to the basket, and that's why she didn't shoot that well from two.
