| She has to take more than 10 shots and score more than 11 points for the Lynx to continue to improve.

"Continue to improve" is putting it mildly. Nicole has to get some aggression.
And some boards. 8 isn't terrible, except that Tamika Williams (who does nothing on offense, in many games, except wait for an O-board) had just 4; we need more from Tamika or more from Ohlde or fewer fouls (hence more minutes) from Vanessa, and at this point "more from Ohlde" seems most likely.
Lovelace in double figures again. She's the Lynx's secret weapon. Too bad we don't have more non-secret weapons.
Mighty Mouse with 10 assists! Must have been a wonderful game to watch for Mystics fans. Who finally have a home win.

| Didn't Minnesota start off terrible last year, they were almost embarassing early last year, and then they clicked, and off they went.

Nah, they really weren't close to embarassing early. Last season they added like 7 new face & had a rookie starting and won here, lost there & after 10 gms were 5-5. But then yes they did start coming together & got on a roll.
Even though we don't have the ideal PG situation I still have higher expectations then last yr. We now have 9 players back & only 2 rookies as our 10, 11th players. Looking at their first 10 gms this yr I was going to be happy w/4-6. Gms 8,9 & 10 are a west coast road trip (SEA, then SAC & LA on a back to back  ) They say pressure makes diamonds right 
I'm not burying them after 4 gms, I just see little trends that I don't like but at least they seem fixable. KT is getting back to form but its the rest of the team I'm looking to see start steppin up. |
I agree.
We were 5-5 at one point, yeah, but it hurt to watch that team, and we lost some lousy, slow games (lost to Sacto at home, almost lost to SA): the Lynx's great run came in part from a lineup change (Edwards to 2 guard, Darling to PG, Lassiter out of the starting lineup). If things don't improve I expect a lineup change in late June again: I can think of several worth trying, though none worth trying YET (Hayden starting instead of Williams, Stacey starting instead of Svet).
I'd be happy with 4-6 at this point too.

… Her issues are not fouls its more like lack of production.
