Las Lynx are streaking? and the Ladies of LaLa are slumping? Obviously, a drastic reversal of fortune is in order here. A butt kicking is required now, and I trust the Ladies in Purple & Gold remember it is so much more blessed to give than to receive. Very Happy

Lynx will win this game if N. O. and Beard are still out of commission.

They've been practicing with the team so hopefully they're both ready to go. Nneka will be back though: https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/wnba/2018/08/01/nneka-ogwumike-back-with-sparks-after-mystery-illness/37254335/

Nneka is listed as questionable according to a tweet I saw last night...it said Beard will be active....it remains to be seen if they both start or come off the bench if they get PT in this game......the sparks are in a must win because a loss and a Wings win puts the Sparks in the eighth seed I believe....the Lynx with a win can possibly tie for the 2 seed and with a loss they go to the 4 seed I think

Minnesota getting a top 4 seed as opposed to being the 5th seed or lower would really change my outlook on the playoffs...getting Whalen,Augustus,and Brunson quality rest will be very crucial to Minny's postseason success.


Other key factors in the playoffs:

1.Injuries.
2.Matchups.
3.Momentum.
4.Bench production.
5.Coaching.

I guess Nneka’s doctors couldn’t find anything specific, so they think she was suffering from fatigue that messed with her immune system. Now watch her kick ass tonight.

yeah that concerns me as well. Lynx as a 4 seed could be very dangerous with a little rest under them. Then again every team is .

Series is 2-1 Sparks. Sparks get the tie breaker with the Lynx with a win

Lynx take second with a win. They've split two games with Atlanta and both teams would be 10-7 against .500 or better opponents. Lynx have the better differential in head-to-head against the Dream 159-150.

Tonight may tell a lot - whether the Lynx are still the Lynx for example.

Why is every game so important when these two meet. I feel like the league sways one way depending on who wins these tilts between the lynx and sparks.

They did play in Finals the last couple of years. But in reality, beating LA is barely more important than beating the Fever, Wings, Storm, Dream or anyone else.

Lynx might save their energy to send the Storm a message tomorrow and not show up tonight.

Not a sound strategy unless the Lynx are down by like 25 pts after the third, and Reeve feels nothing is working or will work. Every game at this point counts. This a great time for a back-to-back coming off a big break. They shouldn’t need to save their energy.

They could save their energy for tomorrow night and still lose the game. Then they’d be in the deep stew.

Lynx vs. Sparks games usually depend on whether or not the Lynx turn into 2-year old kids who are afraid of monsters and don't know how to play basketball. Smile

And they won't even put it on league pass. No telling how long this football game will be on and then there will probably be talk after.

Neither one of those Parker baskets were a 3pt basket, her foot was on the line each time but I guess since they are playing in LA they get the calls.

I don’t like the breast cancer unis? Why did NIKE choose grey as the primary color??
