I have Season Tickets in the first row right behind the courtside seats (next to Betty's Brother) I was wearing my KATIE GEARLDS PURDUE JERSEY I had custom made and I stood for the entire second half. Of course we pretty much had to stand for the first 4 minutes because we couldn't score...but none-the-less it was a great atmosphere. The girl in front of us was fantastic. She didn't sit, I didn't sit, my brother didn't sit...ect. Every time Bird had a chance for our first second half lead I would scream BIRD BIRD BIRD as the ball hit short. The one time I shut my hole she gave us the lead! I came home voiceless and would rank that game as high as the Connecticut-Storm game in 2005.(a 90pt a piece shoot out!) It only gets better for me because I can't wait to cheer my Storm and my Mercury! I love both teams and the Key better be rockin' for another classic! there is nothing like the fan base during a STORM game.

I agree 100%, but don’t forget to mention our 4th new big, Izi, because without her 25 points the last quarter would not have mattered.

IZI ROCKS!!

That was a completely incredible game. I have never seen that big a turnaround at the end of a game. Just when I thought the Storm had gone brain-dead to fall behind by 22, they came charging back 7-0 to give us all hope that they were going to pull this one out and boy did they pull it out!! We were all screaming our lungs out and jumping up & down and the Key was really rockin'. I'm not sure if I've seen that many pumped up fans for that long at any of the Sonics' games. Izi was phenomenal (I guess this really will be her breakout year), LJ was as incredible as ever (especially her 50-foot swish to end the game), Betty was definitely money down the stretch, Ashley totally held her own - she and T were tenacious defenders, and Wendy looked great for the 4 minutes that she was in there. It wasn't a great game for Sue but she played well in spurts, JB was hampered by her shoulder again, and I don't think we had enough time to evaluate Katie, Tye, or Shyra. But the game left me salivating about all the possibilities with this team.<br/><br/>I was also very impressed with how intimate Key Arena is when you close off the 200 level. It's really a special feeling. I had a great vantage point from 4 rows behind the Storm bench. It was really like a playoff game, although I'm sure we'll all be that much more rabid come playoff time. No wonder opposing teams hate to play here so much. We (the fans) really spurred the Storm on and overwhelmed and intimidated Houston. Nice work! Everyone should take a bow. I'm really looking forward to Wednesday and our next opportunity to help the Storm put another one in the win column. Make sure you tell everyone you know how exciting and fun the Storm are!<br/>- Zen Doc Wow!!!! That was a completely incredible game. I have never seen that big a turnaround at the end of a game.
