You Go, Girl(s)!

Betty Lennox carried the Storm (and the ball) on Sunday.

Say what you will about the quality of the WNBA, but the Storm did two things on Sunday that our beloved Sonics haven't done in ages: sell out the Key, and win a meaningful game:

SEATTLE, Oct. 10 (Ticker) -- Betty Lennox won her shootout with Nykesha Sales and extended the WNBA Finals to a decisive game.

Lennox scored 27 points as the Seattle Storm survived a record-setting performance by Sales and held on for a 67-65 victory over the Connecticut Sun that evened the WNBA Finals at one game each.

Read the rest here.

I know my two colleagues have been dissing The Storm, but if they win their next game, Seattle will have it's first sports championship since 1979. And that, surely, is worth raising The Goblet of Rock.

Seattle Reaches Finals! Woo!

That's the Seattle Storm. In the WNBA Finals.

If you need to find me, I'll be camping out along the victory parade route, which will travel the full length of the Northgate Mall parking lot.

I'm still trying to figure out where this falls on the whole, "ending in a tie is like kissing your sister" scale of sports satisfaction. No offense to anyone's sister, but, "ewww."

Side note: There is no way that someone would say isht like that in this day/age without sounding like a complete perv. Like, when Angelina Jolie talked about being "so in love with [her] brother right now." Creepy...

We're Number #15!

"Check out all the rings Jordan and Duncan got me!"

According to Steve Kerr's column at Yahoo! Sports, the Supersonics (or, SuperSonics as he calls them) are going to finish last in the West. Worse than the Clippers. Worse than the Warriors. Worse than every one of the fourteen other teams in the Western Division.

The article confirms one thing for sure: Steve Kerr is a dumb-ass.

Kerr isn't alone in his dumb-assedness, though. ESPN has the Supes ranked next-to-last in the NBA. Yes, that means worse than the WIZARDS!

Obviously, these "experts" haven't heard of a fellow named Ibrahim Kutluay. Ibby is going to carry this team to at least tenth place in the west, so watch out Bobcats!
