Large Play Tonight - WNBA Eastern Conference Finals - Detroit Shock

[FatTony]

Wow, Shock are getting steamed hard.

Pretty sure I just flushed $$ down the drain on Conn.

Want to sell me your bet???

 

[SkinsRaj28]

I'll tail you on this, OMT. Lets do this.

 

[Railbird]

Bill Laimbeer blows by Jordan with champoionship rings. Billy was my all time favorite player. Led leauge in rebounder, great post player, great 3 point shooter.


Saw him OWN shaq in Oralndo one night, BOTH ends of the floor.

Haha. Never. I'm going to expierence this one way or the other.
I do not feel to good about it though. But sometimes those bets are the most fun.

Jordan prevented Detroit from a 3-peat. And it hurt. And I could not stand Mike at the time, but that is the truth.

Left out one of the dirtiest and classless players too. Did make a very good career out of nothing. He didn't even start at Notre Dame. Bruce Flowers did. He was a first round pick by Cleveland.

Exactly. And that elbow he gave Robert Parish was probably the weakest crap I have ever seen in my many many hours of watching hoops.

Slow start for the Shock falling behind 21-9 but closed the first quarter with a rush. End of 1st quarter: Connecticut 25 Detroit 21.

 

[Omni]

Hell of a comeback so far. I am impressed.

 

[oldmanTED]

Second quarter swings more to the style of Detroit playing defense and holding Connecticut to 7 points while scoring 15. FG percentages now drop Connecticut to .325 while Detroit improved to .378. Cheryl Ford of Detroit dominating the boards with 16 rebounds. Dydek (7'2") for Connecticut has only 5. End of 2nd Quarter: Detroit 36 Connecticut 32

 

[rolltide]

Sun 49-48 end 3rd ... c'mon Shock!

 

[Omni]

Gonna be an interesting 4th. Detroit needs some more offense. Very physical game so far, I especially thought Detroit got fouled a great deal under the basket with no calls.

 

[oldmanTED]

Slow third quarter for Detroit falling behind by 6 but closed late. End of 3rd Quarter: Connecticut: 49 Detroit 48

 

[RobFunk]

Best of luck down the stretch OMT, got a feeling you have it right. :toast:

Trying the RX jinx?

 

[RobFunk]

Trying the RX jinx?

Shock are at home and it's close. That's my reasoning.
