The pain and suffering continues unabated in Auburn Hills, as the Detroit Shock blew their playoff opener against Connecticut. They now have to go to Connecticut and win two games to advance in the WNBA postseason. Detroit started out ice-cold on offense and was never quite able to put enough points on the board to stay ahead for long.

Hey, hey! Ho, ho! Bill Lame-beer has got to go! Along with perhaps one or two (or maybe more) of the current players.

Sacramento beat Los Angeles in game one at La La Land, so all Sacto has to do is win one of two at home to advance.

The same holds true in the other two first round series, as Indiana topped New York and Seattle downed Houston.

We will see what we will see...
