The reckless closeout rules need to change in both the W and the NBA. Too many shooters jump into the defenders cylinder and get rewarded. The rule was established because defenders were invading a shooter's cylinder and creating a dangerous landing zone. Now it's the opposite.

Flipped over to the NFL game and man, it is pretty disgusting to hear Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit do their best to rehabilitate the image of a sexual predator. Switching back to WNBA (and staying there).

The Lynx are ending too soon again this year. I had fairly low expectations heading into the season, but this team has given me so much joy at a time when there hasn't been enough to go around here in the Twin Cities. Thank you Lynx! See you next season. I'll see some of you at Unrivaled!

And where is the pick n' roll with Olivia and Natasha or Phee? So many forced drives to the basket with high degree of difficulty shots into the teeth of the defense. Nothing inside/out to get open 3's. So much dribbling without putting any pressure on the D. It's like they forgot everything.

Still time to turn it around, but this Lynx team lost their mojo heading into the FIBA break and haven't gotten it back. Bad shot selection, poor passing, limited ball movement, slow in transition, lazy switches on D to give up easy mismatches. I don't recognize this team at all.

Lynx with only 24 pts in the second half in 16+ minutes. Probably Olivia's worst game of her career. One of the only times she has looked like a rookie all season. Best road team in the league will have to prove it on Tuesday.

I don't think it is a coincidence that two of the loudest voices in the fight for WNBA equality, improved resources, and quality of referees (Phee and Cheryl) are consistently disrespected by the refs and the league. Imagine if this is how the NBA treated Popovic and Duncan.

Mr. Blues Guy @threeorangewhips.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Other than Nia, no Lynx played to their standard in the first half and they still are up four. Need to come out with their hair on fire to start the 3rd quarter.

I love when ESPN talks about the refs "letting them play" when the Lynx have four more fouls and their frontcourt is on the bench with 3 each.

I don't think there is a player in the WNBA protected on D more than Jonquel Jones. Somehow Natasha has three fouls, including at least one that was almost no contact 25 feet from the basket but Jones only has two while patrolling the paint like Ray Lewis.

Liberty have been hand checking and bodying Miles all game. Olivia does it and it's a foul.

These refs are confoundingly bad. Jones crashes through Coffey...no call. Caldwell touches Johannes...foul.

That should be Jonquel Jones' 2nd flagrant and automatic ejection after drilling Howard in the chin in the 1st quarter.

Vikings O-line has not looked good. No push for the RB's and no time for the QB. Against a mediocre line without Parsons.

I've seen a lot of coverage of MN's "record turnout" of 1.1M in the Primary. What I haven't seen is analysis of the fact that nearly 300K more people voted in the DFL primary than the REP one (in MN you can't split). Seems like the media wants to make the general election race closer than it is.

The only Minnesota Twins pitcher to not give up a run tonight was a position player...helping a Cleveland team jump from 30th to 28th in runs scored on the season. Is this a blip or the start of a hardcore regression to the mean (-19 since the All Star break)?

The best comparison I can think of for Olivia Miles (yes I know I am old) is Magic Johnson. The skill, the passing, the impact, and most of all the pure joy of winning and making your teammates better.

If LeBron signs with the Cavs or Heat he just wants a victory lap. If he wants to be the Goat and bring a title to a 4th franchise? Timberwolves are the right choice. Plus, the fit on the court is perfect. Regardless, I hope he makes a decision soon so I can stop thinking about it

In the NBA, there are very few players that can make any situation great. For everyone else, the situation makes the player. Wolves have to hope that is the case with LaMelo; that the situation in MN is strong enough to break his bad habits and behavior. Unfortunately this feels like D-Lo part 2.

More egregious than missing a wide open breakaway is Josh Hart failing to put a body on Castle and fouling him on the offensive rebound with 30 seconds to go. Knicks should be up 3 not down 1.

Under Mike Brown, the Knicks core rotation (other than Brunson) have all seen major minutes reductions this year. Ranging from 3 fewer min/gm for Towns to 7.5 min/gm fewer for Hart. Over the course of the season this reduction is the equivalent of 8 - 15 fewer games played. Ya takin' notes Thibs?

Melting down in elimination games 3 years in a row means it is time to shake things up. This was the "run it back" year that should have resulted in home court in the playoffs and a more favorable path to the finals. Instead we spent the year in FAFO mode and Finch acts like he has no control.

Without Divo we needed to get 3PT volume and accuracy from Ayo, Jaden, Randle and Naz to make up that difference and keep the floor balanced. Only Naz has stepped up in any meaningful way. Jaden's 3pt shot has completely abandoned him for the entire playoffs and Randle hasn't made a 3 since X-mas.
