Quote(s) of the Day: Richard Cohen
From his Finals Preview:
"Seattle has been so good all year long because they're smart, disciplined, balanced, work extremely hard, and because 'throw Lauren the ball' is a heck of a first option."
"[Seattle] won 13 games in the regular season when they were trailing going into the fourth quarter - the most any other team managed was four."
"Sue Bird is the best point guard in the game, running the offense with calculated precision and stepping up to take important shots when necessary, as miserable Mercury fans can attest."
"Seattle is a different animal from the Dream down on the block, but no less dangerous. They may not have the pure size and length of Atlanta, but the presence of League MVP Lauren Jackson means that we may barely notice."
"Just to top things off, Jackson's a superb defender these days as well (I doubt she really cares, but making her second-team All-Defense this year was less than she deserved)."
"No team in WNBA history has ever gone undefeated at home throughout an entire season including the playoffs, but that certainly doesn't mean the Storm are destined to drop at least one in this series. It would just be another record for Seattle to break in this remarkable season."
Bonus: Pictures from practice!
[p.s. I'm setting this to post shortly before tip-off of Sunday's game. So don't worry, Mom, I am at work.]
