WNBA Playoff Results August 19

Detroit- 98
Indiana- 83

* Detroit sweeps Indiana. Argh. Where was Indy when I needed them? :(

* Funny note. Tully Bevilaqua guaranteed a win for Indiana in this second game. Apparently it got to the Detroit players and they were pretty fired up about it. This would have been cooler had Tully and the Fever actually done it. Alas, they've fallen short.

* Well-attended game. Thankfully. Detroit fans pull through. It sucks to watch a TV game where the stands are empty. It makes all the non-believers and haters snicker and pat themselves on the back.

Sacramento- 92
Houston- 64

* Sacramento sweeps Houston.

* What on earth has happened to the Comets? Someone on a message board pointed out that Houston has so many veterans on their roster. Inexperience can't be an excuse. They should have enough experience to know when to step it up. Simply unbelievable really. Blowouts in both games. I can't believe us Storm fans were scared of facing the Comets. Holy cow, maybe we should have. At least, the Comets that have shown up for the past two games.

* Sacramento's playing well and IF Seattle can get past LA, it would be extremely frightening to play them.

* Dawn Staley has played her last WNBA game. I wish she'd gotten at least one more game out of this (if the Comets had pushed it to three games). I haven't been a WNBA fan as long as the rest but I'll still miss what she brought to the game.

Detroit 2-0 Indiana * Detroit wins
Connecticut 1-0 Washington

Sacramento 2-0 Houston * Sacramento wins
Los Angeles 0-1 Seattle

Tomorrow, my Storm take on LA to try and sweep them right out of the playoffs.

GO STORM! BEAT LA!

2 sweeps. the monarchs are scary this time of the year. the sun are, well, they're the sun. their core group has been playing together since '04, so expectedly they'd do great.

what i like about the playoffs so far is that seattle broke the first-game-road-team wins pattern.

btw, we had fun with our pseudo viewing party :)

go storm!
