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!
