Lynx win 86-80. Minnesota now 3-0 against New York this year, and they play again on Tuesday in NY.

And still without Collier so pretty good win even if at home.
It looks like she was 1 on 5. Totally accurate depiction of how it would have happened if it occurred IRL.
Woof. They have had a ton of bad injury luck.
Crossing fingers that Lynx get Collier back soon and that they keep healthy.
Yes, hoping Lynx get Collier back healthy and keep things rolling.
As an aside, I have been consistently rooting against Chicago Sky and for Connecticut Sun, as Lynx own the Chicago 2026 first round pick. If Lynx somehow landed first pick, selected Lauren Betts, that’s an unstoppable front court with the reigning defensive player of year and presumptive MVP this year, next to a shot blocking 6-7 rookie center. That coupled with best coach (Reeve) and great supporting cast (Bridget!), not sure how anyone scores on that.
WNBA has no lottery, draft order is based on how teams records.

Met a gal a few years ago while birding at a local nature center. Walked and talked with her for quite bit and she said she was writing and illustrating a kids book about birds. Showed me an image on her phone of birds she had drawn, they were mostly plump depictions of common birds. Now, a few years later, I see her books in stores along with cards and little stuffed bird animals based on her drawings. Pretty cool. I respect and admire all of the work she has done to promote that and get it all together like she has.
And now, after my pitch for Heather's Little Birdies, back to our regularly featured topic, thee WNBA.

Lol, that's awesome, good for her. Not easy. So many would-be writers who are a little daunted by the idea of writing fiction just assume they can more easily break into the children's book space... less words, less chapters, less complicated stories and characters, just overall a much "easier" thing to write. Not true at all.Met a gal a few years ago while birding at a local nature center. Walked and talked with her for quite bit and she said she was writing and illustrating a kids book about birds.

For those in the thread not just to diss the WNBA, the Minnesota Lynx (probably still without Collier) will play at the Fever (without Clark and a whole slew of their players) tonight on ION at 6:30. Een with the teams marquee players out it's still a chance to see Cyclone Bridget Carleton play on something other than the regional for crap streaming service for the MN pro teams.
Lynx lost last night but Carleton started and had 16 points in 36 minutes of play.

WNBA League Pass is only $13/month. They air most of the games that aren't on ESPN/ABC/NBC/etc. and the quality is pretty good.
I think there is an ever-lower cost option (I want to say $7.99/$8.99) if you already have a streaming service - i.e. Amazon Prime/ YTTV. It's how my wife follows the league, but you cannot watch games on the WNBA app, only through the streamers app.
Blackouts, man, blackouts. At least for me living in Minnesota. Like my MLB Yankee team package blacked me out for the Twins games, even the ones played in NY.
And getting $20'd to death on subscription this and subscription that so had to cut some stuff and that included NBA TV, MLB TV and the Bally group that does the MN pro teams.
BC with a big shot towards the end of the game!!
Lynx win 95-90!
Quite the game!!

Minnesota steamrolled Golden State in game 1 of their best-of-3 opening round series, 101-72.
