00:00in the WNBA at the midway point offers us right now one team that has already been able to reach

00:08the 20 win mark and that would be the Minnesota Lynx you look at the WNBA standings and

00:13the 20 wins for Minnesota jumps out but it's also the 500 record for Vegas which is the same record

00:21as the Mystics coaches talked about it the fact that Golden State has already been able to get

00:27through their win total a surge from Phoenix despite some injuries where Alyssa Thomas has found

00:35herself a part of the MVP conversation a team in Atlanta who I remember coach was really high on

00:42entering into this season has made good on some of that hype sitting right now with the fifth best

00:48record in the WNBA there are a number of things JY that jump off of the page but I do think

00:57think the 20 wins for Minnesota who last year narrowly lose in that championship game

01:05to the Liberty game number five questionable call I'm sure Lynx fans will remember forever

01:11it's a Lynx team that has Nafisha Collier playing at that MVP level right now is over minus 500

01:19to win that award how do you feel about the Lynx still not favored to win the title this year still

01:27child of Liberty as they sit at 20 and 4 at the midway point oh they've had a fantastic start but

01:34they've also had one of the easier schedules in the WNBA to start the season and I'm going to say

01:40this right now you'll probably hear me say this multiple times I am looking at the number four that is

01:45the number of times that the Liberty and the Lynx will play this second half of the year which is

01:50stunning that they did not play at all this early in the year so that is a big storyline that we're

01:55going to look at for a Minnesota Lynx team that's been the best team in the WNBA they've also been

02:01extremely healthy they've had luck on their side but you can't discount the fact that right now

02:07big fish is the best player in the WNBA she is running away with the MVP award why is that

02:14Caitlin Clark injured Asia Wilson not playing at Asia Wilson level but it's more about the fact about

02:19what's around her has been an issue Liberty have been after getting off I think to a 9-0 start

02:25has really faded back since John Quill Jones got hurt although they've won their last four or so games

02:30going into the break so to me you know fish is almost like the MVP because everyone else has like

02:36gone down in some way shape or form but to me the reason why the New York Liberty still maintain

02:41themselves as the best team in the WNBA regards to the championship odds is if they get John Quill

02:48Jones back you could argue that three they have three in the top 10 by the way shout out to ESPN for

02:54a great job with your top 20 rankings that was an absolute disgrace and I want people to put your names

03:00on the damn article because y'all look clueless but anyway John Quill Jones to me is a top 10

03:05player and you gotta also mention on Leona Feebich didn't miss time as well in the first half she

03:10kind of came on strong at the break so because of the fact of the Liberty have the third easy

03:15schedule the rest of the way the fact that they're gonna get John Quill Jones back back that they've

03:20won four games or go leading to the break is why you still see the Liberty right now Kevin as a

03:25favorite to win the WNBA title
