The 2010 WNBA Playoffs Thread (Seattle Storm: Champions!)

[Lamrock]

GO STORM!

[Rip32]

lolz

more so at the fact that this is actually the first semi-serious WNBA thread I've seen here... ever?

I hate the WNBA now, it used to be a guilty pleasure of mine to sit down and watch Deanna Nolan kill it when she was with the Shock, but since they moved to Tulsa my interest is gone-- which is probably a good thing.

[Lamrock]

Wel, second. Storm are killing it though. 3-0 in the playoffs (3 wins away from the title!) and are undefeated at home this year. Lauren Jackson's like if Tim Duncan and Dirk Nowitzki had an Australian daughter.

[benji]

I'd say she's better looking than that.

EDIT: Just found this out.

The new television deal with ESPN will continue during the 2010 season (runs 2009–2016). For the first time ever, teams will be paid rights fees as part of this deal.

Holy shit, no wonder so many teams were insolvent.

Lauren Jackson

Let's go Liberty! Pondexter

[shadowgrin]

Of the WNBA highlights I've been seeing (while waiting for a program), Lauren Jackson's been killing it. Since when did she have an outside shot? It's like she got tired of abusing people inside and decided to pop some threes. She's also decent driving to the lane, for a player her size.

[Fresh8]

Go Lauren Jackson. One of the greatest of all time.

[Lamrock]

Phoenix is killing the Storm right now. Fuck the Mercury.

[Lamrock]

Oh shit son. Came back from down 19 then Bird hit a three to win it with 2.8 seconds left. STORMMMMMMMMM!

[Murat]

Storm has the biggest chance to win the title. BTW waiting a Storm & Mercury final.

BTW waiting a Storm & Mercury final.

Not really possible as they are from the same conference. In fact, Storm just sweeped the Mercury in the West finals.

[Lamrock]

This year, the championship would be a bigger deal than 04 considering what happened to the Sonics. Really hope we draw ATL instead of the Liberty.

Liberty lost. Lyttle and McCoughtry were amazing...

[Lamrock]

Seattle leads series 1-0. Storm played bad all game, and at the end of the game were tied at 77. Then Sue Bird hits her second straight game winner! 5 down, 2 to go!

[air gordon]

why aren't you at the games? mustn't be hard to get tickets...

[shadowgrin]

Lamrock will lose man points if he's seen there.

[air gordon]

and he's not already by making this thread? may as well go all in...

[Lamrock]

Haha, I've been to a few regular season games, but I'm pretty broke. Was tempted to go today, but its $30+ for the worst seats in the house and none of my friends wanted to go.

[shadowgrin]

He already lost man points because of this thread but not as much as going to the game itself.
If he loses man points here again we'll have to start calling him pansy.

[Lamrock]

Seattle Storm would sweep the PBA all-stars in a 7 game series.

[air gordon]

i don't blame 'em...

wtf $30 for a playoff game? do wnba tix even go on stubhub? i'm sure you could have scored a ticket for cheap if you hung out by the stadium

[shadowgrin]

Meh. Haven't watched the PBA in a long time.

[air gordon]

Dickey Simkins would've rocked whatever lesbo team Seattle had to offer

not being able to afford a WNBA tix is pretty pathetic

[jonthefon]

And the Storm go 2-0 up...

Still, they lost six times to a bunch of girls. That's beyond terrible.

But seriously, I've come to like Seattle sports teams recently (or what remain of them). Apart from the M's. Fuck the M's.
