Atlanta 20, Minnesota 17 - end of the 1st

De Souza with 8 and 7 rebounds (!), Angel with 6 for the Dream…

Ice with 6, Brunson with 5 for the Lynx…

by Jessica Lantz on Oct 7, 2011 8:33 PM EDT reply actions  

Key stat: free throw rate (a reversal)

1st qtr ft rates:
Lynx: 9.5%
Dream: 35%

I’m going to insist it’s far less about home reffing and more about a mentality of getting better shots as a unit.

de Souza’s scoring points to the same thing..

okay, i get it. i knew they were buds

so Skylar can say, Candice is my friend, she gave me the ticket, and then she’s fine?

It’s not common that NCAA men’s players even go to NBA games at least as far as I know. But then there’s a bigger microscope.

by thewiz06 on Oct 7, 2011 9:06 PM EDT up reply actions  

It might be OK

I mean, the rules are all about boosters for that school buying stuff for the players to be perks for them going to that school.

The rules don’t make it so that players can’t take any gifts from friends.

But however she got there and got the ticket, I’m very certain Skylar was smart enough that if she didn’t pay for it all herself, that she checked with compliance first. :)

Atlanta 37, Minnesota 33 - Halftime

As we all know, Atlanta has lead each of the halves so far, so….

Anyway, leaders: Angel 11, de Souza 9 & 9, Lyttle 8
Wiggins (showing off for buddy Sky?) with 9, Seimone with 8

Rebounds tied at 20, Minny has 12 turnovers

by Jessica Lantz on Oct 7, 2011 9:03 PM EDT reply actions  

Key 2nd qtr stat: those 2nd qtr turnovers

2nd quarter turnovers:

Minn: 9 (46.39% of their possessions)
Atl: 3 (16.48%)

Minnesota’s halftime turnover rate is the highest of all series…

No small part of why they’re leading right now despite shooting 36.8% from the field….

Random trivia:
  • The Dream have led at halftime in all three games.
  • The last teams of the major leagues (MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL) to be swept in a final series are the NHL St. Louis Blues, which were swept in the cup in 1968, 69, and 70. The Buffalo Bills lost 4 in a row from 1991 to 1994.

there is literally no scientific background to the "apocalypse" theory dude

I’m serious, don’t believe what you hear. I’ve written, read, studied, researched tons about Mayan culture for work and there is not one credible piece of evidence. Besides, most cultures had apocalypse predictions that never happened. Also, look, the planet shifted since the time of the mayans who aligned their pyramids to the “wrong” stars, so the date calculated is completely off and already passed in 2007. I hope to see you laughing at the apocalypse heads next year just like me because nothing will happen, this is an awesome planet that can be fixed with our science, and be happy and eat waffles

I've always been grateful for my two sports fandoms and the timing of their respective seasons.

WNBA season and NHL season overlap for about a week in the fall if the WNBA finals go 5 games, and about 2 weeks in June depending how long the Stanley Cup Final goes. I have some sort of sport to watch all year long.

Well as long as he doesn't end up like Albert, I think he'll be fine.

and I think Rajan is one of the most overrated PG’s in the NBA. Without the talent around him and his driving ability (to the hoop obviously), he’d be liability since he can’t shoot for his life. His FT%age is close to Shaq territory and his FG%age is high because of his driving which is great. Put him on the Wizards and we’d be calling him the worst PG in the NBA.

At the same time, thank god Rajan is in the right team and right system as well, because being in the right system can make a player much more valuable to his team, and in the wrong system , he will look very bad.
