Djaughe would be posting but I think he has front row seats. Orlando used to have a WNBA team but they moved.

If the Mercury make it in to the playoffs do you think they have a real shot at a championship? Also...if they have the leagues #1 and #4 scorers why are they a bubble team? Is everyone else that bad or do they just not play defense?

We had one of hte worst records last year, so the fact we are almost #4 is awesome. Getting Cappy in teh draft gave us our true point guard. This has been a great season for the Mercury. I still dont think they will have enough to get into the playoffs, but i love to be wrong!!

Dangit... Taurasi fouled out (offensive foul)

102-101 with 2 and a half minutes left.

Taurasi line: 47 pts, 9 assists, 6 rebounds, (8-16 from 3 pt land) She literally almost willed this game into victory.

I hope we can hang on

I hate the god damned Comets. They always seem to have our number.

Swoopes missed a shot almost at the buzzer, and again, a rebound was put back in.

107-105 Comets.

Game.

I forgot to mention that Pondexter already fouled out awhile ago.

We're doing this without our two studs.

Penny Taylor better bring it home!

Fyi, foul differential is us (32) and the comets (18 )

111-110 with 16 seconds remaining.

[thirty-two]

[thirty-two]

111-110


Whooooooooooooo Hoooooooooooooooooo

 

[Assface]

Game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

110-110


Whooooooooooooo Hoooooooooooooooooo

Um....if it's "Game!!!!" shouldn't the 2 scores be different?

 

[thirty-two]

HOLY CRAP

That was an awesome game.

Not only did we lose two of our best players to fouls, we got KILLED on the boards, but still managed to stick it to the Comets.

We faced them I think twice this season so far, and we got our butts handed to us. Not this time!

Okay, to get into the playoffs, we need to win out and the Comets have to lose out, as we are 1/2 game back from the Comets and the 4th seed.

Great. freaking. game.

Fyi, foul differential is us (32) and the comets (18 )

Sounds like a Suns game.....

So close.

We finished the season with a 7 game win streak. We were tied for the 3rd best record in the Western conference, but sadly lost the tie breaker to the two other teams who were tied with us.

Overall, I consider this season a success. I look forward to next year!
