Quote of the Day: Richard Cohen
From his "This Week in the WNBA" column for week eight:
"Just to go back to the basic stats for a minute, the Minnesota Lynx are still producing some startlingly terrible team numbers. They have the worst field goal percentage of any team in the league, and it's not even close. 39.7% as a team is horrendous, considering the rest of the league is spread between 45.6% at the top (Phoenix and Washington) and 42.6% at the bottom (Tulsa). So that's 3% covering the entire league besides the Lynx, and a 2.9% drop from anyone before you reach Minnesota. Yikes. Just to compound things, Minnesota also gives up the highest opponents' shooting percentage in the league. And if the playoffs started today, this is your fourth seed in the Western Conference, ladies and gentlemen. This conference is so bad it makes me want to cry."
