WNBA Finals Here!

After 4 months of basketball the WNBA Championship Finals is here. With the Atlanta Dream going against the Minnesota Lynx. 
 The Lynx went 2-1 with the Silver Stars, 2-0 with the Phoenix Mercury, and now they are 1-0 with the Atlanta Dream. From the start of the season I knew that the Lynx were going to win it all. With players like Seimone Augustus, Lindsay Whalen, Rebekkah Bruson, Maya Moore, and Taj McWilliams-Franklin, who didn't think that the Lynx would win it all. With Maya Moore on the team it brought a winning mentality from day 1, and it has stuck with them all the way through. Siemone's scoring ability is amazing combined with Lindsay Whalen being the top point guard in the league and Rebekkah Bruson being one of the top rebounders this team had it solidified at being one of the toughest teams to beat. However, I would not doubt the Atlanta Dream coming back with a surprise win over the Lynx. Angel McCoughtry is the most unstoppable player in this league. She reminds me a little of Magic Johnson in that they both have two personalities when it comes to basketball. When Earvin Magic Johnson was on the court he became the fierce competitor Magic, but off the court he was known as Earvin. Angel McCoughtry on the courts is known as the hard playing of Lori Ann, but off the courts she is same old Angel. Angel had a great game of 33 points, but she needs to get her team involved because when she stops making shots then her teammates need to start making them, which is the reason why the lost in the first game. The Lynx's 11 blocks were also another reason why the Dream lost. This was a great night for Minnesota sports having a little over 15,000 fans in attendance is the second highest in franchise history. My future predictions will be that Minnesota will go 3-1 and win the championship because there is no way to beat a team as solid as that.


A Big night in deed!
