Seattle Storm

[jod23]

Im a fan, simply because I want to support LJ and nail Sue Bird.

Currently 1-1 in the best of three first round playoff series against the defending champs, the Minnesota Lynx. Game 3 is tomorrow I think. Tall order for the Storm as the Lynx have too many options, Augustin is a bit ridiculous and Maya Moore is a very good second option.

They battled hard yesterday though to win in double OT at home to send the series to a decider in Minnesota. Jackson hasnt had a great series but did knock down a cold as ice three at the buzzer to keep Seattle's season alive. Hopefully she can break out of her mini slump and have a monster game 3.

Anybody else a fan?

Must've been looking at the 08 storm roster.

But yes, A fan just due to Lauren Jackson and Sue Bird. (would slay Penny Taylor given the chance also)

Sue Bird is to the right of Jackson


This is Penny Taylor (use google for noodz)

I love how we just went to which ones we would nail instead of talking about Storm's upcoming do or die Game 3.

Another entertaining game, Jackson had a stinker though.

And thus was the way of the basketball board.

Massive error by Seattle down by 1 and only call a timeout with 3.3 seconds to go. Pretty good game Sue Bird is a jet.

 

[jod23]

Yeah it was a huge error to wait so long to call a time out. Then the shot they get through LJ isnt the best. Jackson had a tough series. Apparently both her and Sue Bird were carrying injuries. Unlucky but because of the Olympics, Jackson barely played all season. If she plays a full season next year, they should go way better and not go in as the 4th seed.

 

[nufan]

Cracking effort by the Storm with Jackson missing injuries for all but 3 weeks of the season, clearly the best player in the game ever. C'mon Lisa Leslie, being allowed to set records before white women were allowed to play?!

How about Phoenix stealing the no 1 pick in the draft? They'll get Griner! One of the great tanking efforts of all time. So they could easily win the championship next season.

should this be the official wnba "expect great" thread?

Yeah they tanked hard... they have Penny Taylor and Taurasi. With Griner, they will win the championship next season.

Be interesting to see Griner though, 6'8. But so is Cambage.
