I'm not betting on this but if I were, I'd have a grand on the Lynx, if for no other reason, home teams are 6-0 in the playoffs.

Way better start for the Mercury. All the other series were finished 2-0. Hopefully the Mercury can draw this one out.

And the first round is over...... all home teams won their series 2-0. Not the best year for the Merc, but they made the playoffs and were competitive. Now.... about Turasi..... "Stay or go..."

I think fans want her to stay. She's not top level anymore, but she's better than a lot of players in the league. They are starting to get more physical in getting Copper, etc. Still, this team is lacking identity. More changes need to be made.

I am not sold on the coach. For example this game he had doubles to crowd the person with the ball when they were screening with their star Collier, who would just slip down the lane and they would pass between both players for Collier's easy buckets. They used that same philosophy over two games and it didn't work. Why not have someone NOT switch or crowd, and stay on Collier, or at the very worst, just double Collier and let the ball handler try their luck from the outside and beat us with long range jumpers?

I really feel the last three coaches have let this team down. The talent we have is either deficient, or the coaches don't know how to optimize the type of talent we have.

The GM is supposed to be good. Let's see what the offseason brings.
