Regardless, they still have The Best Record In The WNBA, and even though they might not need it, the cavalry still came this Week. After long injuries and rehab, both Napheesa Collier and Dorka Johasz (the latter actually sat out last Year because she was too tired from playing overseas for the 2024-5 season) starting practicing. I don't have any reason to believe neither player is not on schedule, so if they progress like they should, their fresh legs should be back in time to terrorize the paint against every opponent for the rest of the season. Thank Buddha; I think part of the reason they petered out both previous postseasons is they were fatigued at the end. Getting full effort from, at worst, The Third-Best Player In The W -- when the Lynx are tops in the league without her and Juhasz -- in the stretch run is like trading for a blockbuster player. Actually, I kind of feel bad for Natasha Howard, the 4/5 both Collier and Juhasz will take minutes from. She's revitalized her career to the point she might be named an All-Star at noon today/Thursday.
The club and league get back into the swing of things this Week. There's a big one in New York tomorrow/Friday night, then they have a home-and-home vs. The Bastard Orlando Miracle (here Monday, there Wednesday).
#-2: Twins (Last Week: -2). I don't want to completely ignore the Twinks. After all, they went 2-1 in both series they played this screening Week, home versus Colorado and at Houston. I just don't have anything else to say about them, mostly because I've been World Cup-pilled. Well, I believe that Byron Buxton has been largely injury-free for the second Year in a row (knock on wood), and even though I wish we could've seen this level of health early in his career, better late than never. He's the squad's surefire All-Star.
In the Bronx to take on the Yankees this weekend for three, then home to play Cleveland for three beginning on Tuesday.
