    Little birdie told me Area 55 and G2 Zone are going to be behind the Atlanta bench tonight. May god have mercy on their souls.

      January just took a pivotal offense foul with under 3 minutes left. Woo!

      Larkins has 20 freaking rebounds and 16 points despite several Dream players trying to rip her arms off (foul on Larkins one of those times - hahaha). She should have been starting over Sutton-Brown awhile ago.

      Sooo satisfying to beat Atlanta. They've had our number so often in the last couple of years.

      Final: 75-64 Indiana. Would have been a lot more had we not turned it over so many times.

        Larkins has been unreal! She was a little rusty to start the season, which is understandable considering she had been out of the league for 2 years. She played in Turkey, but that's hardly the same thing. She put in some serious work during that Olympic break and she came back an absolute monster in the paint. She's making turnaround jumpers and post moves that she didn't have enough confidence to even attempt earlier in the season. What a find.

        Tamika's will to win just makes you fall in love with her. She got hit across the face, bloodied and just kept coming back to frustrate the Dream. The emergence of the supporting cast lets her dial it up even more on the defensive end and on the boards. I definitely like the sound of 'The Tamika Catchings Defensive Player of the Year Award' that Chris and Debbie proposed. Well deserved.

        Bring on the Sun. Looking forward to seeing how Larkins does against Charles.

          Congrats to Indy! January and Larkins were great, January really had a fantastic series. Angel is...a blessing and a curse. She's got all the positives..and flaws..of a young Kobe Bryant. Except she's more emotional. haha.

          Also, nice to see Frank there. I got a little excited when I saw him on the tv. :P

          Now to watch the old ladies vs. team all star. (Honestly, if the Lynx lose they should be ashamed of themselves.)

            Angel reminds me of LeBron the way she carries herself with a sense of entitlement, except she's got the short fuse of a Stephen Jackson. It's like the worst of both worlds. She's a good player, but her issues make me glad we don't have to deal with her.

            Nice to see Danny and West were there as well!

            Whalen's injury hurts, but the Lynx still have more than enough to get past the Storm. Still, can't help but root for Sue Bird.

                I hope Angel McPoutry enjoyed them.

                  Yea, she does have that. She's got a lot of not so great for your teammates to deal with personality traits. Funny though, I still like her.

                  Whalen's injury shouldn't be anything compared to the Storm's, with both Lauren and Sue injured.

                  Sue, yea I'm completely rooting for Sue.

                      I like her too, despite it all - as long as she isn't playing the Fever.

                      Rooting for Sue and Seattle - could they actually take this?!?

                        I doubt it. But it's always dangerous to be playing against Sue in a close game. Shocked she missed that last shot.

                        At the very least, Seattle proved Minnesota is beatable. (not quite sure how they're beatable..but they are.)

                          I can't believe how close that game was. Wow.

                          I expected LA to give MN a tough series before I saw how this series played out. Will be interesting to see if they look like their confidence has been shaken in Game 1 of the WCF.

                          Time to go looking for tickets!

                            Wow, I thought LJ had Sue open on that last play, especially since she was struggling and Sue was feeling it... damn.

                              I think the play was supposed to go to Sue, but the inbounder passed it to Lauren, and Lauren probably didn't know if she had enough time to give it to Sue. Lynx got lucky though.

                              Really fantastic series, I honestly expected Seattle to get pounded. LA has more talent than Seattle, but they aren't nearly as mentally tough, so I expect Minnesota will take it's second trip to the finals.

                                ESPN2 seems to be running the Connecticut Sun feed, anyone know where I can get a feed where they show the Fever some respect?
