Postgame Post Mortem

The big thing I wanted to ask about after the game was the play with 32.4 seconds left where Sue Bird fouled Marie Ferdinand-Harris and sent her to the line with the Storm down three. Bird seemed angry after the play.

Some background. During the preceding timeout, we were able to catch some audio of Storm Head Coach Brian Agler on the radio broadcast, which was off air. It appeared Agler was ordering a foul. I was a little dubious of the strategy with more than enough time to get a stop and potentially get the ball back down three with a chance to tie.

On the inbounds pass, Tanisha Wright immediately fouled Sparks guard Shannon Bobbitt, putting the Storm at the limit. Then Los Angeles inbounded to Ferdinand-Harris and Bird applied pressure before being quickly whistled for a foul. It was possible that Bird hadn't wanted to foul Ferdinand-Harris, an excellent free-throw shooter, but it occurred to me that the team might have wanted to defend straight up after the first foul.

Bird confirmed that notion. It seems possible that the referees might have anticipated the Storm intentionally fouling and gone quickly to the whistle. Ferdinand-Harris hit both shots and the Storm was forced to try to foul the rest of the way.

Bird still seemed a little shellshocked as she talked to reporters, uncertain quite how to react to some of the big-picture questions. She did make it clear that she refused to consider the season a failure because of what the Storm accomplished during a record-setting regular season.

Sheryl Swoopes was, inevitably, asked about her future. She didn't have a firm answer, explaining that if she continued to feel good she would like to play another season. Swoopes was resolute that if she plays in 2009, it will be for the Storm.

The Storm will hold exit interviews over the next couple of days, and storm.wnba.com will have plenty more analysis looking back on the 2008 season and ahead to what is in store for the upcoming offseason.

Cara, foi mto frustrante, ainda mais pq depois de estar tão atrás nós chegamos tão perto, apenas 3 pontinhos...
Concordo com a Sue, a temporada está longe de ter sido um fracasso, uma frustração...superamos tantas coisas, com mtas lesões, fora o fato de ficarmos sem a nossa jogadora mais decisiva...
Eu estou triste, de mal humor, mas acreditem por outro lado estou mto orgulhosa! Agora é pensar na temporada q vem!
E sim Magic, agora eu aderi ao seu movimento! Somos companheiras do movimento sem-playoffs, mas pelo menos eu ainda cheguei a estar nos playoffs neh!? rs
