More of me trying to take interesting shots of the visiting team during the Storm introductions. I'm manually focusing (in near darkness) and trying to get the players on the very edge of useable shadow details.

Why is Katie testing the stretchiness of her uniform?
|

It looks like she's trying to shoplift something out of the arena!

Someone wishes she were starting.

The game started simple enough: Lindsay Whalen simply running to the basket, over and over and over.
|

Great, here she comes again.
|
11.jpg
|
12.jpg
Must stop Lindsay!
|

|

|

Now we think we have her trapped...
|
16.jpg
...but instead we foul her.
|
17.jpg
Finally after six or seven Lindsay Whalen Blitzkriegs, Betty is able to stop her without a foul...
|
18.jpg
...wham!

Erin Phillips doesn't seem to be afraid of injuring herself...
|
29.jpg
...she slammed right into Lawson's block here...
|
30.jpg
...then takes a spill...
|
31.jpg
...then traps the ball between her feet. This is legal possession of the ball. At the U of O vs. UP game a few months ago, I saw a jumpball called when a U of O player trapped the ball with her feet!

Another quick save. She's a regular Tully.

Oh no, we're back to this again.

What has happened to the Sue Bird Charm? That smile could turn two pointers into three pointers, flops into fouls and maybe even make the shot clock go backwards. Now refs look at her like she's asking them for spare change.

Sue tries to screw up Katie's drive...
|
50.jpg
...she got a hand on the ball (without drawing a foul)...
|
51.jpg
...but Katie still manages to rip it away...
|
52.jpg
...and make a layup.
|
53.jpg
Isn't this over the back on Janell?
|
54.jpg
Oh well, who am I to judge?
|
55.jpg
Tough shot...
|
56.jpg
...doesn't fall.

Do visiting teams have to do this every third quarter in the Key?

Is Kung Fu legal in the WNBA now?

I've never seen Sue sweat like this before.

A strange floating no-look pass...
|
72.jpg
...that never should have been thrown.
|
73.jpg
We have a little comeback going and the bench looks slightly worried.

This long hook shot (against Margo!) didn't work.

A little bit of an offensive foul on LJ.

The cop thinks Halley is some grey-hair hippy troublemaker.

Here's a situation where I think LJ's lack of mobility is pretty clear...
|
94.jpg
...a healthy LJ would put a spin move right around old Taj...
|
95.jpg
...but even stepping on this foot seems to be awfully painful...
|
96.jpg
...so she sort of stumbles around Taj.
