Lynx home finale(?)

Lynx 81
Fever 73

They had me quite worried there.

The Lynx came into their regular season home finale in position to possibly still get one of these single elimination playoff games at home. But to do that they for sure needed to beat lowly Indiana, along with winning probably at least one of their 2 remaining road games.

So naturally they played for most of the first 3 quarters like a team destined to not see Target Center again until 2020.

Indiana could not miss a fucking shot in that first half. They shot like 60% for the half, and it wasn't all the Lynx playing poorly. The Lynx shot okay, and had an edge in turnovers and rebounding which kept it close. Indiana never led by more than 7, I think.

Lynx defense improved in the 3rd, but they still couldn't get over the hump. Then Sexi Lexi Brown hit a couple huge threes at the end of the 3rd to get the lead back. And that really propelled the Lynx, who pretty much put the hammer down in the 4th. They led by 10 or close to 10 for basically the last 6 minutes or so.

Odyssey Sims had a big game. ROY did a little of everything. It wasn't artistic, but it's always great to hear a fired up Lynx crowd.

The team certainly is playing some of its best ball right now. I think, regardless of what seed they end up with, making a deep run in the playoffs is probably a long shot. But to basically have the same record as last year given all that was lost from this team, Cheryl Reeve should be coach of the year.

Message Board Classics: 2004 NFL Season

Preseason kickoff post (and other posts): Oh yes, it IS that time again. Training camps are open. The first preseason games are less than a week away. Players are already being idiots. It's the best time of the sports year. It is not yet the time for predictions, but I'll hit on some of the big recent stories. Ricky Williams retires. Well, we know now he did so cuz he was gonna be suspended for using marijuana. He's a little shit as far as I'm concerned. You do not abandon your team when he did. He had every right to retire, but do it at least before the draft. He's left the Dolphins with zero chance of making the playoffs. They couldn't go get Eddie George or Antowain Smith, nor could they draft a RB. The Cowboys cut Quincy Carter. I spent all offseason pleading with Dallas to go get a QB like Warner or Collins or Garcia. Instead they fail to upgrade, and now take a step back. Vinny is 80 years old and has little if anything left. My prediction is that Drew Hen...

Awful NFL season ends with awful Super Bowl

BUCCANEERS 31 CHIEFS 9 The 2020 NFL season is over. Thank god! A season that was almost across the board unenjoyable, and felt empty and largely felt manipulated, ended with the worst outcome imaginable. With a result that not only continues this 20 year nightmare but that will frankly hurt the NFL for years to come. I was not looking forward to this game. I knew this was going to happen. Maybe not in blowout fashion but I knew the NFL was going to see to it that Tom Brady got his 7th title. The house wins. The game was never fun. Right from the start the Chiefs seemed sleepy, like they weren't really in it. This team plays with swagger, but in this game they had none. Patrick Mahomes was under enormous pressure from the start. The Chiefs grabbed the 1st lead at 3-0 but then from basically the end of the 1st quarter until halftime it was a nightmare. The Chiefs offense remained lifeless. The Chiefs defense did manage a goal line stand that at the moment seemed like it could be a tu...
