I WANT A GEARLDS JERSEY WAAAAAAH!
04 Friday Jul 2008
I’ve been on a funk (well, sort of) lately. I dunno why — can we just blame STRESS just like the old times? Work, work, work. Ugh. I haven’t been updating myself with the STORM, too. That’s almost blasphemous in my world. Tsk tsk tsk.
So, anyway, I still get to listen to games but without the proper attention that I used to bestow on my favorite team on earth. And it’s not helping that we’re sort of sucking on the road (thank goodness for the 9-1 Home record or else we’re toast). And it also sucks that the SpOrks are on top of the Western Conf (wait, lemme check … oh hell no, they still are on top boooo!). Oh well, at least we’re still above .500 and are sitting at 3rd.
The last game I listened to was against the New York Liberty this morning. LJ lit up for 33 points (wooohoooo LJ!) on 12-for-20 shooting, grabbed 5 boards, blocked 2 shots, and swiped one ball. Birdy also played awesomely. She scored a season-high 23 points and assisted 6 shots. Swin played another solid game, scoring 8 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. Swoopes had 9 points, 6 assists, and 7 rebounds. Yo Griffith had 4 points, 7 boards, and 4 steals.
The Up-Sides:
– LJ’s offensive flow has returned.
– Team has more rebounds now.
– Sue — oh Sue, keep that killer offense going. Downright awesome.
– That killer pick-and-roll is just, well, a killer. Pick your poison – LJ or Sue? Tsk.
The Down-Side:
– OMG, the bench?! The bench is missing! (I didn’t concentrate enough on listening so I dunno if they brought some hustle on the court that’s not reflected on the score sheet though).
The Game:
Score: W 81 — 74
[22–14][29–24][15–11][18–22]
Player of the Game: F Lauren Jackson (12-20) 33 Pts, 7 Rebs, 0 Assists
Others:
– The SpOrks lost wahahahaha. To Minny. Good on Seimone Augustus, Candice Wiggins, and company. Yay.
– We’re facing Minny next though. Uh oh. Haha. Oh well, go Storm!
– What the hell? No photos of the game on the Yahoo Sports gallery?! Weird.

After that nightmare back-to-back road trip (which included a loss to Detroit because of Katie Smith), we finally got some sort of revenge.

A race condition or race hazard is a flaw in a system or process whereby the output and/or result of the process is unexpectedly and critically dependent on the sequence or timing of other events. The term originates with the idea of two signals racing each other to influence the output first.
So is there a flaw in the system caused by a race condition? Is there a major critical bug that rightfully deserves all the attention that it craves?
Signal#1 is on the go. Signal#2 mada kangae-chuu Emaybe yes, maybe no, only one thing though, it doesn’t know what to do. Signal#2 mou shinda.

Okay, so Birdy’s expected to be the starting point guard of this year’s squad. The first 9 slots, as announced, are as follows:
– C Lisa Leslie (L.A. SpOrks) — Ugh.
– G Katie Smith (Detroit Shock)
– G Sue Bird (Seattle Storm)
– G/F Diana Taurasi (Phoenix Mercury)
– F Tina Thompson (Houston Comets)
– G Seimone Augustus (Minnesota Lynx)
– C Sylvia Fowles (Chicago Sky)
– F Candace Parker (L.A. Sparks)
– G Cappie Pondexter (Phoenix Mercury)
USA has won 5 of 6 gold medals, the latest was Athens. But it shouldn’t be guarantee enough because Australia’s Opals are the fiercest ever — led by Captain Lauren Jackson. Russia (with Becky Hammon) can also be a huge problem, I remember them beating USA in the semis during the last World Championships.

SEATTLE @ SAN ANTONIO (May 24, 2008)
Score: 72 — 87 (Loss)
— I missed this one because I wasn’t able to go home from Aileen’s Welcome Party in Bubaigawara. Good for me, at least I was spared the stress.
SEATTLE vs SAN ANTONIO (May 30, 2008)
Score: 78 — 57 (Win)
Player of the Game: F/C Lauren Jackson, 28 points (10-16), 3 rebounds.
— I actually forgot about this game. Haha. I woke up around the second quarter and immediately tuned to the dotcom audio. They said there was gonna be a webcast but it turned out they were just pulling my leg. I hope they archive it, though. It was a pretty awesome game by LJ. 😀
STANDING: 4 — 1 0.800 (2nd West)
UP NEXT: Houston Jun 1 2100H EDT

Still on a high. Awesome awesome awesome game. We got GREAT DEFENSE but sucky offense. Those damn shots just weren’t falling. Good thing though that we didn’t let Phoenix get further away from — what — 17, 19 points up?
I love SWIN. She’s my favorite acquisition this season. 😀

OMG, I LOVE SWOOPES! The defense is just way awesome. LJ was ice cold in the first half — missing everything! The Storm couldn’t buy a single bucket and it looked like Chicago might win the game. And then Swoopes stole all those passes and the game just went into a different direction. Hell yeaaaaah!
One thing — wahaha, palpak pa rin ang bench! Imagine, with 2 minutes left, we were up 15 and then the starters went out, tapos the Sky cut the lead down to 6? My Gaaaaaad!
LJ’s stats look a little, I dunno, mortal. Come on, feel the rhythm, super-aussie! We gotta get you back to Superwoman status, ASAP!
Anyhoo, top performers for this game:
Bird – 13 pts, 7 asts
Cash – 13 pts, 8 rebs, 3 asts
Swoopes – 6 pts, 4 rebs, 2 asts, 3 steals
