My pick is Minnesota
Because I’m reckless like that.
I blame Seimone (in a good way) for your rooting interest
I am going to be nervous and pacey. My friend is over watching with me. I don’t know how active I will be on the thread except during commercials, but I will try!

I don't think it will go to 5
I don’t think Atlanta have the depth. But I desperately want it to go to 5 . . .
I want the Lynx to kick Atl in the teeth and win in 3.

My pick (or hope)
Is five games… and the Lynx… I’m already dreading the end of the season and the lull between W & college…
Oh yeah, and aside from predicting the Lynx to win, I’m wearing the Charde special! #LosLynx worldwide, all the way from Oklahoma :)

Woah, I had forgotten Catchings went 3rd in the draft.
I had to look up who went ahead of her.
Lauren Jackson. That’s fair enough. But…
Kelly Miller?
OK then.

Can someone tell me why people think the Lynx can't run?
Maybe I’m still traumatized by their first game at KeyArena in which they were up by 25+ by running…
But I’m not clear why people are harping on that..

Good grief
Who has said that? Brunson? Taj? What?
As for them not being fast: crap. Could it be they’re just talking about Taj & Whalen?
Taj followed Marion Jones down the court after a steal
and blocked her layup attempt. She’s fast when she wants to be.
But Whalen is what makes them so dangerous in transition...
And their depth allows them to go at it for 40 minutes… so…
Twitter: @NateP_SBN.
lol
I’m waiting for someone to actually explain why they think that’s a big deal, but have yet to hear it.
Granted, I understand that slowing the tempo would in theory hurt the Dream…

Come on, Angel, let’s see that inner demon!
Oh, it's so hard!
I’m leaning toward Atlanta, for somewhat perverse reasons, but wouldn’t be at all unhappy if the Cats won.
That move she made was one of those "get the basket or get fouled"
Atlanta isn't going to get a call at the rim it appears
So they might as well quit complaining and get back on defense

And while you’re at it, look at the sexy way he showed us in Boston how to dougie.
And while you’re at it, check out all the charges he took in the season, like 50 or something? Dat ass is there because he can fall on it and get back up.

I find him much better than the Redskins owner.
She did ask to be traded I believe
and a coach from Ohio State told her, “you’ll be the man in DC. Trust me.” It worked for a couple years…..

I tend to focus on whether a team is getting the shots they want.
Minn is doing so now… they’re just not going down.
SASS picked up a win in a game like this and kudos to ATL for making the Lynx suffer for not knocking them down, but this isn’t a terrible performance for Minn.

So maybe it's that people don't consider secondary offense in transition as "running"
Like a three doesn’t count the same way a layup does in people’s minds so that’s not running?
Just sayin….

Maybe rebounding doesn't count as part of a post game, either?
I don’t know, man. You and I have talked about this. I just boggle at what people say. All I can figure it that they didn’t actually watch any games.

Bales should not be stepping up and taking super long twos if the defender runs
at her (although everyone does it). Just wait and shoot the three from where you are. Or pass.

For Minny – Brunson and Augustus with 9 points, Rebekkah also has 6 boards; they have the rebounding edge 21-16, but also ‘lead’ the turnover category 6-1

19 in a quarter
That’s just nuts. Even for Angel/Lori Ann – wow
Atlanta 62, Minnesota 62 – End of the 3rd
Key stat: offensivve rebounding/post play
3rd qtr orebs:
Atl: 0
Minn: 3 (33.33%)
I’m gonna reiterate my point from earlier today: this is going to be an outstanding series.
Twitter: @NateP_SBN.
Minnesota's balance is showing
Atl desperately needs Lori Ann but Minnesota can afford for any one of their stars to not have a stellar night.
Kinda wacky calls both ways.
Sometimes I think the refs just toss a coin to figure out who to call fouls on.

Thanks for the recs
I’m glad you like that. It was fun to make. :D

Gah! The link broke!
I figured out what I did wrong in linking. Apparently Tumblr creates a variety of urls for images, and one, if accessed a certain way, has an expiration time. Lame.
Original image re-attached here (with what I hope is a non-expiring link):

Well you want in on this money-making scheme?
Just need some help with marketing, distribution..and, well, making it in a way that honors her.
But remember, if we let you in you can’t be drinking up the goods, man.
Decisions, decisions….
Twitter: @NateP_SBN.
There are times when I ask myself if there really were four players more valuable than Whalen this season.
Twitter: @NateP_SBN.
I'm glad Catch got it.
Was pretty much her last chance.
I wonder if Whalen will ever get it
Pg’s are eternally not voted for.
Yeah she just spaced out there.
I want to see the Lynx win, but not with that kind of help. :(

"Now Atlanta's a little out of control"
I’d say…these turnovers are not good. They look a little freaked to be behind…
My neighbors deserve them, too
For putting up with me yelling at the TV.

She'll be 41 one next month
She is IMMORTAL!!!
She has
Elfin blood? Or vampire blood? (what other things are immortal?)

Whalen does look tired.
Now taking bets that more people than Taj are sick.
Brunson is not one of them, however.
by Shannon Cotterell on Oct 2, 2011 10:37 PM EDT reply actions
I was wondering that
Whalen does not look her usual self.
I made the Captain Whalen picture
So that’s 1,000 words on Whalen from me. ;)

Brunson
She has one. She wants another.

I love love love that she's getting to do all the little things
Little Things Maya is more fun to me that Just A Scoring Machine Maya.

Announcers
Chatting about De Souza’s return…I’m curious what they’re going to do with her… Izi’s night tonight makes me think Erika will be starting. But who knows…wonder what kind of chemistry effect it’ll have…
I'd keep the same lineup, personally
They’ve played well with this rotation… and before making a change, I’d try to win with this lineup..

i love the announcers talking about lori ann

Angel is once again impressive
That 19 point 3rd quarter was inspired.

Taj has the stomach flu and will still block you
11 blocks from Minny. :D
by Shannon Cotterell on Oct 2, 2011 10:47 PM EDT reply actions
I give Taj all the credit in the world
It has got to be so hard to play with stomach issues and she looks exhausted but she’s still played a very effective game tonight. She’s crazy tough.
that was so cool. Looking forward to game two. Tired, gnight everyone.

You watching, Nate?
Evil Laimbeer’s talking about how fast Minnesota can score.
Whay and Seimone on right now
I ran out to get victory ice cream.
It’s blue.

Cotton candy
But it’s Coldstone so it’s actually pretty subtle. I thought it would be overwhelming, but I got it because it’s #LosLynx blue.

Lynx w/40 rebounds
But their posts suck, just so you know. :P
by Shannon Cotterell on Oct 2, 2011 11:19 PM EDT reply actions
Lynx with 23 fastbreak points compared to Atl's 15
But they have no running game, just so you know.
