Minnesota at Tulsa

The Minnesota Lynx have some serious talent and they are finally experienced enough to use it to turn the corner and become a viable competitor for a deep post-season run this year. The Detroit Shock moved the franchise to Tulsa, but left the entire roster behind as 10 new faces don a Tulsa uniform. That will make the early part of the season chaotic and disorganized. This club will be ripe for the taking early, especially vs. a competent offensive team like the Lynx. Nolan Richardson likes the up-tempo, frenetic style, but it will take his team awhile to get good at it. The problem is that plays right into the Lynx's strong suit, so I'll back Minnesota here.
