Laimbeer is ready:

"We're not the champions of the WNBA," Laimbeer said. "We're gonna try to be champions of the WNBA. This year. And tonight will be a great winning experience for us, win or lose. We're coming. We're bringing it. We're gonna have some fun."

"We fulfilled the promise that we made, and that was for our organization, our fans," Shock Coach Bill Laimbeer said. "This next one (the WNBA title) is for us."

Seems like Detroit fans are finally getting into it too: there were over 13,000 there yesterday.

But there is one piece of very bad news -- Deanna Nolan might miss the finals after brusing a bone in her back.
