Boy, I can see a few losses in that group of games. Won't that be weird???

Thanks to MBR33CT for the info!

It was fun to watch the Minnesota/Chicago game. Some great performances by Elena Delle Donne and Cappie Poindexter for Chicago. Two amazing offensive players.

For Minnesota, they have just a terrific team. I don't see them losing too many games. Maya Moore was just her usual outstanding self. She hit this one pull up three pointer that was just beautiful. I was so impressed with Renee Montgomery. Her defense was a big part of the Lynx win. She flat out stole the ball from the Sky players 3 times off the dribble. And she hit some big threes. Sylvia Fowles showed that she is maybe the best center in the WNBA.

Great basketball. I suggest you get WNBA game pass and watch some wonderful games.
