"We feel like true underdogs," center Lisa Leslie said. "And we've already played as terrible as we can play. So we hope we can find a way to play better, come together and play hard. Is this the best team ever? No, although it has improved as of late. And we feel good about that.

Stating the obvious



They feel like underdogs???

They are!!! But with their Improvement we need to bring our A game.
People say our roles are reversed, but the diference is that we have been pretty dominant against them all year. As oppose to last year when we were the only team that consistantly played them well.

It is the play-offs however; and anything can happen.

Also, keep in mind that the Sparks have actually fairly well since Joe Bryant took over as Coach. So, the Monarchs better not take this series too lightly.

Yes, the Sparks are 4-2 under Bryant, I believe? I'm not taking them lightly at all and I doubt the Monarchs are either.

I don't think any team or game can or should be taken lightly. While the Monarchs may have respect for LA's talent, they are no longer intimidated by it. I think that is the difference.
