More thoughts on the sweep: Pelton says we've got a dynasty. In retrospect, had Cappie missed her chippie in the last seconds of last year's Game Four, the Shock would now be celebrating a three-peat.
Want pictures? The San Antonio board has tons.
If you had to predict, based on last year's results and rosters, who would end up in this year's Finals if no one got hurt, Detroit would have been a fine pick. So would Phoenix, and Indiana, and probably San Antonio as well. But if you told me that Detroit would lose Ford for the year, that Pierson would get hurt, skip playoff games, and log just 12 minutes apiece in the games she did play-- and then predicted a title for Detroit anyway-- I wouldn't have believed you for the world.
