| I realize the Finals might be a little late to make with the realization, but man, Whiz waits forever to pull the starters in a blowout, doesn't he?

It's a wednesday. That's gotta hurt attendance.
The Shock got whooped in game one last time they were in the finals...
I can't see them being swept. |
Agreed about Wednesday. And the Palace is huge; it makes medium-sized crowds look small. The crowd was certainly into it at the beginning.
You're right about game one in 2003:

(Don't look at the final score-- look at the halftime score.)
But that was on the road, and the Shock were the underdogs. (Though I guess they're the underdogs now.)

Welcome to Café Sacramento tonight for dinner!
Let me tell you about the 3-course meal that we are featuring tonight.
Course #1 - Tonight you will dine on the used-to-be tough Houston Comets featuring a heavily sautéed and highly tenderized old ass team with a side of Mississippi mispronunciations. They used to be tough, but here at Cafe Sacramento, we have beaten them down with a tenderizer so that you will not be able to recognize them and served them up with a side of your-championships-were-so-long-ago-that-no-one-remembers sauce. You will be able to swallow this dish whole without ever noticing that you ate anything. However, this is a lovely start to your meal here at Café Sacramento. It will whet your appetite for the second course.
For your next Course - #2 - We will be serving the Los Angeles Sparks with an elbow-throwing, I-never-foul disappearing in the playoffs reduction sauce called LLL. This will be complimented by a side dish that is comprised of a Jelly Bean and a funky attitude. Again, you will hardly break a sweat consuming this course, but it will make you hungry for the final one.
The final Course - #3 – This course will last longer than the first two but it will be worth it. Your pallet will be splashed with a main dish consisting of a useless Amazing Woman coupled a Once MVP That Dismantled Lisa Leslie’s Hair in the 2003 Finals who was ineffective tonight. While this course is far from over, here at Café Sacramento, we are confident that when you will complete your meal on Saturday, September 9, that you will be extremely satisfied.
Thank you for choosing Café Sacramento!
Bon appetite!!!

Geez.
I couldn't even watch after the third quarter. And I've not seen Bill just sitting there with his head in his hand before.
Sac came so hungry for this win. I wish Detroit had that kind of intensity tonight. The other thing about Sac, besides amazing defense, is they really play like a team. I didn't expect such a pounding, though.
I hope Detroit can get it together and keep the Monarchs away from that trophy.

OK--first of all...Bill Davidson rolled by in a motorized wheelchair...then I turned in my seat to wave hi to my friends and saw Donna O., her family, and a contingency of people seated three rows behind me. I wanted so desparately to ask her to get number 39 ref off the floor and unofficiating the game. I understand now why I couldn't get my regular seat--the media took up three rows with tables and chairs and computers, etc. in that area.
After the game...I waited as my grandkid got an autograph from Angelina Williams...I got a 2006 WNBA Finals pin handed to me by one of the contingent that hung out with Donna. Neat!
Kristin Haynie had about 30 people who came out to the game to cheer her on from Mason, MI. She came out to greet them all with hugs and kisses after the game.
Oh, the game. Well, there's always Friday. Bill was really pissed at Swin. All the Shock players were frustrated. Frustrated to the nth degree. The guy next to me kept yelling for Bill to put Batteast into the game. Why? I asked. He said, "She's a real good 3-shooter." I said, "Once in a while she plop one in." He didn't talk to him much after that. I sure hope his last name wasn't Batteast.

| Sorry--I promise English is not my second language. The last paragraph in my previous post was messed. But, they are waiting for me to come and watch the DVR'd Project Runway.

| I dont like Swin and Cheryl's attitudes especially Swin she just didnt bring it tonight. Also Kara and Cheryl just sitting there after missing a layup or whatever has to stop get back on defense please. Kara stop just getting the ball and throwing it hoping they catch it, that doesn't work at this level especially against sacramento. Hmm... its going to be fun to see how they come back from this.

Maturity and good behavior are clearly not criteria for making the team. Take a look at the roster.

| I think I catch what you are saying, but except for MS (who is not on the team yet), none of the other players just give up and/or wrangle with the coaches the way CF seems to do.

| Everyone take a shot whenever Doris Burke says flat-out anything |
How 'bout when she says "Player Y is long and athletic"? Can we take shots next game for that Burke-ism? I'm going to the liquor store on Friday...  Grey Goose maybe?
As usual, I shy away from posting during games in which my team(s) is (are) involved. But damn...this one really wasn't close at any juncture beyond the first quarter.
Barney Rubble...what can I say? She can really yabba dabba DO IT UP out there!  She's come a long, long, looooooooong way since her early season difficulties. I, for one, am proud of K-Law. I did kinda get on her case good early on. 
And Haynie...HAYNIE...KRISTIN FRIGGIN HAYNIE came through! YES! What more can you ask for? "Hometown girl" makes triumphant return to Mich. and plays her ass off on a huge women's basketball stage. Kid, you done good by me. 
Oh what else? Well, for those who were wondering whether or not Enterline and Corteau reffed NCAA games, they do. I've seen them regularly reffing ACC games and yes, they still suck ass.
Last, but certainly not least, I'd like to congratulate the Monarchs on a job well done in Game 1! But it ain't over yet...so STAY HUNGRY!!!!!!!
