# Double-double to start the season. Attagirl, Birdy.
# LJ was too quiet in the first half tho.
# Swin and the Refs — it’s been a hate/hate relationship since last season.
# Camille Little almost gave me a heart attack. Good thing that was no ACL tear or something. A sprain is still painful but at least not ACL.
# Katie Smith. Man. She awesome, yes?
# It’s the first game but man, T.Wright, get your shit together, okay?
# WNBA Liveaccess looking all snappy and shit. I love it. Too bad I can’t find the 2010 Archives tho. Aren’t those available anymore? *Sobs*
# Storm over Phoenix — 78 – 71.

There’s this great write-up by Nate Parham over at Swish Appeal about WNBA Point Guards. Basically it has stats and other intangibles that made Seattle Storm Point Guard Sue Bird successful during the 2010 WNBA Season (and hopefully in 2011 still).

Slam Online’s Ben York on Sue Bird (Rank #6):
She won’t dazzle you with a ton of behind-the-back passes or put on a dribbling exhibition, but she could teach a class on the best way to make an entry pass or lead a successful fast break. That’s what makes Sue’s game so remarkable – she plays basketball exactly how it was meant to be played.

Via Kevin Pelton of Storm Basketball, the following vid shows the series of all Storm scores that made up the 15-0 run that wrestled the lead away from Phoenix and ultimately capped by that massive Sue Bird three-pointer to win the Western Conference Finals for the first time since 2004.
The game is now archived at LiveAccess
Storm Photo of the Year
31 Saturday Oct 2009

Via Storm Tracker:
Okay, so, WNBA.com is choosing its Photo of the Year. The first round of the voting gives fans the chance to choose a photo for each specific team. Currently, they’re highlighting the Seattle Storm. So, Stormies, come on, let’s go vote!
I’m having a hard time choosing between the two below:
“Team Line-up”
“Passion”
I like the first one (coz I’m crazy about wide shots lately) but I also really, really, really like the second photo coz the photographer practically just nailed Sue’s passion for the game with that shot. Plus add to that the fact that I’m such a (or used to be such a) rabid Sue Bird fan LOL. Anyway, these awesome photos were taken by Terrence Vaccaro.

***********
Wooo! The Storm worked out some awesome Key Arena mojo, holding the SpOrks to just 50 points with no person in their roster over 11 points (LL with 11, CP3 with 10, DMJ with 11). The Storm, on the other hand, got another solid game from Sue Bird (20 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists) and Shery Swoopes (16 points, 4 steals).
Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to wake up for this game (waaaah) and I dunno if the dotcom webcast~ed this game. Haaay. But it’s all good, it’s all good.
