« There Can Be Only One | Main | Deja Vu All Over Again » October 13, 2004Monarchs, Reloaded
The Storm are the 2004 WNBA World Champions!! In the end, the way we dealt with the Sun was very much The Monarchs, Reloaded. When playing Sacramento for the Western Conference, we lost a close game in their house, won a close second game here, and then blew them apart with a huge margin in the third game. It's like the Storm need the first two games to figure out how the other team is constructed ... so they can take them apart as efficiently as possible. Sports writers all over this town are hyperventilating with praise for the Storm, and rightfully so. It's been a long season, a good season, and, I predict, a major turning point for the team in terms of its legitimacy, credibility, and visibility. A lot more people are going to turn out at Key Arena in 2005. They're very, very welcome. For the first time in a quarter century, Seattle has brought home a professional championship. Rather than do some blow-by-blow of the game (others have already covered it more eloquently), I've just included a photo of me, Kaufmann and Mary for today's update. It was taken just moments after the final buzzer - confetti was still streaming from the ceiling. (And yeah, they played Queen over the Key Arena sound system. The entire crowd - hoarse, tired, and elated - sang along.) Posted by Gavin Shearer at October 13, 2004 1:06 PM. Posted to Seattle Storm. CommentsPost a commentThanks for signing in, .
