#-1: Lynx (Last Week: -1). Won both games this week, and in convincing fashion: A 15-point win at home Tuesday over San Antonio, followed by a nine-point victory in Tulsa, their first road win of the year. Like the previous two years, there is no set #1 scorer; Maya Moore, Seimone Augustus and Lindsay Whalen continue to be the Lynx's "Big 3" with anyone stepping up at any time. Whalen, in particular, was essential for the team to get through cold shooting in the first half against the Silver Stars before her teammates found their scoring touch. Janel McCarville continues to make a difference without making buckets, something I'm afraid can't continue if the squad is going to contend for another WNBA championship. This week they finish their three-game road trip with contests in Phoenix Wednesday and Los Angeles Friday, then they come home to face The Bastard Detroit Shock Sunday.
#-2: Twins (Last Week: -2). Chopping at 3-3 this screening week; won the series against Philadelphia but dropped the final game, depriving them of a sweep, then the organization lost the series versus Detroit. What has now happened is the offense drying up; this week the team scored 3, 4, 2, 0, 6 and 2 runs. And this is coming as the pitching, especially the starting rotation, finally straightened itself out. Man, first the bats are there but the pitching isn't, and now it's vice versa. They finish their long homestand playing three against the White Sox, then hitting the road for a quick five-game, six-day road trip beginning with a weekend series in Cleveland.
