Oh yeah, and another thing ...

Oh, and by the way, I watched Sue Bird's heroic game-winning shot at New York that you spoke so glowingly about. She was 0-for-8 before she made it, by the way.
But, I'll give her credit for hitting it when it counted if you'll also acknowledge playing with Lauren Jackson on her team makes it kind of easy. The reason Bird was so WIDE open was because Jackson gets triple-teamed constantly.
Gee whiz, if I had the best player in the world on my team I might make a WIDE open shot every once in awhile, too.
Becky Hammon takes and makes big shots in San Antonio, too. But, she does it while being the focal point of the opposing defense. NO ONE leaves Becky Hammon WIDE open with the game on the line.
Just the fact that Bird was unguarded in that situation tells you what the other team was worried about. It wasn't Bird.
Bird is good. The Hamster is better.
Tonight on ESPN2, San Antonio plays Detroit, then Seattle plays Sacramento. Watch both games, then kiss the ring.
