| Hopefully the Mercury can help end the Lynx's losing streak like they did with the Sun's.

I think the chances are good. We generally seem to crap our pants when we play in MN.

| Sancho didn’t suffer a major knee injury, but her and DT are doubtful.

Sancho is not a quick healer

| Interesting that Reeve is only going 7 deep tonight(so far). Wonder if Augustus and/or Dantas will be back for their next game?

Yeah, the broadcaster is very good. The broadcast itself is very lacking. |
But I agree, the play-by-play has been solid. |

| The energy in this building is amazing! We are sitting in the middle of a bunch of Brazilian soccer player kids, (about 50, here for the Schwanns cup) and one of their coaches is extremely into the game and has gotten quite a few of the kids into it as well.

| Alanna Smith has been a disappointment. I didn't think she'd be a star, but 20% shooting isn't what anyone expected.

She is just a rookie. A lot of college players are not ready for the physical nature of the W. It takes them a season or more to make that adjustment.

She hasn’t really been thrown in the fire yet either. She has taken close to 30 shot attempts this whole season.
What I would like to see is more opportunities for rookies to contribute. The offense is extremely stagnant which is partly on the makeup of the roster. There is little to no flow and movement like we’ve seen before.
I get that Taurasi is out but what is the future beyond Diana? I hope to everything that the Mercury win the title this year because a reload with youth is becoming necessary. Wasting Griner’s talent with aging rosters doesn’t seem ideal but I get that it isn’t exactly easy to snag players.

| A reload with youth is what you got this year. You even got rid of Talbot (to the delight of Reeve) to make room for an extra rookie.
