Totally random but I just noticed the Taj quote in your signature. Mama Taj is just way too awesome.
It's from one o the links above
She was talking about Adair being a “real” center, and then followed it up with “I just play one on TV”.

One of the reasons I've always disliked the dream is because of that exactly
That is not the sort of basketball I want to watch.
Rebounding.. not easy against the Lynx...
…even if you have more than 13 feet of post out there….

I thought Brunson was going to throw that one down
I thought Angel was going to dunk one the other night.

de Souza is really helping the Dream maintain poise on offense
Just by dumping it inside every so often they’re keeping the Lynx honest and taking better (less contested) shots.

Nah
There’s something nice about the backdrop of 8 other players surrounding them that makes it less surreal…
Twitter: @NateP_SBN.
Only because the rest of the Lynx are bricking.
Brunson 1-4
Taj 1-6
Whalen 1-4

Atlanta 58, Minnesota 50 - halftime
Ho. Ly. Wow. for Angel to beat the buzzer…
Angel 24 points, Seimone 19 points.
Is someone gonna get career-highed tonight?
Or did we retire that at the end of the reg season?

NEVER WILL BE RETIRED!

Key stat: shooting efficiency, again
That was the best half of basketball I’ve watched statistically in some time…
Yes it was a one on one duel, but it was an efficient one:
Dream: 71.05% eFG% (3-4 from 3pt land)
Lynx: 61.11% (0-1 from 3 pt land)
Who’s more likely to stay that hot? Or … maybe the question is which will give the duelers more help…

Never been much for the NBA, but I’ve been there with NHL in 2004-05 (and have my fears they’re gonna do it all over again next season), and I wouldn’t wish that on any fanbase. Absolutely miserable. Hope they can get it figured out.

Atlants 74, Minnesota 69 - end of the 3rd
No one is wanting to lose this game, that is quite evident.
Key stat: ... shooting efficiency... but the other way
3rd Effective field goal percentage:
Dream: 25%
Lynx: 46.67%
We’re seeing the same pattern – the jumpers are not going to carry the Dream. They have to attack more…and more than McCoughtry has to do it.

Apparently it doesn't matter
Since ATL is killing at the line. :/

The thing about the calls now... is they're going both ways...
So players just gotta play through it… and drive hard to take advantage. ;)

That's an OK foul
Take 2 people down? Good job, Adair.

When asked about it, Angel said one of the least wacky things she's ever said
She said she had done a good job of getting to the free-throw line, but that she needed to make more of those opportunities. Better than saying “:yeah I should have taken another jumper”.

We're starting to see more of the "good" Dream
Attacking and forcing the D to come up with an answer.
Half or full court, nobody can contend with all that…

What the...
I know “Sweet Caroline” is the song of victory, but that’s supposed to be for after the game at the bar after you’ve had a few too many.

This is not a happy pump up song
So weird to hear Sweet Caroline at a basketball game. I don’t think I like it. And not just because I’m a Boston fan.

The Minnesota Lynx
Played game 1 sick, and then the starters were back up the next morning doing a kids clinic. They’ve been the talk of the town and have done 90 billion interviews and appearances since game 1. The starters must be exhausted. They’ve played a ton of this game with 2 starters stuck on the bench with injuries/foul trouble.
And now they are still on the verge of winning this game.

Seimone was crazy good:
McCoughtry: 38 points (10-22, 2-6, 16-21), 3 rebounds, 2 assists.
Augustus: 36 points (11-14, 1-1, 13-16), 8 rebounds, 3 assists.
i love the lynx shenanigans in the background, maya/2012 dancing, all of it.

where were the wnba haters?
with the lockout going on, wnba fans who don’t care about the lockout are laughing right now. As for NBA fans who don’t care about the wnba and want the league to shut down after this year’s finals and make that a deal maker to end the lockout, well, they are incorrigible.
