Storm 84, Comets 71

I feel for the Houston Comets, I really do.

They're a talented team, full of great players who are aggressive, can shoot the ball, and aren't afraid to give their all. The Comets won the first two WNBA titles in the league, and have proved to be serious contenders every year since.

Until this year.

The Comets came in to Key Arena tonight with a zero and eight record for the season, and left with zero and nine. They've yet to win a game in 2007, and, for a team that talented, it's gotta sting.

The Storm turned in a solid, solid performance tonight, despite some slop midway through and a lot of turnovers and steals. The Comets, on the other hand, were hungry, and it appeared to be their undoing - moving too fast, fouling too often, shooting too prematurely. I think their record is hanging over their heads right now, and it's becoming a self-fulfilling prophesy.

(Of course, some Storm fans claim that we jinxed 'em after our 44 - 9 run upset their imminent victory at the Storm Home Opener; I, however, think it's Just One Of Those Things.)

I respect the Comets - they're just having a rough streak. Luck on the next one, I'm sure. In the meantime, it's great to see Seattle stay in the hunt and play such solid ball for four straight quarters.

We're vs. the Shock next Wednesday. See you all there!
