Giving Out A Slice Of Credit


The Lynx have now played their first game without Lindsey Harding and the outcome was the same. Another Lynx loss, this time at the hands of the Houston Comets. Although the team’s record now drops to 5 wins and 16 losses on the season, the worst record in the WNBA, you have to be proud of the team for the fight that they gave today.

As I glanced at the box score to find out the outcome of the game, there were three numbers that really jumped out at me…

Noelle Quinn. 28:30 minutes. 9 assists. 2 turnovers.

Although I was not able to see this game, I imagine that this is the kind of performance the coaching staff was looking for from Quinn the entire season. One game does not make me forget that I do not believe that she will ultimately be a point guard in this league, but it does, at the least, shut me up until the next game.

As a person, I find Noelle Quinn to be quite delightful and charming. I honestly would love nothing more then for her to succeed in this league as a member of the Lynx. To this point, I have voiced my concerns from what I have witnessed with my own two eyes and now, with Lindsey Harding out for the remainder of the season, it is time for Quinn to prove her doubters—including myself—to be wrong.

Efforts such as she gave today do not go unnoticed and I give credit where it is due.

Good for her and keep it up, Noelle.
