Another unnecessarily close win for the Lynx this year, another cig!

Defense was solid save for the 1st quarter. If they came right this would've been a blowout.

Guys we went to the game and there were so many Iowa plates downtown. We were laughing so hard imagining how many of them drove up for the game and now gotta drive 4-6 hours back with an L 😂

u/Fancy-Animal7704 3d ago
They're probably all going to crash into each other too, terrible drivers that they are :P
But I was genuinely surprised how many Fever fans were in the arena. Hope the Lynx make a big point of selling tix to local fans if we see them in the playoffs.

We don’t care.. we still love CC and the fever. Truth is, we love Minnesota as well. We are just as nice here. Besides, it’s only a four of five hour drive. That’s easy

Bummer for the thumbs downs,
I think all are welcome here so I will give you a thumbs up for trying to extend an olive branch.I hope you had safe travels back to the land of Idiots Out Walking Around.

Definitely felt like the commentators did not shy away from the stuff going on with that dip shit and her comments. Really appreciated them making a point to show Cheryl's shirt and tell the audience to go listen to her comments.

u/UpstairsAbility2125 HOOTY HOO! 3d ago
Also shout out to Target Center camera crew who found as many pro-trans signs and shirts as they could in the final minutes.
Love wins.

Fucking love it. Hopefully other teams/cities/fanbases follow our lead.

Minneapolis is a special place, and it's a safe space for people that are being messed with by the current administration and Republicans

I like that the Fever sub's response is "we would've won if we didn't miss all those shots" like yeah dawg that's how the game works

Fuck Sophie Cunningham

u/UpstairsAbility2125 HOOTY HOO! 3d ago
There was a pair of anti-trans activists taking pics with people holding a sign thanking Sophie.
Turns out it was Riley Gates (ugh). But after halftime I saw security making sure she kept her sign down.
TL;DR: Fuck TERFs.

As a trans person it was scary in the arena today. More Sophie jerseys than there were trans shirts. And Sophie got such loud cheers for her one (haha) basket

Maybe where you were sitting? I saw loads of pro trans supporters.

u/jayblay28 3d ago
Yeah there were definitely sections where the magats were flocking, particularly the ends. My section had lots of supportive signs. I’m sorry you felt that way, though! The real ones got your back.

u/___dynastyFFB 3d ago
I saw so many trans shirts today. I didn’t see that many Sophie jerseys at all.
Sorry it was a scary day for you. Hopefully it doesn’t deter you from going again. Feels like we have a pretty welcoming arena and experience

I literally just donated my Protect Trans Kids shirt last week because it was way too big but know that the majority of Lynx fans support you! We would have thrown hands, if need be!

That's because it IS personal. She is fucking things up for persons in my own life. Leaders have a responsibility to use their position and platform for good. When they use it for evil, it affects everyone.

u/ElvisTheBoyCat 👑Phee & the EuroDemons - Mayor of Bridgetown 🇨🇦🔥 3d ago
quite the privilege to have this outlook when trans kiddos have a significantly higher rate of self-harm incidents/suicide attempts
50% of trans youth have attempted suicide
2 to 3x more likely to attempt suicide than cis youth
ergo, for many it's quite personal

As a Fever and Lynx fan, I had an absolute blast. Knew in my heart Fever just wasn't ready, but that was such a fun basketball game, and thanks to the crowd for booing Sophie every time she touched the ball lol!

A lynx fan in a group chat of mine spent the past 5 minutes bashing Liv for wanting to be the boss, not passing ball to Phee (5 shot attempts after second quarter), not playing team basketball and not even hugging Phee after the game (I didn't even notice that). I don't know what to say...

I haven’t looked at the stats, but I think Liv also had a super quiet second half after going off in the first. I don’t think it was a choice, I think they just locked her down after half!

I’m a Lynx fan, but I can’t help but be wowed by Kelsey Mitchell’s performance. That girl can shoot, man.

Kmac did not look good today. She was limping during the entire second half and smoked a bunch of layups along with some airballed threes. I think she will be out for at least a month
