I haven't looked at the score yet, but I will say this
OVJ, if you’re reading this, I want you to know that there were iffy calls going both ways. In other words, Game 1 was a typical WNBA playoff game.
Also, it’s only going to get worse as we move to Phoenix. You’re up against the team with the best road record in the league, and in Game 1 we forced you to play our style of basketball. You call it ugly, we call it defense. It may not make the crowd oooh and aaahhh, but it’s more effective than trying to outscore opponents. It’s a thing of brilliance. But Phoenix teams and fans (both the Suns and the Mercury) never appreciate it.
Now let me check the score…
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
Ah ha ha ha
Silly me. I live on mountain time, not pacific time. The game starts at 1:00. I didn’t miss anything.
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
That explains why there's no comments
Oh well, in the meantime I can watch Amanda Bynes play soccer and masquerade as a boy.
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
I was watching that too!!
HA
Jessica Lantz - September 5, 2010
What's the name of the movie?
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
Yeah - your first comment had me confused....
But glad to see that Storm fan passion
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
I expect Phoenix to lead early
They HAVE to get take the crowd’s energy and get off to a good start. But as the game goes on, Seattle will make their own run and the game will settle into a battle of will.
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
A battle of will that we will win, of course!
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
Howdy all
won’t be commenting too much during the game but good luck to the Storm fans. Can’t hate on how much you support your team.
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
Hi Seth!!
Good luck today!! Hope the game is a goodie :)
Jessica Lantz - September 5, 2010
Good luck to you too!
Hope you lose! LOL
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
Phoenix coach: "We have to rebound, we have to attack, and we have to go get it"
And that’s pretty much it! LOL At least it’s better than “Come on guys, let’s play harder”
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
Sue Bird going high for the dreb!!
Damn…
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
Taurasi
with the eff-you three to start. Anyone surprised?
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
NOPE.
Jessica Lantz - September 5, 2010
Not at all.
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
Looks like we're going to try to beat you at your own game
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
This is already a really different game...
Made layups!
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
I've been at those 3-point clinics for Phoenix
If today is one of those, then Seattle might have some difficulties…
Jessica Lantz - September 5, 2010
Wow
that was a sweet new play from the Merc w/ those double screens switching back to get Dupree rolling. Gonna want to watch that again in slo-mo
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
Swin Cash...
is back…
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
THAT WAS HORSE SHIT
WHERE’S THE FOUL?
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
You wanna talk about being targeted?
The refs aren’t doing Tanisha Wright any favors.
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
Merc have to be happy w/
pace of the game but I have no idea why Johnson would go under screens w/ Sue Bird handling the ball
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
God
What about some defense out here guys? This is not our game!
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
You're right
Storm are getting caught up…
But the Merc are bailing them out with missed 3s
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
Taurasi is throwing daggers right now...
But the Storm are getting back and set defensively
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
Good to see Seattle fans in the crowd
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
Storm trying to
slow tempo on offensive end by working ball more…which of course is what they do. Smart though to see them not get sucked into shooting quick
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
Hey guys,
Do you know how to keep a hand in the face of a shooter?
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
Look at Taurasi go
What an oaf
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
Not liking all
this zone from Phx
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
Braxton is like...
Christmas in July? Ummm… srsly? She’s not quite that cool. I wouldn’t bring her any gold, frankincense and myyrh…
Jessica Lantz - September 5, 2010
Taurasi
regrets giving the ball up to Meek on that FB…credit DB w/ the defense forcing the extra pass. She looks much better so far
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
that was a horribly executed 4 on 1 break just there....
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
That
was bullshit
You don’t deserve to be on the floor if you let yourself get bullied to all the way to the backcourt.
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
Taylor missing FTs
hmmm
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
Much better game
great to see both teams represent on National TV
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
Agreed!!
I always get nervous on national tv games…want the teams and the league to put their best foot forward to the general public. So far, so good!
Jessica Lantz - September 5, 2010
There was no way they would have two terrible games in a row...
From both teams…
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
Ha!
This is soft basketball.
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
All right, Abraslanova
you redeemed yourself for that last possession
How are ONLY down 2?
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
How are we trailing by ONLY 2?
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
Birdy has an interesting shooting motion
Mostly effective, but different.
RP_45 - September 5, 2010
Taurasi-Bonner-Taylor-Dupree-Smith (or Braxton)
Surprised that we aren’t seeing that lineup more.
RP_45 - September 5, 2010
Me too...
Hardly saw it at all in Game 1…
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
At the moment...
Every single player on both teams is playing better….
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
Sue Bird with another big dreb!
She’s not trying to come back to Seattle for game 3
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
She always seems to clean the glass against Phoenix
RP_45 - September 5, 2010
Close to six rebounds per game during the regular season against Phoenix
RP_45 - September 5, 2010
Don't have the numbers...
But I believe a lot of those were on longer boards, not her going to the glass so aggressively…
That’s what’s striking to me – she’s usually averse to being in the paint.
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
2 straight threes
You call this great Phoenix basketball?
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
how have we only gone to the line 3 times so far?
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
Merc certainly
getting home whistles
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
Merc Adjustment
Braxton isn’t covering LJ out of the perimeter, letting a smaller player do that
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
Sue Bird is not having a good series
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
Penny just doesn't look right
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
Jesus Christ
You’re bigger and stronger than these guys. Stop letting them back you into a corner
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
Stop whining, Diana
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
Bullshit
You miss a wide open 3
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
Storm are sagging
off Temeka preventing the open pass to Dupree so she’s being aggressive and effective w/ that pull up J in the lane…she has to hit that shot to open up things later for Candice
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
Storm are sagging all right
I’ve never seen Sue Bird look so decomposed.
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
Defensively?
Just watch more closely then…and start with their last home game against the Lynx…
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
She has trouble with the speedsters
RP_45 - September 5, 2010
And against the Lynx
it was Whalen’s physical play.
Not uncommon at all.
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
LeCoe
has good position but loses rebound to a guard…somethings never change
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
In fairness though...
She’s been much better as a rebounder this year as she has focused on scoring less…
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
those short
arms and lack of lift in the legs are always going to be a problem….not much she can do about that
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
From where I sit LeCoe appears to have long arms.
ttdomi - September 6, 2010
A possessed Dee
doesn’t bode well for Seattle. WOW
Jessica Lantz - September 5, 2010
those are WIDE open shots
Anyone can make those. Anyone except Sue Bird, that is
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
Anyone can make threes 3-4 feet behind the 3 pt line?
I beg to differ.
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
Absolutely unbelievable...
Thing is, the shots aren’t a whole lot different…she’s hitting ridiculous shots…
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
anyone gonna guard her at all tdoay? Hmm…I’m wondering.
Jessica Lantz - September 5, 2010
to be fair
Mercury are executing their offense and creating open looks off penetration…
Storm defense is designed to help and Merc taking advantage. When you have a lot of weapons on the floor that’s going to happen
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
Exactly.
I see more than anything we’re seeing how difficult this team is to guard when they execute in the half court.
The Sparks did something similar (when they were successful) — make the Storm work for 24 seconds and don’t lose your cool as they rotate. Good execution can beat this defense.
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
Good offense
always beats good defense in basketball but it’s easier to get less talented players to play good defense than play good offense…
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
Good time out
Storm are all kinds of flustered right now and DT heating up…interesting that Agler is sending a double team on Braxton and not trusting LJ to single cover her. Must be trying to keep her out of foul trouble.
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
On TV he just said he didn't want to let her put the ball on the floor...
So it sounds like someone just isn’t doing something…
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
Now we're trying to catch up with the 3
That is not going to work
What has happened to our inside game. We’re making Phoenix look competent on defense.
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
The interesting difference between this big lead and the 18 point one in Seattle
It’s not the Mercury just racing up and down the floor getting fb layups… it’s the Mercury actually executing and hitting in half court sets, even if that includes an array of Taurasi shots…
Harder to come back from that….
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
5-0 run by shooting layups
About time
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
I am fucking sick of "California Gurls"
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
So swearing's not allowed on Swish Appeal?
Sigh……………………….
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
there's a limit
and certainly swearing “at” people is not
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
sorry
i didn’t mean it to be directed at any of you…
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
Wow, great job by
Storm to fight back at the end of the half
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
Ca$h still has plenty of athleticism
RP_45 - September 5, 2010
I am really losing it
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
Whadya lose? lol
Jessica Lantz - September 5, 2010
i mean i'm going completely insane
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
Awesome. Enjoy that. I hear insanity can be an … interesting … state of mind.
Jessica Lantz - September 5, 2010
it's not
you lose your humanity, and everyone turns against you
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
First five minutes of the 2nd half
are key…if Merc can extend lead they should close out the game…if Storm continue run and retake lead then we are in for a dog fight
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
How big?
Of a lead do you think is necessary for the Merc to feel ‘safe(er)’?
Jessica Lantz - September 5, 2010
10 or 12 should do it
based on how the teams are playing so far
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
blehhhh.............
I don’t….want to hear….“eyes on me” anymore……………
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
Nobody has mentioned it much...
But how about the play of Meek today?
Wow.. she’s having a MUCH better game….
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
lol
I was just writing that line in my head for the recap :)
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
well
that was a big foul to call on LJ there. Her 4th. They felt bad to they called the same thing on Smith. Merc will take that trade
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
4th foul on LJ
That could be a negative. How long will Agler keep her in…hmmm
Jessica Lantz - September 5, 2010
until she has 6
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
he has no choice
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
and I wonder if Gaines will be going straight at her now
sometimes a fixation with fouling a player out can be damaging…
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
usually he won't
do that….doesn’t like to adjust his game plan for things like that
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
The way they're playing right now...
That’s a good move….
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
god....
why…are the storm….letting themselves get backed into the sidelines….
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
Wow
there’s Penny Taylor! Tough Ausie
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
Yeah - I thought last game wasn't her style of play...
Much more hardnosed play going to the rim today.
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
but she's still
not aggressive as she’s been and certainly not converted as many…been huge for Meek to step up with Penny not playing “well”
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
Definitely.
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
OK...now this is looking more like the first half at KeyArena
Transition to Dupree and good D
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
If we don't get this to single digits by the time the 4th quarter starts...
we’re cooked.
This is embarrassing.
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
Agler:
“we can’t be stagnant” – no kidding, coach. Make those ladies listen to you.
Jessica Lantz - September 5, 2010
Jackson out
Merc need to extend lead
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
That's ridiculous...
There is nothing you can do about a shot like that defensively…
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
Short of double-teaming her to deny the ball
Which is just a lost cause …wow…
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
And of course Sue Bird doesn't answer
of course
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
she still
needs to shoot more…she can get a shot on Johnson any time
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
not today
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
Not her style.
And that’s both a positive and negative with her – she remains poised and stays within the game plan….
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
see
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
Game Ova...
DT has the hate going.. Its on to the next game
112575 - September 5, 2010
no
not yet
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
Seattle awakening..
And if LJ can come back in and avoid fouling.. .they might be in good position
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
Couple of good
defensive possessions by Jana…the steal there and great rotation to block Kara’s shot
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
And a nice oreb there too...
She’s been a very solid player….
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
LeCoe
can not guard Braxton…Merc will abuse that match up every time down the court
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
I was just going to type that ....
The Braxton trade is not going to determine this series, but it gives the Merc a great look with LJ in foul trouble…
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
of course
the Storm did a great job bringing the help as well and limited the damage
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
sue for 3
she rises from the dead
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
Ok I'm sold
sign me up for the Jana Vesala fan club
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
Uh yeah...
She’s really good… the Storm just had no reason to play her when they were 22-2 :)
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
Hey Seattle Chicken Littles...
You still up and squacking? 10 point game, way different than 16…they’re not gonna just give up and die…
Jessica Lantz - September 5, 2010
Good hard playoff foul
Nothing to see here.. move along…
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
In fact on replay...
Le’coe got a lot of ball with all that body…
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
Wow
nice foul from LeCoe…nothing dirty there and those two are great friends
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
well, that was worth it
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
not
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
now she can't play anymore
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
Gaines looking like
he’s getting ready to punch someone. Damn guy, calm down…
Jessica Lantz - September 5, 2010
Uhh Q...
you know there is a double standard for mens and womens games (in reference to your hard playoff foul) :)
112575 - September 5, 2010
what?
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
Right on to the real and death to the haters (and their double standards) ;)
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
Something interesting that I think people forget about Seattle...
They’ve stayed in this game — without LJ — with transition points….
They can run…
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
Well..
Phoenix taking a page out of the LA Sparks playbook with all the damn unforced turnovers helped with that a tad…
112575 - September 5, 2010
You rooting for anyone?
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
Sure am...
I root for all UCONN players so either way Im good haha.. Honestly just like good games but if I had to be selfish I’d rather phoenix win so it wont cost me as much to get to the finals because I know Q will forget to get me from the airport if I have to head to Seattle…
112575 - September 5, 2010
lol
Can’t we all get along brotha?
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
Ok
looks pretty good for Phx…got a bit out of sorts there with Braxton on the floor too long getting tired. Fairly confident about good Phx 4th qtr.
But of course, the Merc didn’t take advantage of Jackson and Bird resting either
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
I wonder how long Agler will leave LJ on the bench given that the Storm played the best all afternoon with her there...
He normally sticks with what’s working…just can’t recall a time when that was without LJ
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
as long as he doesn't panic
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
I don't know about this
I mean we certainly can win…if we play well consistently. But we haven’t. We’ve only shown brief flashes of brilliance for a few minutes each quarter.
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
Merc shooting
53% in this game
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
I have to commend your team for that
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
That ball movement is geting them much better shots...
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
Temeka Johnson
playoff high in points and assists – 15/9
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
There's a difference I didn't necessarily expect
Credit Gaines for having such faith in her when the bigger lineup has worked so well
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
Turnovers in this game...
As Gaines said, it was a problem in the third… with the Merc having a tov% of around 30%….
The thing is, the Storm have stayed in the 20s in turnover percentage and they’re not going to beat a team playing this well like that… not they’re style…
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
Credit 112575 for noticing this before I sifted throug the numbers...
I’m slow…
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
yipee
we’re shooting free throws the rest of the way
but we suck at shooting free throws
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
What do you think Seattle is good at man? lol
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
nothing today
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
Offensive rebounding is solid today... much better in fact...
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
yeah, but we aren't getting points off of rebounds
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
lol
I am sitting right next to the Storm broadcasters…they are pretty funny
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
Adia and Dick?
Panicking? Sky is falling? The championship dream is on the brink of falling apart? :)
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
yup
that’s them….slamming fists on the table on every Storm foul
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
Kindly remind them of the ft advantage in game one...
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
and 20-19 so far in this game..gotta love the homer calls (which isn’t to say they are the only ones that do that of course)
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
finally
we can’t miss threes every time
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
Storm
attacking of the dribble much more and getting to the line…smart
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
i was going to be so angry if that was a loose ball foul against us
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
DT says eff u very much
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
Oh my lord...
If anyone claims that DT was left open please direct them to that last shot…
That’s insane….
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
that’s a two pointer…her foot was on the line…
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
Both teams hating
on the refs…that’s a sign of a well-called game :)
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
Merc big lineup time
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
Seattle
gets to a LOT of 50/50 balls…love the hustle
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
time...is...beginning...to run out...
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
lol at DT3
sick
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
all right
this is just not our day
this is not going to happen in Seattle
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
Right..
Really that’s all that can be said…
But I’m still not counting Phx out… if they play this well anything can happen….
They have nothing to lose – Seattle is the team chasing history this year…
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
Wow...
That’s just unbelievable… just throwing the ball into the basket…
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
You know
the Merc really annoy me w/ these fouls….slap down at the ball and then complain about the call. Keep your hands up!
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
Bad turnover
but smart foul by Penny…
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
smart foul?
Seattle’s better off shooting free throws than trying to create their own shot.
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
not with the clock
in the Merc favor…oh I get it, bagging on Seattle poor FT % – 66.7%
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
Well, there's still a lot that can happen
But Seattle’s not going to win by shooting 3s
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
basket will count and a foul
we can still win this
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
we don't need to shoot 3s
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
wow
1 pt game? wow
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
Stop. The. Presses...
Seattle is right back in it.. wow…
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
lol at this game
incredible
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
Oh. My. Gawd!!! Tie game!!
#expectgreat is legit for today….awesome game.
Jessica Lantz - September 5, 2010
17 point deficit gone...
And you know what’s weirdest? I’m very calm right now. I thought I’d be jumping up and down and screaming, but I’m not. Maybe it’s because I never thought it was over (well, except for that one comment I made)
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
one comment?
I count a few more than that..
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
That was the only time I truly thought we were not going to win. I swear.
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
Bird with the stop
lol….insane
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
phoenix comes up empty again
we can win it with the final shot here.
Again, I’m really chill right now. I don’t know why. Maybe because this is giving me flashbacks to Portland VS Detroit game 5 of 1990, when Portland lost a 7 point lead with 2 minutes left.
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
Here's my take
A couple of calls went the Storm way the Mercury let it into their head
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
you just have to laugh
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
what
balls to go for a three there and not a two
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
I'm speechless...
Nate Parham - September 5, 2010
this game needs OT
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
Ah..............
Sue Bird for 3.
How fitting. After looking like compost the whole game.
This is nothing short of beautiful.
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
SUE BIRD!!!
Holy $%(#!!!!!!
Jessica Lantz - September 5, 2010
This is going to be an instant classic
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
Great win for Seattle
can’t give them enough props for that….good luck in the Finals. They deserve it.
Seth Pollack - September 5, 2010
I'm sorry Seth
Phoenix did so many things right…they deserved to win this game.
WaveOcean - September 5, 2010
And just like that,
poof, the series is over.

Sue Bird, I apologize for all the things I said about you
You’ve done more than redeem yourself. I am so proud of you.

Congratulations to the Mercury on a game for the ages
You guys were right. This is much better basketball. Playing scrappy doesn’t always work, and the Mercury deserve a lot of credit for giving us all we could handle. They made clutch play after clutch play to keep us at arm’s length, and we had to play with a lot of perseverance to weather the barrage. But as Rick Fox said, success is a long journey. When you face adversity, you have to grow through your mistakes and failures in order to overcome whatever is keeping you back.
Also, I want to apologize to everyone who had to put up with my insane rambling today. That warning I received was just what I needed. I sure am going to miss jousting with the Phoenix fans the rest of the way. OVJ, if you’re reading this, I wish you could have been here today, and Seth, I hope you’re willing to watch the rest of the playoffs. Your team played an incredible game today, and I don’t want you to get down on yourself.

"The Little Bird"! (and all the other brilliant athletes we witnessed today)
“Oh, my goodness!!!” as Dick Fain would holler. He must be floating on the ceiling even as I type.
The friend I was raving at earlier this week (the one who watched her first ever W game last Thursday) gave it another shot today, and just e-mailed me about “The Little Bird” and her amazing three-pointer. Now she’s looking forward to the finals.
(But will the W pay me a finder’s fee?).
Whew. That was wonderful. I was almost hoping Phoenix would win so we could watch them go head-to-head in Seattle again, both teams at full power.
