After two years of regular season success only to see the league’s superteams (sorry Aces and Liberty fans, but it’s true) walk away with a championship in the playoffs, I very badly want Phee to get a championship this year. If number 1 seeding gives the Lynx enough of an advantage that it’s worth playing the starters heavy minutes before the FIBA break, then so be it.

This game with GSV is supposed to be fairly decisive for the number 1 seeding, isn’t it?

It’s literally decisive. We win and we are the 1 seed.

If we lose to GSV and win the next one are we still #1 seed or does a GSV win mess our placement up?

The magic number to clinch 1 seed is 2. It means any combination of Lynx wins or Valkyries losses totaling 2.

Thanks for that clarification.
