Let's get ready to rumble.

The Shock are ready. They were close to getting booted on Sunday; now they have a chance for the ring.

The Palace tonight could host a sellout crowd of over 22,000. Laimbeer is asking all the fans to get there early to help get the team fired up.

The Detroit fans have by now learned to hate LA and its star.

"It's no secret that a lot of people across the league feel that the L.A. Sparks are a pretty aggressive team, that they get away with a lot of stuff," ESPN analyst Ann Meyers said. "There's a lot of players around the league who feel that way. And Lisa gets pretty beat up, but I think Lisa dishes it out, too. That's just kind of the way it is. But I think they deserve to have that swagger."

It should be quite an event.

"It's really going to be emotional," said Swin Cash. "You dream about playing in a game like this. It's what you live for ... what you play for all year long. Every possession will count, and you have to take care of the ball."
