Well, who will they play in the playoffs?

Right.

Uh, obviously, right now, there is a decision to be made.

It could be the Connecticut Sun, it could be the Minnesota Lynx.

Who do you feel like is a better match up for the fever?

I do lean towards Minnesota.

I think the way they were able to heat up against the Lynx from three, I think was impressive.

I don’t know, you know how well they’re gonna be able to handle Rihanna Jones and, you know, the length of Deanna Bonner.

But I think, I think one of the things to also point out about playing Minnesota is Caitlin Clark is well versed in playing in Minnesota at the target center.

They had so many fans there, even though it was Maya Moore’s retirement night, I think that will feel even more like a home crowd than playing other places they played where it plays like feels like a home crowd.

The fever also have a win over the links, but that was without Nafisa Collier.

So I think when you look at it, you know, both teams kind of evenly matched, I actually do think that the better first round matchup for the fever would be the sun.

I think through matchups, the way that each other plays the game, the styles.

I think that that would be a better first round opportunity than Minnesota links.

The links to me look too confident, too, in control and too mature at this point in the season.

You know, I’ve been very high on the Minnesota links, y’all.

We can’t talk enough about them.

I’m sorry, but I’m very high on them.
