The Rematch
Tomorrow the Storm face the Lynx. Last time was dreadful. For the rematch, they will be without Lauren Jackson. Considering that the best basketball they've played this year was after LJ got injured during the Tulsa game, maybe that's a good thing? But Minnesota (5-1) isn't Tulsa (1-7).
In more generic Seattle Storm news, Swin Cash and Sue Bird were interviewed by ESPN's Mechelle Voepel about their recollections of the beginning of the WNBA. (I wanted to embed the video, but I can't find a way to do it.)
Today I found out that Svetlana Abrosimova (miss her!) has a Twitter account. Most of it's in Russian, but sometimes she tweets in English. For instance: "SwinCash im coming in august! just don't go to visit your friend in DC without me))". (Unfortunately, it looks like she and Jana Vesala are going to miss the trip to DC. The Storm have announced that the White House visit will be June 29th.)
Out of curiosity, I used Google Translate to find out what some of her Russian Tweets were about. It's not 100% accurate, but I usually get the gist. For instance, this was translated as: "Tomorrow start the championship. Housed normalno.otel nice, modern, but the rooms makenkie. Gorod yet not really seen before."
