Anybody watching the Silver Stars game?

If they win it all, as good a business as Mr Holt runs, I wouldn't be shocked if they turned a net.

Quite possible. I don't have any of the financial numbers, so I don't know for sure. But, my guess is that no WNBA franchise turns a profit.

That's not a diss on the WNBA. I think the WNBA is good for the communities and for young girls in those communities that the teams are in. My point was to disagree with any notion that Holt would be excited over this for revenue reasons. That's not the point of the WNBA, at least at this point in its existence. Even if the Silver Stars turn over a profit by going all the way, would that money be of any significance compared to what most businesses, much less NBA organizations generally make yearly? I'm guessing no.

Game 1 is Wednesday... let's have a GTG @ the ATT.

Home court advantage in the WNBA means having games 2 and 3 at home and game 1 on the road, I think. We have the best record in the league, therefore I think we'll have to wait till game 2 to meet at the AT&T Center.

This could turn out to be the second best team Sophia Young has played on.

This being one of the first Silver Stars games I've gotten to see, I can sort of see why Hammon might not have been wanted on the Olympic team. She seems to be from the "bad shot beats a good pass" school. Since my extremely biased opinion is that they should be running PnR and feeding Sophia in the post, maybe I'm overstating it. She can sure shoot though. She reminds me of Steve Nash without the passing ability.

Finals is a 5 game series.

Hammon doesn't choke though. Hammon > Nash

Both play horrible defense.

[trippy]

[trippy]

Nash is a lot of things, but I'd never really thought of him as a choker.

where are you now? anyway, i'm from bohol, philippines and been living in san antonio since 1995. love it here and i love my SPURS and SILVER STARS.

Any SpursTalkers want to try and get a block of tickets to sit together? I've got my ticket, but I'll swap or sell it if we all can sit together.

great idea! i hope more STalkers will go to the game to show support. i went to a silver stars vs. storm game in the regular season and the attendance (9,000+)was better than today's game. too bad i was working today that's why i couldn't attend the game...

That game 5 possession just letting the ball glance off his fingers was pretty gaggy.

Yep, that was a bad play. Are you suggesting that Steve Nash's body of work makes him a choker? I somehow doubt it.

[Budkin]

Not only is she smokin hot, shes clutch.

Agreed.

[JamStone]

Becky Hammon is very pretty for a WNBA player.

Calling her "smokin hot" is an extreme exaggeration of her looks.

We already have our tickets, but group sales emailed a flier for $10 seats
PM me if anyone wants me to forward it to you

Ehh, hes not a Clifford Robinson like choker, but, defensive lapses hes made, questionable plays during big games, ehhhh like i said, not full on, but, hes had his moments.

[FromWayDowntown]

I can think of a lot of words to describe Steve Nash, but he's hit too many big shots in big games (even in games that his teams eventually lost) for me to think of him as a choker.

I wouldn't say choker, but, not the most 100% clutch guy out there.

, what're you on? For a WNBA player she's easily smokin' hot.

[Pistons < Spurs]

San Antonio Silver Stars vs the Detroit Shock in the WNBA Finals!!!!! Awesome!!!







Maybe if the Shock win I'll be able to change my name to Shock > Silver Stars

[Kriz-Maxima]

I think it will be a great finals

Would YOU be willing to change it?

[Pistons < Spurs]

Would YOU be willing to change it?

Heck NO I'll be rooting for the Shock, but I can't honestly admit to following them enough to consider myself a fan. I'd take my current sorry name over one falsely repping the Shock!
