Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve blasts media after WNBA Commissioner's Cup win

Minnesota Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve has had it with people overlooking the team’s performance this season. After the Lynx’s WNBA Commissioner’s Cup win, she told a room full of media members that they had to write about the team now.

Minnesota is riding pretty high after beating the New York Liberty on Tuesday. The Commissioner’s Cup was a tremendous display of talent, and everyone from Breanna Stewart to tournament MVP Napheesa Collier was dropping buckets.

Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve took time postgame to let it be known that she isn’t too fond of what the media has (or hasn’t been) writing about the team. These are the comments she shared with those in the room:

“It was an incredible game, and what I’m proud of is we answered every run on the road, and that tells you everything about our basketball team…We have a level of toughness. I know that when we show up, people aren’t afraid of us, but our level of toughness, I’ll put up against anybody.”

“What does it mean to them? We want a championship…[Napheesa Collier] has dealt with, I think, marginalization, if you will, of our team at times where she’s going…’What do we have to do before you guys really start to believe in us?'”

“And, we don’t really care what you think except for right now…where we get to say to you, ‘You gotta talk about us’…We just beat a super team. Let’s talk about it.”

“Now you gotta talk about us”

Cheryl Reeve has high praise for the Minnesota Lynx and called Collier the MV-PHEE
