This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I'm watching intently, as well by Orangutan

Everything I am reading from Lynx fans and writers is that Shepard is going to make it, even after Minnesota traded for Stephanie Talbot and Alaina Coates today.

Bri and Marina are truly on the bubble. It sounds like LA will keep 2 of this four: Marina, Karlie Samuelson, Ashley Walker, Sydney Wiese. Marina had a really good final preseason game, so hopefully that earned her a spot.

Regarding Bri, it would be unusual for a 1st round pick to get cut but Phoenix has an unusual roster situation. They may only be able to afford 11 players due to cap considerations.

I'm still optimistic she makes it, but it's definitely uncertain.
