The game wasn't the best I've seen - a bit of sloppy play and a few lousy calls - but the team seems to be working well together and a few of the plays were terrific. It'd been too long since I'd sat in the Key and cheered. It's also clear that Force 10 Hoops is investing for the future. The marketing campaign is built around this being the Storm's 10th season (the inaugural game was June 1, 2000), and it's clear from the positioning (new slogan: "Out Time Is Now") and polish (a tuned-up 3D logo, fresh player intro graphics, top-flight production for the game-kickoff movie) that the Storm are being relaunched as Seattle's pro basketball team. (Heck, they even got Jan Drago to stand up before the game to announce that the City of Seattle has declared June 7, 2009 "Seattle Storm Day".) A lot is new, but it's exciting to see the team with a new lease on life. Next home game is 6/19, vs. Minnesota; check out StormTix.com. Posted by Gavin Shearer at June 7, 2009 8:24 PM.
