KingPK 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2004 They beat the Connecticut Sun, the only professional sports team that I know of that plays home games in a casino (Mohegan Sun, which has a 10,000 seat arena right in the middle of the place). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Banders Kennany Report post Posted October 14, 2004 There's like three teams in the WNBA with sun-related names (Sol, Mercury, Sun). Even more when you count outer-space-related names into it (Comets too then). I think the Sacramento name is one of the worst...Monarchs? What was wrong with oh, you know, QUEENS? You know, since they are girls and all. That's like having the Los Angeles Men and the WNBA counterpart as the Los Angeles Boys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. S£im Citrus 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2004 Why would you be surprised that it wasn't the Liberty? They've never won it before, and are 0-4 in the Finals... they're the Bills of the WNBA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Monarchs" is meant to be for the butterfly; besides, "Queens" has a very negative connotation in Sacramento... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah but it just seemed to me that they always made it to the Finals, so to have it be two teams that I never saw being in Finals before is surprising, that's all.

You know, if it were just the people in LA (or Laker fans) who said it, I could just about tolerate it, kind of like the way Yankee fans always fuck with Red Sox fans... but, ever since the Big Dumbass-totle first said it, it's spread across the league like wildfire; now, even fucking Grizzlies fans use it... what the fuck have the Grizzlies ever done for their fans to be talking shit to anybody?

Guest GreatOne Report post Posted October 14, 2004 With Ray Allen wanting a trade daily, Rashard Lewis eclipsing Koren Robinson for the title of Seattle's most underachieving pro athlete, and only Jerome James around to do nothing this time around, SEATTLE SUPERSONICS: 2004-05 NBA CHAMPS. RECOGNIZE, BIOTCH!!!!!!!!!!! EDIT: Actually since the Shock beat the Sparks (oh god I actually know NICKNAMES of WNBA teams) but there's no NBA team in UConn I guess the Sonics beat the Celtics then.

Chuck Woolery 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2004 As probably the only person in here to watch any of the series... you guys didn't miss much. There was a five-minute stretch in game three where nobody scored. It was the saddest thing I've ever seen, especially when you consider that the first two games were relatively well-contested. It's still not the NBA or even college hoops, but it's a nice enough diversion. And Lauren Jackson > Sue Bird. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
