WNBA Semifinals No Test For the Best

The physical grind out game that surfaced in the Minnesota Lynx and Phoenix Mercury matchup happened between Diana Taurasi and Lindsay Whalen. The top pt guard in the semi's and the top shooting guard in the semi's exuded their championship experience in a fierce toe to toe battle and Lindsay Whalen orchestrated her team to a win with 19pts and 7 ast to a 113-95 victory. It was too easy for the Minnesota Lynx who were pushovers last night inside and outside. Sylvia Fowles had a quiet 16 pts and 10 rebs despite foul trouble. Maya Moore had a cool 30 for 30 story last night and added 9 rebounds. The Lynx chain could not be broken with almost 7 players finishing in double figure scoring. Diana Taurasi finished with 25pts in her team's debacle and will need more help for the Mercury to rise in Phoenix. Next matchup Friday night at 8pm Et ESPNNews .

This dynamic frontcourt has one goal and one goal only to dominate and win.

I said the Chicago Sky had to slow down the Los Angeles Sparks front-court to have a chance in this semifinal matchup. The Sparks broke a little sweat in the 1st quarter after a few missed shot opportunities and turnovers but they quickly gained their composure to  put the Sky away 95-75 and go up 1-0 in the best of 5 series. Candace Parker had 30pts and 9 rebounds and the Sky have no answer for her. The WNBA MVP Nneke Ogwumike had 27pts and 10 rebounds and the Sky have no answer for her.  This tag team duo have the Sparks glittering right now. It will take a fierce storm from the Sky to extinguish the Sparks shine. Next matchup Friday night 10pm Et on ESPNNews.

Alana Beard is still bringing that playoff intensity hope she gets her one. Oh I miss that feeling. True playoff intensity

I'm bringing great energy to my NBRPA staff meetings after watching basketball all night. I was reminiscing last night like wow it seems like yesterday I was getting ready for playoff games. Oh what a life I had and what a new life I'm creating. I still love this game. Okay folks I have to get to my meetings until next time if you fall down shrug your shoulders and get back up again. Remember hope drains energy and action creates it. Thanks for reading.
