Minnesota Lynx vs. Phoenix Mercury
Today, the Minnesota Vikings-Detroit Lions game is a warmup for Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals. The Lynx won Game 1 by 28 points (95-67) and were in control throughout. Minnesota had five players score in double figures, led by Seimone Augustus, who had 21.
The game is in Arizona at 4 P.M. CST and the Mercury must win to stay alive in the best-of-three series. It is being televised on ESPN2.
The Indiana Fever defeated the Atlanta Dream on Thursday with an 8-point win in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Game 2 of that series is today at 2 P.M. CST and is also on ESPN2.
And if you're still not convinced that these WNBAers have game, watch the New York Liberty's Cappie Pondexter go against NBA guard Sebastian Telfair:

17-6 run right now?
The Lynx have some great stuff going right now

When Taurasi is being aggressive it's frightening.
Taj and Whalen playing well, but the Lynx need more from Brunson, Moore and Augustus. They are going to have to make some defensive adjustments particularly with respect to Taurasi, but I don’t know what you can really do. She is the Jordan of the WNBA.
She can't do it all,
If we stick to the full team approach, and minimize their second chances, we got em
I don't know bro...
she doesn’t have to do it all. Phoenix is a very good team. With that said this is a great game. Women’s basketball has come a long way over the years.
a ton of their points have come off o boards tho
That is def something we can change ..
Not having looked at the box score to verify my claim
Our rebounding is terrible
Going to be our downfall.

part of it seems effort related..
aside from Taj, Whalen and Brunson (although uncontrolled) Minnesota is not matching Phoenix’s effort.
We've already established
that’s it’s going to come down to the big girls, and free throws.
Which, you’d already know if you were still hanging around here 12 to 18 hours a day, instead of doing God-knows-what-else. What else ARE you doing, anyway? Wait, I don’t think I even want to know (shudders, throws up in mouth).
I'm still waiting for an explanation of "the big picture."

Homework forced me to be at my computer
And when you’re doing homework, any distraction will do. Now I am graduated, employed, and homeworkless. The procrastination portion of my time pie chart has decreased drastically. Only to be replaced by another ation. And that’s not SB Nation.
Moral of the story: I didn’t get much homework done in college.

Well, it sure sucks that I have to go to the bar to watch,
As you might imagine, all the old men and meat heads have vetoed the game,
sorry to hear that..
I presume you don’t have espn2
what the hell??
why are people in a MN bar not watching the game. There is nothing else in MN to root for.
just ask the barkeep to set one TV up for you..
they will do it
Had one of two cable boxes ..got changed when I left the room..
Screw it, I’m going to put the lynx smack down on these fools! I hope..
Just wondering
where you were located. Because a friend was enthusiatically posting Lynx-related facebook status updated from Scoreboard in Mtka.
where is oceanary today?
I thought for sure he would be here.
A little harlem globetrotter
rim stick from phoenix..
That’s the best they can hope for at this point!
I am finding..
that I much prefer the announcing teams for the Women’s game than I do the Men’s game.
Wish I could hear them, instead of katy perry
Holy crap, was that jim peterson coaching the lynx?!? I vaguely remember hearing that he got the job
Dear wolves wings.
Notice how Maya moves without the ball. TAKE NOTE!!!

WTF was that call..
how did the Mercury get the ball on a double foul?
Taurasi is lucky this is the WNBA..
because she would have been ejected by now on technical fouls. She is always in the ears of the refs..
that is game baby..
congratulations to the Lynx.. they truly deserved this game and series.
What a change of pace ths is relative to watching the Wolves..
Thank you to the Lynx for putting an excellent product on the floor. It only took them nearly ten years, but I’ll take it.
Wow
It is raining threes in phoenix right now
When you're rich you don't write checks...Straight Cash Homey!
lynx are going to the finals!!!!
a bright spot for Sota!!!
Great game
Winning on the road — doesn’t get any better than that.
Basketball is basketball. – Oscar Robertson
Didn't catch the first and last quarters-
Blasted family obligations….
The Lynx really showed me something in the third quarter; very physical play under the basket and some sweet cuts in the lane from the guards to say nothing of shooting the trey at a high percentage. That was the best basketball I’ve watched in this state for quite some time!
Bring on the Finals!
