Yes, I have my tickets already. Don't forget it's 3 out of 5. They play two in Seattle, and 3rd (Thursday) and 4th (Sunday), if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Mule Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Drat and double drat. The Dream just lost the first game. Tied with about 20 seconds remaining, Seattle scored with 2.9 seconds left. Angel missed a 3 at the buzzer. Better luck next time. GO DREAM!!! :sobbing: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WraithSentinel Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 This weekend has just been pure hell for Atl sports. I want the Dream to win this title otherwise I will just view them as another Atl team choking. I am not interested in the nice try here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators lethalweapon3 Posted September 12, 2010 Moderators Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Bloodied yet unbowed! Great Game 1 for the Dream! You can tell the Storm are not used to getting pushed that hard in their own house, they haven't lost at Key Arena in over a year. Despite bringing their A-game, they needed Sue Bird's heroics in the closing seconds for the second straight playoff game. Everytime the Storm thought they could pull away with threes, the Dream used turnovers and tempo to get right back in it. How about Izi's three at the halftime buzzer to tie it up? The Dream had the chance to pull off the upset at the buzzer despite missing Angel Mac for the whole second quarter and part of the second half. Angel came back after getting stitched up following a headbutt and continued making big buckets, and Izi's aggressiveness kept the Storm defense honest. A great team effort and learning experience going into Game 2. GO DREAM! ~lw3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 I plan to be there thursday. BTW - wonder who Jamal Crawford was rooting for? Hometown, or Hawks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTruth Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Since GM has been hyping these girls up so much, I decided to watch most of the second half of that game. Although the WNBA will never be all that interesting to me, that was one heck of a game. The Dream don't quit man. Seattle hasn't lost at home all year, and had it not been for a clutch jumper from Sue Bird to give them a 2 point lead with seconds to go, the Dream would have no doubt marched down the floor and won it. Already being down 0-1 in such a short series (best of 5) and Seattle having home court (best record at home), it will be tough for these ladies to pull out the series. But if they continue to play like they did yesterday, they might just have a chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, one outlet reported that he was rooting for his hometown but of course that was before the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, after watching a season of the Isolation Joe offense and standing around of the others watching like spectators, the Dream is a breath of fresh air. They are very aggressive and don't mind attacking the basket and taking hard hits. Like you said, they don't quit, even if they are 30 points down.

JJFAN4LF Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 This weekend has just been pure hell for Atl sports. I want the Dream to win this title otherwise I will just view them as another Atl team choking. I am not interested in the nice try here. Wouldn't call it choking. They're the clear underdog coming into the series. Seattle has homecourt advantage and that's huge for them considering they are undefeated at home.

Moderators lethalweapon3 Posted September 15, 2010 Moderators Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 (edited) Another one ohhh, so close! The Storm were fantastic in "shutting out," as best they could, Angel Mac (still squeezed out 21 points, but the lion's share of FGs were at the closing seconds of each half). The Dream's interior players was solid in rebounding but didn't help enough offensively to offset Angel's poor shooting night (was 5-for-21 and 0-for-6 in the second half at one point). They have to get Sancho and Erika more touches when Angel can't drive to the rim and her outside jumpers aren't falling. The Dream were not going to their bread-and-butter fast breaking off of opponents' missed shots and steals until the Storm pushed the game out of reach with just minutes to go. Despite nearly getting her nose re-broken early, Izi was about the only noticeable offensive threat, but she struggled with foul trouble and fouled out in the final minute-and-a-half. Delayed fouling (Woodsonian clock management?) took some valuable seconds off the clock in the closing minutes when they could have otherwise been in a position to tie or win. Hopefully they'll get some rest on the long flight back and return to focused, smart, winning basketball before a packed Game 3 crowd Thursday night! GO DREAM!

Randy Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Yeah, I think choking is when you are supposed to win and lose instead, or maybe when you lose by margins of historical proportions. In this case, they are 5 points worse than the Storm in Seattle. Too bad that equates to 2 games. One things is for sure - the Storm know that they have been in a series. I'm going tonight and hope for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonegully Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 At least they made it to the finals and made a game out of each and everyone. The Dream held their own against Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
