Seattle Storm vs. Minnesota Lynx SPORTS
Seattle Storm vs. Minnesota Lynx
KeyArena

There is a lot to love about attending a professional women's basketball game. The athletic amazons, the snacks, the beer, getting all worked up and yelling and clapping, weird half-time activities, the people-watching, and the pure excitement of fierce action. The players shoot fast and furious—Seattle currently has the best record in the WNBA and is heading to the playoffs. Don't call yourself a hoops fan until you've watched Sue, Lauren, and Swin bring it. (KeyArena, Seattle Center, www.ticketmaster.com. 7 pm, $15–$62.) by Gillian Anderson

For my money, the Storm are the best sports experience in Seattle--and not just because you're watching great basketball but because of the passion of the fans.

But as great as the atmosphere is in the regular season, the playoffs are a whole other story. If the Storm make the finals this year, as they should, the energy in the Key is going to be off the charts.

The Storm secured a playoff spot back in July, and secured the Western Conference title before any other teams in the league had secured their playoff spot. This is definitely the season to come to a game if you've never done it before.

I agree with the general sentiment here, but this particular game will be a snooze. The Storm are resting their starters as they coast to an already guaranteed top seed in the playoffs.

Possible - but we've got a perfect home record this season that I think the team and Agler would like to protect. Plus, after two losses on the road I think Agler will want to make sure the team isn't just coasting but is ready for next week.

nedludd @3, the only person who knows if the Storm are resting their starts is their coach Brian Agler. And my understanding is that the real resting took place during the recent three-game road swing and now the greater concerns are:
A. Rust.
B. Preserving their perfect record at home.

But hey, you're not Brian Agler, and neither am I.
