The Shock won earlier today against the Fever 77-63. They survived again and tied the series 1-1. Big game tomorrow and its at home, so hopefully they can win the series.

Shock lost their composure in the early 4th, but they pretty much dominated this one from the outset.

Go Shock!

Shock need to steel-toe Indy's butt in Game 3. Should be a competitive game. Whoever wins, I still think PHX is the favorite to win the title. Too much offensive firepower from Taurasi and Pondexter.

I don't remember having seen anyone say this before, but does anyone else think that Deanna Nolan's style of play and way of playing is very similar to Rip Hamilton's?? She has that way of looking like she is playing just off the surface of the floor, never touching it.

To me, she looks just like Rip; I was wondering where the face shield went.

lazy, she is a lot cuter than Rip. To the guys at least.

She hits that 3 better than Rip and CB....

roscoe, I HAVE noticed that there are several significant differences

And they all favor Deanna !!!!

Rip is the bigger winner on payday....

On to the finals for the Shock. They eliminate Indiana and now face the Phoenix Cupcakes....................

AT least one team in SE Michigan was able to have a successful weekend a labor day after debacles on saturday by the Wolverines and Sunday by the Tigers.


Deanna Nolan was spectacular hitting 7-11 three balls to bring the Shock back into it in the second qtr, and once Tamika C went down, it was the Shock game to lose due to overconfidence. There was a stumble midway thru the third, but Cheryl Ford woke up near the end of the qtr and Katie Smith and Swin Cash carried on the onslaught to close out the game. The Shock should be able to outlast the Mercury's high potent no defense line-up as long as these two play all four qtrs with Tweety and not disappear like they have been doing.

Good to see Billups back at the palace today supporting his sister team after grabbing the medal last night with his FIBA team.
