About

I'm a born-and-raised, diehard Minnesota sports fan! I'm often given a hard time for being a girl that's so in love with all things sports, but I can't help it. I grew up watching every Timberwolves and Vikings game with my dad, and I've also spent time working for the MN Timberwolves and Lynx. I graduated from Northwestern College (St. Paul) with a B.A. in Writing, and I am pursing a career in sports journalism. You can reach me at young.lindsey88@gmail.com.

    I am sure you are a good writer when you do research, but your win-loss predictions for the nba were an insult to my intelligence

    I like your writing style, but the content is terrible... Do some more research and you'll get better :)

    Good lord...please, for the sake of seeming relevant, do some research when writing articles related to the NBA, because the last one was terribly inaccurate.

    when predicting team win/loss records, try to at least make sure the total wins and losses are equal. like when a game is played, there is only one winner and one loser. wins just dont pop out from nowhere

    I don't want to say anything disrespectful since everyone makes mistakes. However, you really do have to do your research before writing your articles....

    please do your research. getting rid of mo williams and getting jamal crawford does not give the clippers 5-10 more wins. it is subtraction through addition. there is no way in hell they would get 61 wins. the hawks are a fringe playoff team if that by subtracting joe johnson, there is no way they are an elite team in the east. they weren't with johnson how can they be without him? and ryan hollins as a key loss?! what are you smoking? the dude got cut by the CAVS, and he wasn't getting any burn as it is, the addition of fab melo (a better version of Hollins) jared sullinger more than makes up for that loss. and really? no mention of ray allen's loss? and adding jason terry? and the lakers with the addition of steve nash and jamison makes them a top 3 team in the west easily and you pencil them for 50 wins? are you friggin kidding me? please do some research, watch a game of basketball sometime and do some analysis and thinking before writing articles. they are an insult to basketball and the intelligence of readers on this website.
