Not a good game by any standard. We were outscored in every single quarter. Yuck. At least Kara had a great game. Nice game from DeMya too, but the free throws have got to get better. I don't think it's ever a good sign when Yo scores her first points in the 3rd quarter.
Damn... swept by...
It's all about popularity.
Sue Bird's pass wasn't even the best in the bunch for her group. The Teasley pass was waaaay better. There is no way in hell that the Sue Bird pass was the greatest moment of the WNBA... who even remembers her making that pass? Unlike the other moments...
Man, that was a fun/frustrating game to be at! The officiating was insane! But consistent I guess. They missed calls at both ends. The most obvious one came in regulation though, when the Mystics were still down 4. I don't know if you guys could see it though since most of you sit at the...
The race is between Cooper and Edna. A tight race and a tough choice. I voted for Edna because I was there that night, and it's definitely a night that I won't forget. But both moments are completely deserving. That Coop one is a heartbreaker.
Right now Edna has the slight edge.
Great game tonight, a great first game for the lil man to come to. Big thanks to NBH for giving him the Monarchs necklace, he barely let it go the rest of the night! He was still playing with it when we got home tonight.
Glad to see the team keep their composure through that first half when we...
Yeah, sorry to disappoint on the mojo. Maybe it's combined mojo and we were just missing the MBF... cause ya know... when NBH and I were chatting, the Monarchs started making their comeback from the dead. Joey B's seemed like a nice spot though, other than the fact that they didn't have what I...
Hmm.... well, my plans that I previously had for that night have been cancelled. It's a possibility. The time of the game sucks though. FOUR?! Can't Connecticut just stay up late? This would be so much easier if I still worked downtown on Capitol Mall... but I'm in Roseville now. I want to go...
I don't think it's good for the W to move the Storm out of Seattle. Seattle has a loyal and strong fanbase which is something that this league desperately needs. I don't know anything about Oklahoma City, so I don't know how well a W team would do there... but the Storm is a team that should...
Aside from that pathetic first quarter... it really was a great effort by the team. That's the kind of box score we need if we're going to survive the tough road trip ahead of us. Very balanced. Great effort from Brunson, Maiga-Ba, and Haynie today. Walker had a good game too. Who would...
Ok, more info from my friends concerning The Park:
When they went there, they had dinner at the restaurant and then were able to get into The Park without paying cover. They said that once you are in the building, you're in. They just had to wait at the bar in the lounge for awhile before the...
Wow, congrats to Yo!
But, I must say....this is the one year where I thought Lisa clearly deserved to be the starter for the West. Nobody is playing like her. Except maybe Cheryl Ford (also snubbed from the starters list). But the anti-Lisa contingent is strong, it'll just fuel her fire to...
I've heard little things about The Park from my friends. Supposed to be a nice place. There's a $20 - $25 cover charge to get in, with a strict dress code.
So what do we know about this launch party, and/or how can we find out?
Cause I'd like to go... but I don't know if I would want to go...
Dangit! I still haven't been able to make one of these viewing parties.. and this Sunday won't be any different! One of these days I will make it to a road game viewing party. I could be the mojo that is missing ;)
I know... I meant beyond that. That's only a two person list, I'm greedy and want more.
I would have liked to see this:
1. Lisa Leslie - 5,040
2. Tina Thompson - 4,126
3. Sheryl Swoopes - 4,066
4. Katie Smith - 3,890
5. Chamique Holdsclaw - 3,636
I agree with that.
I don't even really have that much hatred for LLL anymore, don't ask me why. I just still find it amusing that Meyers can't complete a game without bringing up Lisa, no matter who is playing. She even had to bring up the "you know, Lisa Leslie sat out the whole fourth...
That was just their total points for their professional bball careers, right? Which is why Leslie is the first player to record 5,000 points in the WNBA. While Smith was the first player to record 5,000 points as a professional basketball player. Her 5,000 includes her ABL numbers. Yo's...
Well, one thing is for sure... they ARE consistent! They don't want to shoot the damn ball. I think I saw that Nicole and Kara combined for 11 shots, and each made one. These are our shooters! At least Ticha was mixing it up in there, she was our most aggressive shooter tonight. Her shot...
"I can't hear youuuuu!"
Loved the effort from Ticha tonight! She brought it on both ends of the floor and really helped get the team over the hump in that fourth quarter. And I think it's perfectly fitting that Bird was on the embarrassing end of the matchup tonight (as per the usual), but...
