Mercury Rout Lynx, 110-92

about the Lynx being mad and wanting revenge after blowing that lead at home, etc. I think that’s 90% us and only about 10% players.

They really don’t care and that’s not unique to the Lynx. Players are just so accustomed to putting a game behind them – always looking forward and eternal optimists.

Merc trying to run….pretty predictable so far

Wash day, nothing clean, right?

when Dupree misses…incredible shooting % this season

good call…Merc at in one of those offensive rhythms. Just tearing through the Lynx defense

after they play her on w/ some Toni Braxton music

and it’s interesting that Gaines is playing Kara and Tangela together. It makes sense since Tang is a four anyway but I’m keeping my eye on how Dupree and Braxton share the paint

from KB45…

They certainly are going to her a lot in the post though. Teams will adjust and double down and Candice doesn’t spread the floor

obvious Shaq comparisons but they are obvious for a reason

skilled players like Charde and Penny…they make it look so easy.

that Diana girl is pretty good

in that qtr…that’s how you can shoot 75% and only lead by 6

totally gassed…can’t hardly breadth

are disappointed in Whalen…seems like she should be giving them more this season

that will be a nice goal for Merc tonight

is about to fall

just sick

let Temeka Johnson fly in and steal a rebound you have to question their heart

What’s going on tonight for the Lynx?

Merc have to keep up the pressure for at least another 5 or 7 minutes

Bonner with range = deadly

battling inside…

high/low….and Kara will learn you can’t throw the ball to Smith unless her hands are wide open. She’s not going to go get anything outside her immediate reach

totally obliterating Diana’s defender and then immediately cut to the basket for the offensive rebound…that’s nice

without the ball…a clinic

are attacking quickly and having much more success than trying to run half-court sets

coming in

how fast they’ve incorporated Kara in the offense…getting her the ball along the baseline time and again and then using her as a passer out of the low post

Without foul trouble – and without necessarily making a complaint about refs — this team can definitely beat Seattle in KeyArena. But I suspect Seattle will be a bit more prepared next time around…

I don’t think the Merc was trying to lose to the Storm. I think they may have had a 3rd quarter letdown, which has happened fairly often this year. Once Seattle started coming back, things just snowballed. The Merc probably threw up some ill-advised shots, since their tendency is to get shots off quickly, and that just made it worse.

There’s a saying that how you practice is how you play. If the Merc “practices” by losing to the Storm, they are not likely to be able to turn it around in the playoffs.
