Even when New York gets healthy and the free agent they beat the Lynx out for, forward Emma Meesseman, joins them, they will have to contend with a quintet on the floor that gets more cohesive by the minute. <\/p>\n
When Reeve replied that Meesseman, \u201cpicked the wrong team,\u201d when asked for her reaction to Meesseman choosing New York, the emphasis was on the word team.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are more experienced in being together, right?\u201d Reeve said, \u201cand more experienced of being in the space of being in the finals and being a contender and being, you know, in position to win a championship. And so when you come into the season, that\u2019s that felt different, right? So I think our lived experiences together, has made us more mature overall.\u201d<\/p>\n
The first day of camp, assistant coach Rebekkah Brunson and Lindsay Whalen -both with experience in winning championships and losing big games – spoke to them about moving on. And the Lynx moved on to the league\u2019s best record, and one loss at home.<\/p>\n
So beyond the stats, Napheesa Collier having an MVP season and three players landing in the All-Star Game, Reeve has seen her team continue on a development path.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd, we keep growing,\u201d she said. \u201cYou know, we certainly hope that there\u2019s more for us to, you know, evolve into. But I\u2019d say that\u2019s probably the biggest thing in terms of coming back after losing a finals.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Even when New York gets healthy and the free agent they beat the Lynx out for, forward Emma…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":106439,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[62,67,132,68,232],"class_list":{"0":"post-106438","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wnba","8":"tag-sports","9":"tag-united-states","10":"tag-unitedstates","11":"tag-us","12":"tag-wnba"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114945558208707232","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106438","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=106438"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106438\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/106439"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=106438"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=106438"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=106438"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
