« Sunday Drive | Main | Ferry Corsten, "Fire" » July 16, 2006Storm 83, Sun 92Char, Jason, Danika, Elaine and I joined 8,000-some of our closest personal friends tonight to watch the Storm lose to the Connecticut Sun, 92 - 83. The loss was painful, but the game itself was actually pretty good - especially the first half. Hell, our first quarter was rockin', with some incredible passing and rebounding work. We went into the half six points ahead, and then proceeded to do what we always do in the third quarter: blow our lead. Seriously. And it's maddening as hell. Basically, out pattern this season is that whatever points we've put in the bank in the first half of the game are gone by the end of the third quarter, and the fourth quarter is the breaker. Problem is, the Sun are a very good team (at the half, our shooting percentages were virtually identical at 47% and 46% - they just weren't throwing as often as we were), and they exploited our third-quarter weakness like pros. (sigh) Things weren't helped by the loss of Shaun Gortman to injury, and we've yet to get Wendie Palmer back on the court. (Plus - and I know this sounds like whining - the refereeing suuuuuuuuuucked tonight. Suh-huh-cked.) We've got just 5 home games left this season, and we're 11-10 right now (fourth in the league). I can't make Tuesday's game (travel), but absolutely plan to see the other four. Posted by Gavin Shearer at July 16, 2006 9:56 PM. Posted to Seattle Storm.
