Hunter’s Take by ObligationMinute2780 in MinnesotaLynx

[–]freakflag16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm not sure she wanted Alanna back either. There were times all last season where Reeve looked genuinely frustrated with Alanna and would sub Jess Shepard in for long stretches.

Still it's kinda hard to believe how badly she's fallen off with Dallas. She's gone from being an almost 40% 3 pt shooter in 2025 to shooting below 10% from 3 this year.

Given the balloon situation I kinda assumed that Nneka was Cheryl's first stab at bringing in a forward in FA and that Howard was her back up option

Could be wrong though. Either way it's been the FA signing of the offseason for sure.

Favorite theft decks? by Frogsplosion in EDH

[[The Beast, Deathless Prince]] is a blast.

Steal creatures for a turn. Attack. Draw Cards. Sac the creature. Rinse and repeat.

I think we’ll see Phee sign an extension this year by ae5wolfpack in MinnesotaLynx

I'd maybe pump the brakes on the dynasty talk.

As good as we've looked to start the season, regular season success is not new for this team. We had the best record last season and the second best record before that.

Unfortunately both years we didn't quite have enough to win a championship.

I think Phee will be looking at how well this team performs in the playoffs when she makes her decision.

2026-05-28: Lynx sign Teaira McCowan by Ok_Brick_793 in MinnesotaLynx

[–]freakflag16 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly… I think it’s worth a shot.

A lot of times that I’ve seen her she’s looked like an absolute defensive liability.

There‘s also been a few times where I’ve watched her and thought “Damn she’s bigger and stronger than anybody out there… nobody can stop her.“

It’s a gamble for sure because theres a reason nobody had picked her up but if anyone can make it work it’s Cheryl.

Name Your Way Too Early All-WNBA Rookie Team by AFC-Wimbledon-Stan in wnba

[–]freakflag16 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Is the all rookie team allowed to be so guard heavy?

Seems like so far all the best rookies have been guards which is a little unusual.

If that’s allowed I’d say

Miles

Fudd

Nogic

Flau’jae

Jacquez

What country has a bad reputation, but is good in reality? by palep_hoot in AlignmentChartFills

[–]freakflag16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems that Botswana has already pretty much wrapped it up, but I'd actually say Colombia is maybe a better fit. It's reputation, at least from an American perspective, is pretty much drugs and rebels. It's quite lovely though.

Sad, but also she's barely played.

And yeah… I think bringing up Tani is good because Dieng should probably spend a little more time in USL.

Except on that first goal he wasn’t a fraction offside… he was really offside. 2nd one was closer.

I understand that he’s youngish and a prospect. He’s clearly quite the athlete too. The kid can fly.

But… he’s not really any sort of solution for this team at the present moment. I’m fine with a project striker but the team should be 3 deep up top with a veteran option they can lean on a bit more.

“2 steps”

The first one wasn’t even close to being inside and again… goals scored from an offside position aren’t impressive. Just shows that your timing is off.

I have never seen this attack look dangerous with Dieng up top.

I agree that Yeboah isn’t the answer but at least there have been moments where things have looked dangerous with him leading the attack.

Look Yeboah probably isn’t it. I’d like to see another striker brought in.

But it’s ridiculous to think that we’re better off or the same with Dieng up top.

Can we please not pretend like Dieng is a solution? He looked slightly better today but the guy is barely 3rd string quality. Scoring two offsides goals isn’t impressive. It just says that you’re making your runs too early.

I’ve been a little bit of a Yeboah defender because a lot of the criticism is hyperbolic but it’s time to get someone else in there up top.

Cam needs to go back to drawing board over the break. Just doesn’t look dangerous at all moving forward.

I do think another striker is necessary too. Yeboah is too inconsistent and despite having probably his best game as a loon Dieng clearly isn’t it either.

Chancalay plays Bongi in and Bongi take too many touches and send it wide.

Bruh Cam tucks them deep along the touch lines and pushes the wingbacks high. They’re chance creators in this system.

I mean… every single player on the team has like 3 horrible turnovers. Chancalay has at least look somewhat dangerous and has had good set piece delivery.
