If you're not watching the Monarchs-Sparks right now, you're missing some of the best basketball I've seen in a very long time!!!

ESPN2 - right now. Sacramento leading 23-13 as the first quarter winds to a close.
 
The Monarchs are getting pummeled with some really rough play but are standing strong. Lisa Leslie set the tone by a hard hit on Yo at the beginning, but Yo wasn't taken out of her game. The Monarchs look like they are truly the repeating WNBA champions.

GO MONARCHS!!!!!
 
Rebounding! Defense! Intensity!!! Steals. They are really into the Sparks' heads...

And I LOVE IT!!!
 
What up with the coach tellin the Ref she can't walk away? In NBA Refs walk away from the coaches all the time!

Geez, no Monarch is even in double figures. I just love when any Sacramento team is throttling an LA team this badly.

I hope they just went into the locker room with the mentality that the score is 0-0, and just get the game over and done with and get out of there.
 
Today's safety hints:

If you have a wood or paper fire, spray water on it.
If you have a grease fire, smother it.
If you have an electrical fire, turn off the source and smother it.
If you have a smoldering campfire, cover it with dirt.

If you have Sparks, put them in a Pond.

Woo hoo! At the half, Monarchs 45 - Sparks 21!

WOW! nice Avatar. Is that you between Peja and Vlade?
 
I loved the first half. The Monarchs simply dominated the game and the Sparks didn't show up. The Sparks are showing some signs of life now but hopefully it will be too little, too late. Go Monarchs!
 
The Sparks have a reputation for coming out strong after the half and really playing hard for the third quarter. They did, and the Monarchs weathered it.

I firmly believe Yo's will is NOT going to let the Monarchs lose!
 
Monarchs better show up strong in the 4th. That was an awful 3rd quarter. I will be so pi**ed if they blow this game.

GO MONARCHS!!!
 
I have faith. They faced a very determined Sparks crew and they're still holding a 15-point lead.

GO MONARCHS!!!
 
Now this is more like it! Focus and intensity is back.

EDIT: I'm just a pessimist, VF. I always want to be wrong, tho. ;)
 
I know, kenna. And I'm going to be the eternal optimist. :)

63-41 Monarchs with 6:40 left
 
The only thing better than seeing Kobe lose? Is seeing Lisa Leslie and Jellybean Bryant lose!

Thank you Monarchs!!!!!!
 
And for the random factor.. Sacramento Cam as the Monarchs close it out..
