Houston laying the Smacketh Down...
- Thread starter Mr. S£im Citrus
- Start date
Would have had a challenge either way, nobody was going to lay down and let the Monarchs march through the Western side of the bracket. LA made them think hard in this series too. They were going to have to make their way through teams who held 7 of the 8 titles this league has dished out. Nothing about that spells cake walk, especially given the hungriness that the WCF brings out.
I'm still not sure what exactly happened to Seattle, but it seems like Donovan was worried about how they would come out in game 3 and it appears that she had good reason to because they really didn't show up tonight.

Wow! I just got home and caught the score on the ticker. I never would have thought Houston (or anyone) would take two from Seattle at home. On one hand, I was looking forward to playing Seattle and avenging last year (and not having to travel so far). On the other hand, well, there is no other hand. Houston has talent and experience. It should be a good series. If the Monarchs pack their "A" game, they can hopefully steal one on the road.
Oh wait, I did think of an "on-the-other-hand" --- the Houston fans are nicer (than some of the Seattle fans).

Why did I think this series was still on game 2? Congrats Comets.....Oh, so sad Seattle. Couldn't have happened to a nicer group
In any case, I like the way we match up against Hou than we did vs. Sea (Plus that means I get to hear some more Van Chancelor interviews.
). The series will be good, no denying that. Two very formidable teams who are very well coached. Did a mention that I love playoff basketall?

I didn't watch the gamecast, but I just found out about it at a sports bar and noticed the horizontal-crawl score ticker on ESPN News, which indicated the Houston Comets beating Seattle handily. I don't recall the score, but it wasn't close.
My first impressions and reaction at the time were: "WHAT? Seattle won the first game in Houston, despite Seattle's bad road-game record. And then they lose two games in a row at their home court?"
Seattle is a very strong home court team, so I was pretty stunned about this. I had not yet heard about Swoopes game stats, since the score ticker just showed the score but not details.
Out of curiosity, does anyone know if this is the first time in a WNBA playoff series where the road team won every game?
