On the bright side, the Wings just showed the other teams how to take down the Valks. Slightly better defense and they’re toast. That offense won’t go if the defense is tight.

Home court advantage mattered in that series. Valhalla did its job.

These GSV fans are booing the wrong things. That was a foul.

These officials are so bad. Yet another embarrassment. Ceci jumped forward.

Vanessa Phelan @nessaphelan.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

There are so many fouls in this game that should have been no calls. These refs HAVE to put themselves right in the middle of the action.

Let’s go, Dream! Gray and Reese are two of my not-a-Lynx faves. Give the Liberty hell, friends, and come into it knowing they have the Stewie whistle.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com Jennifer Weiner is one of many women “who’d spent their undergraduate years marching and protesting,” she writes in a guest essay. For these women, fury over the Cornell sexual assault case “was laced with a kind of bewildered exhaustion. How is this still happening?”

This is so messed up. The mayor is awful.

Last thought of the night is that Courtney to Phee passing got a lot better after an Unrivaled season together. Can Phee please fix the Unrivaled process so she and Liv are on the same team?

I just did a Dolly Parton “Mule Skinner Blues” YouTube wormhole and it does not matter when in her life Dolly sang a song, she sang about shitty men with a sense of humor and a smile on her face and her voice was clear as a goddamn bell. That song has a motor b/c of the frantic guitar and fiddle.

This wasn’t the year. Big hugs to everyone who cares about this team.

I’m thinking about the ceiling we’ve been unable to break through. Last year, AT bodied the Lynx into submission. Tonight JJ got three rebounds in the first few minutes and the Lynx fell apart. I believe the hole on the roster is that there isn’t a bully ball 5 with height on the team.

This has been a months long slide into an awful end to a season and I’m going to be upset about it for a while, then I’ll get over it and Cheryl will do what she does in the off season. They need to get a tall big who can body people in the post and I think she can figure that out.

Vanessa Phelan @nessaphelan.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

One good thing about this playoffs is that Phee has not increased her market value.

060

Vanessa Phelan @nessaphelan.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

They just don’t have the tenacity to get it done. I’m going to watch to the end, but they started faltering when when Phee and Dorka came back and fell off the tracks in the last third of the season.

010

Vanessa Phelan @nessaphelan.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Love how they just cut a whole bunch of Lynx being upset to lead to that commercial. For fuck’s sake.

020

Vanessa Phelan @nessaphelan.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Seems pretty clear that they’re not doing the game plan again.

I’m glad Courtney and Nia showed up. It’s not enough.

So, Xcel doesn’t want to hire enough people to fix problems with their new billing system, which is both over- and undercharging municipalities so badly that one StP account has $20K in credits? I smell AI. www.twincities.com/2026/09/29/s...

The company stated that the primary causes of an uptick in billing errors in 2023 to 2025 “were the coinciding impacts of two major technology initiatives – the replacement of our Monitoring Device Management System with a centralized meter device inventory and management system, and upgrading our Itron metering and billing platform – along with staffing transitions that reduced our ability to handle an unexpected amount of manual work in the early phase of those technology initiatives.”

Liberty are playing with so much more intensity. Astier is running Olivia off the fucking court.

040

Vanessa Phelan @nessaphelan.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Olivia is wasting too much time. Her holding the ball that long makes the whole team stagnate. She must be quicker. I’m worried that she’s doubting herself.

Vanessa Phelan @nessaphelan.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Minnesota girlie putting the team on her back. Yes, Nia! 4 point play!!!

030

Vanessa Phelan @nessaphelan.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Cmon. Working together works! Great help by Court to cause a miss and then a great pass by Maya to Tash. This is the way.

040

Vanessa Phelan @nessaphelan.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

I’m hoping Nia goes in soon. They need some fight down low.

Vanessa Phelan @nessaphelan.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

So weird to me that journos are like “fans are blaming officials for the loss”…is this an X thing? Because the people I follow are all worried about our Lynx being disjointed. That said, you can’t argue that the officiating was inconsistent and 2 of Phee’s 4 fouls in particular were egregious…

Grady’s on the call for Mystics and Dream on Prime.

A’ja deserves MVP. My goodness.

Dorka being a human traffic cone really hurts when teams have height. Phee is not doing a good job of using her body to draw fouls/prevent blocks. She looks hesitant in the post.

Vanessa Phelan @nessaphelan.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Same problems from the last 4 Ls are rearing up. Atrocious transition D, broken rotations, shooting like trash.

040

Vanessa Phelan @nessaphelan.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Really wish the Lynx would work together on offense. It’s all individual drives and it’s not working well.

130

Vanessa Phelan @nessaphelan.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Olivia did an impression of Stewie flailing to the official after that last foul and it looked a little something like this…pretty accurate IMO

Lynx need to clean things up, but the inconsistent and at times outrageous officiating is so frustrating to watch. Why put this man as the head official on this game? Fucking bozos.

Olivia Miles, you are a killer. This place exploded.

Vanessa Phelan @nessaphelan.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Loving the flow on offense and Maya is EVERYWHERE on defense. Olivia is making a point of grabbing rebounds today.

Very excited about the tshirt! It’s not white! It’s not a rally towel! 🎉🎉🎉

Anyone know what the giveaway will be for game 1? I fear we will be stuck with another rally towel.

Oh, hi, Lynx. We missed you while you were away.

Vanessa Phelan @nessaphelan.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Anyone else wondering how this impacts Phee’s free agency? Of all the starters, she needs reps. I’d like to think she takes it in stride, but what other coach would do this? Clearly Cheryl has drawn a line. I’ll be interested to hear the postgame remarks.

I love the confidence the Lynx crew is showing. They’re communicating on D and working together on O. It’s a nice change of pace from the disconnectedness of the first quarter. Got it down to single digits!!! That’s a huge victory in and of itself.

I think this is the weirdest game I’ve ever seen.
