if the Liberty win and bring it back home
and then win again… I get to go up and cover them for the Finals. I’m just saying.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
But what about petrel getting to see the Storm win the title?
I mean…getting to see his team in the Finals? ;)
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
I commented first
therefore I win.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
Powell is starting at center?
bizzarro world…
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
Maybe they just don't want rebounds at all?
Spread the court
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
not sure what that's about.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
aww shizz.
CoCo hits already.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
great. Cappie shoots a 3 to start?
HAVE I TAUGHT YOU NOTHING!?!?!
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
Again
They just want your attention
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
they have it
the idiots.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
oh come ON
handle the ball. HANDLE THE BALL.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
FFO's planning for next year
They must have told the players not to worry about this game. (%^&(&%^&
Queenie - September 7, 2010
LEILANI MITCHELLLLLLLLL
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
Cappie don't ever do that again
because it won’t go in twice
Queenie - September 7, 2010
thank you Cappie.
now make all the rest of them.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
There you go NY!
An offensive rebound all your own!
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
now lets find a little defense
and we’ll have a game!
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
Taj getting an offensive rebound
that’s a nice sign early on
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
It's ok Liberty
Defense is no big deal. It takes up energy anyway.
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
The boy is screaming about Taj's hair.
I think the ’rows work for her. BUT NOT BRINGING THE BALL UP CHRIST ON A STICK
Queenie - September 7, 2010
Nicole did something!
saints be praised!
Queenie - September 7, 2010
nice ball movement
nice, easy jumper from Taj
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
Taj!
Ageless.
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
These refs are quite enamored of jump balls
aren’t they?
Queenie - September 7, 2010
and there's another...
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
you know what?
I’m glad Plenette got blocked. she plays better when she’s furious.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
She looked furious Game 1
But not furious enough to stop them from rebounding…
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
#LetLeilaniLoose!
The refs are holding her down…. ;)
(Not really… slapping down at the ball is not the best thing to do)
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
I need a drink already.
Did Spencer just try to slap Nicole five? With an injured finger?
Queenie - September 7, 2010
CAPPIE
AND ONE. Love it.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
Cappie
Big drebound.
Straight line to the basket.
And 1.
The key to the game is not complicated.
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
see
you listen to me.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
Sorry I'm late!
WAZZZZZUP LJROTTER
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
hello
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
meeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrddddddddddeeeeeee
Spencer for Powell
Queenie - September 7, 2010
STOP THE BALL
oh, never mind, the Sloth versus the fastest player left in the playoffs
Queenie - September 7, 2010
I'd like to know in advance if a team just doesn't want to play defense...
Save me the time and stress…
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
EC17
nice job
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
how’s the elimination game coming?
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
I've been rooting for Carson her whole career
Great to have an athletic defender on the wing like that… but she’s gotta “stay within herself”, for as nebulous as that word seems…
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
oh, Lawd, let these refs learn to count
Before the boy pops a blood vessel screaming for travel calls
Queenie - September 7, 2010
are you a guy?
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
no she's not
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
huh
then who’s “the boy” she’s referring to?
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
Queenie takes offense
to the idea that she’s so egotistical she would refer to herself in the third person.
Queenie - September 7, 2010
no, but my boyfriend is
And we don’t watch the NBA, so we would appreciate if the W refs would stop using the NBA rulebook.
Queenie - September 7, 2010
nice
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
*sigh* Troooooooooollllll in the CoverItLive
Queenie - September 7, 2010
To heck with Cover It Live
It’s littered with hacks and drips boasting that no one cares about the WNBA.
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
KIA VAUGHN JESUS CHRIST CALM THE BLEEP DOWN
AND STOP HITTING PEOPLE YOU DO NOT PLAY FOOTBALL
Queenie - September 7, 2010
wow
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
uh oh
can’t let this get away
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
*neatly ties up Anne Donovan's ribbons*
because seriously, that look is so awful that Cappie missed the free throw.
Queenie - September 7, 2010
Where's petrel and pilight?
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
at the game, I presume?
unless you’re looking for specific seats?
Queenie - September 7, 2010
oh okay
i was wondering why they aren’t here
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
this is the ugliest game of basketball
ever.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
LIES
You never saw New York-Miami games. Those would make you BEG for Indiana.
Queenie - September 7, 2010
For you it is
26 points in one quarter isn’t ugly
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
You also apparently missed game 1 of last series
But I guess that wasn’t even basketball…so you’re correct.
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
I love watching Carson
she reminds me of Iverson and Josh Howard all rolled into one
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
minus the sexism, racism, and homophobia
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
Howard is a nice guy
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
he is
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
Plenette, learning curve, plz to acquire one
kplzthxbye
Queenie - September 7, 2010
this is Carson's quarter
keeping them alive
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
Oh man
In the Finals, I don’t think I want to see the Storm hit the road 1-1
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
you have posts
We have 39 years old, streaky defensive stopper, and Kia Vaughn.
Queenie - September 7, 2010
You also have Nicole, Carson and one Cappie Pondexter
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
If we're relying on Nicole Powell
we are so far up the creek that having a paddle wouldn’t help.
Queenie - September 7, 2010
WE GAVE UP A PUTBACK TO BASKETBALL BARBIE
SHAME. HUMILIATION AND SHAME.
Queenie - September 7, 2010
Who's basketball barbie?
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
Leuchanka
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
Leuchanka
Because she’s tall, blonde, and said stupid things about how the league needs to promote femininity in its players or something like that, because I stopped reading after the stupid tried to attack.
Queenie - September 7, 2010
that's pretty funny
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
How do you feel about the layup off a cut...?
smh
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
An 11 point game
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
WOW that was an acrobatic catch
way to go Carson!
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
look at barbie's masterful defense
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
Cappalicious
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
timing, Cappie has it!
We ain’t dead yet, motha- SHUT YO MOUTH
Queenie - September 7, 2010
Sneaky
I approve of this Carson lay-up.
Queenie - September 7, 2010
WOW EC17
with the offensive rebound and putback?? amazing!
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
See you know that offensive sequence
Proves that the problem here is not size but effort
NYL has had inconsistent effort all game
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
Now, if we could figure out what defense is
Because we can’t win if we keep losing.
Queenie - September 7, 2010
back to 11 again
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
Cappie "And1" Pondexter
she just has heart.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
Cappie is not playing around
She should be looking around like, “So are the rest of you gonna play too?”
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
she always does
did you see her yelling at them last game?
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
That's what we got her for.
I mean, she picked our city for its fashion, but we would appreciate if she would step the hell up.
Queenie - September 7, 2010
Carson on pull-up Js is NOT what you want...
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
Lisa, do you need a moment?
Queenie - September 7, 2010
what, for Cappie?
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
for that long closeup of Janel
in her plaid, working the gum and the hair and the glasses
Queenie - September 7, 2010
dammit
I was talking to my sister on AIM… STUPID SISTER.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
"working the gum"
lol
Lisa might need a few moments for that…
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
stop it guys
I’m lonely these days.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
that was an ill-advised shot
hand in face and everything
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
oooooo Cappie with a 3...
she’s now got 13 and NY is within 5.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
cut to 5
this is the closest it’s been all quarter
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
not true!!
it was 4-0 to start.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
reply fail.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
all quarter
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
oh right
I am not with it today. sorry folks.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
i know
your team’s season is flashing before your eyes…again
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
that and I've felt ill all day
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
New York has got to cut down on the turnovers and actually slow the tempo...
Atlanta defends in transition very well…. and thrives in pts off turnovers….
New York needs to take control of the game and find good shots these next few possessions…they’re in a hurry, not quick right now…
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
ok Coach
ready…. Liberty on three. one, two three… LIBERTY!
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
But you know...
If you’re not going to defend anyway, you’re always taking the ball of out the basket so it’s slow anyway…
So it’s just about execution…
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
"Hard to guard"
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
arrrrr
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
son of a...
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
How many WNBA fans would have believed anyone if someone had said
“Ali Bales and Coco Miller are the key contributors in a ECF game”
at the beginning of the season.. wow…
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
I love that Cappie.
LOVE her.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
I may need to not watch this game.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
How did this fall apart so quickly?
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
piss poor execution
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
OK..so during the regular season the Dream were no good from 3...
Now they are…
Defense is necessary.
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
we're gonna have to defend key arena like never before
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
I still think it's a favorable matchup for the Storm
Nobody can outboard the Storm like this…
And then they really struggle…
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
DEFENSE MOTHAF
DO YOU PLAY IT?
Queenie - September 7, 2010
oy.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
YEAH Lei
prevent that shit
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
NICOLE POWELL
wheee
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
See that rebound...
Poor effort – their defense is scattered and they’re not finding bodies quickly enough….
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
yeah
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
she just played that one up
good sell, Cappie :)
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
Just because our defense has given up
that doesn’t mean our commentators should
Queenie - September 7, 2010
LaChina: "she is being aggressive tonight"
uh, Cappie is never NOT aggressive.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
I gotta say...
And I know MVP is not based on post-season…
But right now, even when she’s the only one doing anything and the entire defense is focused on her… she’s got this game within 11…
That’s remarkable…
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
that was EXCELLENT passing
Pierson had no trouble getting that in.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
There you go Liberty...
Movement of the ball is good
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
And again we're seeing it:
This team is not impossible to defend.
It just helps for all 5 players to pick up a player…
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
New York must cut the score to at least 8
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
Nobody (except Cappie)
Should be taking more than 2 dribbles for the Liberty…
And everyone should be moving when they’re off the ball…
They’ve done that 2 consecutive possessions and it’s working
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
I actually wouldn't pressure Atlanta ball handlers...
Sag off… get the defense set.
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
And perfect - slow it down....
Find a good shot
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
there's a lot of yelling
and dropping of jaws on Atlanta
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
you know
making free throws would help a lot.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
Yeah - but you gotta like that they're getting to the line
They finished the quarter well
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
I agree
but when it comes down to close games, you look back on those easy points when the clock is stopped and smack yourself.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
not really
they haven’t cut into the lead
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
that doesn't mean they aren't playing better
it just means Atlanta is still playing extremely well
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
But they played even....
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
why wasn't that an offensive foul?
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
luck
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
Still down by 11
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
DO NOT HIT MAMA TAJ
MAMA SAID KNOCK YOU OUT, I’M GONNA KNOCK YOU OUT
Queenie - September 7, 2010
What NYL did in the 2nd qtr to play even:
(and it’s not rocket science)
They cut down on turnovers drastically (from 7 to 2)
They did better on the offensive boards, but Atl had an off reb % of 50%…
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
^^hugs^^
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
Like LaChina said....
a lot of this is just a matter of intensity and focus…
The Liberty played very well offensively there at the end with ball movement and a focus on their strengths: Cappie and Pondexter.
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
when LaChina says 'bench'
it sounds like bitch.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
there's my girl
JMac… I love you.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
Groupie...
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
I am the original.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
Rutgers is the key to this game...
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
Pierson, AND 1.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
there's no game clock or score
oop there it is.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
great recovery
Taj
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
NICE
this is what I’m talking about!! clean execution, good passes.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
Much better play here in the third quarter....
Really extending what they did well in first quarter well…
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
edit...
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
*second quarter
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
the momentum really has shifted
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
CAPPIE
CAPPPPPIIIEEEEEEE
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
CFP!
Queenie - September 7, 2010
took too many steps with the basketball
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
3 point game
This is the closest it’s been since the first quarter
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
one point game!!!!!!1!
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
my stream is delayed
gotta refresh this…
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
keep talking, Angel!
whiny brat.
Queenie - September 7, 2010
...and then NY promptly throws it away...
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
of course they do
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
There you go -
To the rim!
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
uh oh
how much jailtime should she get?
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
We keep wondering how Nicole Powell got into Stanford
She doesn’t come off as too bright on the floor. I’ve read her blog, and I understand that she’s an intelligent woman off the floor, but my God, how did VanDerveer not flip out at her?
Queenie - September 7, 2010
There have been some veiled comments made by Tara about players being hard to coach
during that period of Stanford basketball.
Scotter - September 7, 2010
HA
Cappie gets involved again. it wasn’t even her beef.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
not smart
without you on the floor cappie, your team has no chance
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
nah she was fine
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
Erika + Elbow + Taj = TECH, PEOPLE
Queenie - September 7, 2010
ok now T up Meadors
delay of game
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
I think Erika's losing her cool...
Queenie - September 7, 2010
GOD that fadeaway is gorgeous
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
Cappie is gonna have to go for 40 tonight...
For NY to even have a chance…
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
wouldn't count that out.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
hahahahahaha
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
Atlanta announcers are furious
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
wow, that was ridiculous.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
oh, Lawd, oh, Lawd, oh, Lawd
does anyone know what’s going on here?
Queenie - September 7, 2010
nope.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
Jesus chickenfried Christ.
#clockfail #reffail
Queenie - September 7, 2010
Donovan is monstrous.
I love how she towers.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
this going to hurt NY
they’ve lost their rhythm
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
alright Kia
give us a spark will ya
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
seriously
not what I was asking for.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
that's not a spark
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
nooooooooooooo
oh God there goes our last chance freakin’ Vaughn is in
Queenie - September 7, 2010
jacque vaughn
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
so you've forgotten that she's capable of incredible play already?
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
you mean like stupid offensive fouls and dropping rebounds
sure, I remember that, I’ve seen it for years
Queenie - September 7, 2010
all I'm saying is she's capable of good things
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
you're losing ground...
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
CALL IT ON THE OTHER END
next time McCoughtry comes flying into the lane
Queenie - September 7, 2010
dagger to the teeth...
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
i told you that stoppage of time would hurt NY
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
SPARE ME, ANGEL
JUST SPARE ME OKAY?
Queenie - September 7, 2010
LINE DON'T LIE
Queenie - September 7, 2010
De Souza just shoved her right out
and is flaberghasted.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
HIT YOUR FREE THROWS VAUGHN THEY ARE FREE
Queenie - September 7, 2010
I think NY has thrown away over 6 points in free throws
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
make that 7
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
I wonder how nervous petrel and pilight must be roght now
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
there we go Kia!
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
great defense by Kia
GREAT layin by EC, AND the foul. chance to tie!!!
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
NY has never led
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
thank you I've been watching too
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
NOW THEY LEAD
doubters.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
improbable
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
not really.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
well, call me a doubter
:)
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
I believe I already did
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
THREEEEEEEEEEEE POINT GOAL
CAAAAAAAAPPIEEEEEEEEE PONNNNNNNNDEXTERRRRRRR!
Queenie - September 7, 2010
all tied up
10 minutes from Game 3…or from being eliminated
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
*crosses self, crosses self, crosses self*
forehead, heart, right shoulder, left shoulder, forehead, heart, right shoulder, left shoulder, forehead, heart, right shoulder, left shoulder
Queenie - September 7, 2010
AHAHA
they showed that old lady dancing and mouthing the counts.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
i think all the wnba finals games should be on ABC
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
with neutral announcers.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
dominique...
watch what you say…
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
oh my Carson
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
your Carson?
Does Janel know? ;)
Queenie - September 7, 2010
there was supposed to be a comma there
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
We left Miller open
I thought that was just a Knick issue
Queenie - September 7, 2010
Taj drains the easy shot
see saw game
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
drive to the basket ladies
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
call a timeout
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
wow
WOW Cappie.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
truly unbelievable
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
she's just impossible to stop
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
ny not getting good shots
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
Uh. Possession?
i dun get it
Queenie - September 7, 2010
that was a lazy pass and an easy steal
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
ok now, Kia
make these shots!!
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
thank you!
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
Dominique was politely saying
What on earth are these refs doing?
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
and LaChina retardedly saying
you may be a hall of famer, but I’m gonna show you up.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
I hope Nique stays on for the remainder
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
no such luck
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
Carson is looking Cappie-like
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
Shhhh
She doesn’t have Cappie consistency
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
you guys are taking tough shots every time
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
KIA!!
offensive rebound and putback!!
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
PLAY DEFENSE PLEASE
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
if you fall behind by 7...
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
sinking feeling of impending doom
Queenie - September 7, 2010
Yeah...still time....
But the way they’re playing is not encouraging…
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
they would have to hold Atlanta to no more than 5 points from here on out
Do you see that happening?
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
by that i mean after the free throws
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
and they would have to score on every other possession
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
Awright, Plenette!
Stand your ground!
Queenie - September 7, 2010
Atlanta starting to frustrate themselves
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
ARMINTIE PRICE ARE YOU ON DRUGS
because that is the only way you can think you didn’t touch her.
Queenie - September 7, 2010
When Kia Vaughn misses
It’s just not your night
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
When Kia Vaughn misses
it’s Tuesday.
Queenie - September 7, 2010
hot damn
Cappie and Angel are out of their minds.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
If Atlanta scores 3 more points
they’re winning this
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
I NEED A DRINK
Queenie - September 7, 2010
you need a hug
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
I need Janel to be healthy.
Queenie - September 7, 2010
and maybe some Maalox
Queenie - September 7, 2010
yay, records
shame she tends to hit them in losing efforts.
Queenie - September 7, 2010
great defense Lei!

Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
yuuuup
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
that basket was quick
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
Cappie gets the shooter's roll
and she’s got 36…
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
time to start shooting 3s
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
uh oh
Taj is out
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
oh whew
it’s on PPierson
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
:(
that is all
Queenie - September 7, 2010
two threes
that’s all
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
ok now you can be sad
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
absolutely horrible foul
Slap foul on a fast break
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
Cappie's only mistake.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
I agree
And ultimately, it didn’t matter much by that point….
Just unfortunate really…
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
That should do it
Unless Atlanta flops even more spectacularly than Phoenix
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
at this point
if you foul them, FOUL HARD. I DON’T CARE. Sportsmanship can take a flying leap.
Queenie - September 7, 2010
I agree
That was terrible… just terrible…
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
hell of a way to end my first season as a WNBA writer
pretty depressing.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
oh, honey
you ain’t seen nothing yet.
Queenie - September 7, 2010
well I'm gonna quit if everyone is this negative all the time.
LJRotter - September 7, 2010
This sucked
but when you’ve seen your team do this for fourteen years, it only hurts like someone ripping open a scab with Wolverine’s claws and pouring salt infused with broken glass into the wound.
Queenie - September 7, 2010
Sorry guys
It would have been fun to fight with you in the Finals.
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
Who's everyone?
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
So...it's gonna be the Dream, huh?
All right Atlanta. You’ve looked pretty stellar in the playoffs, taking down higher seeds, but we’re gonna be a different story. And you know it.
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
I hate to count the Dream out
But you’re right: I just don’t see them taking out the Storm with this particular style of play. The Storm are going to battle them on the boards and a rested healthy LJ is going to give them fits…
Then again….I didn’t think the Dream would even get out of the first round…so….
Nate Parham - September 7, 2010
yay atlanta. whatever.
congrats. woo.
I will probably be less bitter later.
Queenie - September 7, 2010
can you bring yourself to root for Seattle?
WaveOcean - September 7, 2010
Um. Duh.
The underdog story is cute and all, but I’m not of the fan school that prefers to lose to the ultimate winner. I want the team that beat mine to get stomped into a mud puddle.
Queenie - September 7, 2010
I updated my signature now that Atlanta won
