What looked like a season's worth of dominance -- a 28-6 record, a 17-0 home record, a 22-3 start -- was actually something else, said Seattle Storm guard Sue Bird."I don't know if dominant is the word I would use," Bird said Tuesday as Seattle prepared for its opening-round series in the WNBA playoffs against the Los Angeles Sparks. "I think in like half our games we were down in the fourth quarter."
Bird's point is that Seattle battled and scraped just like everybody else -- winning five of their last six games by 10 points or less. And having such an accomplished regular-season guarantees you nothing when it comes to the postseason.
Not that the Storm would be in a position to take postseason success for granted.
Seattle hasn't advanced past the WNBA's first-round since winning the league title back in 2004. And in fact, it has been the Sparks who have knocked them out the past two years.
