| After several hours to reflect on the #WNBAFinals... So here's the thing - yes, the Minnesota Lynx were totally screwed on the lack of call on that fairly obvious (even from my vantage point) shot clock violation. I actually thought it WAS called and totally missed that not only was it NOT called, but the Sparks got a bucket out of it. ALL THAT SAID...in a game that was super tight and close the whole night, the Lynx ended up spotting the Sparks an 8 point lead with like three minutes to go, so it's not like I was feeling super confident anyway. Still, they came right back and DID tie it up, and for a fleeting moment it felt like this time they'd manage to pull it out. But, just like in Game 1, they left too much time on the clock and the D just couldn't make one last stop (Game 1) and/or rebound (Game 5). Having been to two Game 5s in a row, I can now give you the hot take that winning by double digits is a far preferable viewing experience than losing by 1 in the final three seconds of regulation, new scoreboard or not. It was LOUD - I kept my earplugs in for the entire game this time around. My seat (206/G/17) was a "row of one" right in the corner with no seats in front of me - hope you saw my panorama here on Facebook - and it may have been the best kept secret in the building...I promise you there's NO leg room in my regular Timberwolves seat unlike the glorious free space I had here. I got another free shirt I don't need and with the Lynx not winning a championship I didn't find myself committed to another purchase of $50 or so worth of Champions' gear, so I consider tonight money saved even if it was the first Lynx game I'd ever paid for (and I'm probably easily in the double digits by now). Still...Lindsay Whalen is still super great and Maya Moore is uh-maaazing but boy, would I rather have had a win here. Only one more to go to finish my four night residency at Target Center! |

| Oh NOW I remember - that Ramsey Lewis track I picked yesterday reminds me a lot of this JB jam (you GOTTA have parts one AND two, duh) so there's definitely some continuity going on. I love when that happens! (I MADE that happen!)
