I Don't Give A Damn About Her Damn Reputation...

If I were a betting girl, I'd be in the hole!  Tennessee loses to Baylor?  What the what?  Look, I like Baylor.  I've been a fan for years, but Tennessee?  Pat Summitt?  The Queen of basketball?  I mean, she IS basketball!  I must confess, there were almost tears shed over this game!

So now I'm watching Gonzaga get it handed to them by Xavier.  Expected, but still disappointing.

Here's where my mindset is...Griner.  Enough said?  Incase it isn't, if Britney Griner is "on", Baylor can beat U. Conn.  I know most of you are saying "you're as crazy as a one-armed paper hanger!"  Griner is a machine!  Literally.  At dang near 7 feet tall, this freshman can block pretty much anything she see's coming.  Oh sure, she's the biggest ego since Candace Parker.  Oh sure, she has questionable hair.  Oh sure, she was suspended by the NCAA for punching a player and breaking her nose.  But I don't give a damn about her bad reputation...Let's go Baylor!  Come on!

America's Next Top Model Called...

So I'm perusing the WNBA website...minding my own business...I'm happy...I'm laughing...I'm singing...then I see it!  My eyelids close.  Lips purse.  Nostrils flare.  Breathe...Breathe...Breathe.  There must be some sort of mistake.  This can't be right.  The Storm 2010 Roster still has no bench.  Let me say that once again...the Storm 2010 Roster STILL HAS NO BENCH.

I have ranted and carried-on about this for 3 painful years!  I do not care how stud-filled your starting 5 are if you have no bench (Jackson, Bird, Griffith, Cash, Swoopes).  I do not care if you have the baddest-ass female player of all time (Ms. Jackson if you're nasty) if you have no bench.  Hey Agler, you can't go the distance IF YOU HAVE NO BENCH!

Dear Agler:

Suzy (going forward we'll refer to her as Hyphen) is a nice gal and all, and God-bless-her-heart, but 1 basket + 1 turnover = 0 gains.  Then there's Katie...Agler, I am begging you to make her switch to light beer!  And Last, but sertainly not least, Ashley "ARob" Robinson.  Agler, help me with this one!  I honestly don't get it.  She scored a whopping 6 season points last year.  That's 3 baskets.  America's Next Top Model called...they want their contestant back!

Look, I know that the draft is still ahead of us and we very well may see some changes, but what's it gonna take for Agler to wake the heck up?  Seattle doesn't just want a WNBA team...we want a Championship!

March Madness Indeed...

Welcome back ballers!  Can you feel it?  Can you feel it?  I don't know about you, but I am ready!  It has been a LONG off-season...

Went to a few of the 1st round NCAA games and saw Texas A&M and Gonzaga play.  Gary Blair...I love you man!  You're one of the best around!  I know all of you Zags fans are all about Vandersloot, but I have one question for you...have you met Vivian Frieson?  I mean please...the girl played for Garfield...need I say more?  Vandersloot is good...one of the best guards in the country blah, blah, blah, but Frieson is a stud!  Shooter, blocker, stealer...ok I'm done.

I'll be heading to San Antonio for the Final Four next week and I can't wait!  Predictions?  Who's it gonna be?

Of course I wanted Taurasi crushed...

My heart is broken. Poor Indiana. What the what? No broken heart here! What an amazing series! Some of the best women's basketball I have ever seen! Seriously, both teams played like championship teams and I loved every minute of it! Of course I wanted Taurasi crushed, but hey, she's a stud and I'm big enough to admit it!

Tamika Cathings...all I can say is WOW! I always knew you were good, but now I think you're great! Defensive player of the year! Cathings' offense is everybit as good as her defense! I look forward ot seeing her more in 2010!

Katie Douglas...what happened? Bad series for Douglas, but when it comes down to it, she's a total rock star!

I'm very psyched about next season! I've been thinking of who my dream team would be. If you could build your own WNBA team, who would be your starting 5? Who would be your bench?

Fantasy basketball anyone?

Until further notice, I am not in charge...

Game 5 is tonight my brothers and sisters! I can't wait...come on FEVER!! We need a Cinderella story!!

So, I have a question. Why are the Storm players running off to play overseas? That's a serious question. I understand that it keeps them in shape and keeps them playing, but why don't they spend the off-season practicing as the Storm team? The Storm must improve in 2010. They proved to be average, at best this year. Why aren't they working together as a team during the off season? Yea, yea, money. I know, but still...

The WNBA is a job. They have a skill, they are hired. It's a job. They get paid for doing a job. I have a job. I get paid for doing a job. If I were to be average, at best in my job, I'd probably be fired. If my boss were unwilling or unable to mentor me into being successful, my boss would probably be fired. So, here we are. These ballers have jobs with the WNBA. They are average, at best. So who's going to be fired? We all know that it won't be Agler. He just signed a 2 year extension. I am most unhappy about that, but until further notice, I am not in charge. I honestly think the Storm fans will revolt if the following players aren't fired: ARob, Hyphen, maybe even Geralds.

Somebody better get fired!!

A sucka for the underdog...

Who would've thought? Our underdog's are holding their own! Phoenix 2 / Indiana 2. You ballers know that I'm pulling for Indiana. I'm a sucka for the underdog!

Douglas had an off game last night. Had she been on, we may not be meeting again Friday night. But I digress...

It's time to go all out! Who's it gonna be? Catchings and Douglas or Taurasi and Cappy? West or East? Mercury or Fever?

Cast your votes...

"Mouth vs. Elbow" side-show...

I'll tell you this, Phoenix cannot be counted out until the final buzzer sounds. We're in the 4th quarter of game 2 and so far Indiana has played the better game. Then why is it that Phoenix keeps closing the gap point by point by point?

Clearly Penny Taylor's loss in the "mouth vs. elbow" side-show has effected Phoenix's performance. Coupled with Catchings darn-near triple-double, this gives Indiana a real shot.

Did I speak too soon? I would call it a jinx, but other's call it "working the secret"! Phoenix is coming on strong...

60 seconds left in the game and Indiana up by 7.....up by 5....could it be? Will it happen? Is Indiana going to take this? I think so.....

23 seconds Indiana up by 5 and Taurasi fouls...her 5th. Questionable foul. Not sure why she'd found at this point.

14 seconds left Indiana up by 7...Katie Douglas shooting "and two"...Indiana up by 9.

Taurasi scores....6 seconds left...Indiana up by 7.

What a huge win for Indiana to win in Phoenix! What the what? This is huge! I'm stoked!

The best defensive team in the league has beaten the best offensive team in the leage.

1-1 in the series! This is WNBA basketball...we're seeing a whole new brand of play this season! Yea baby!
