I have REALLY fallen behind in my blogging, so here is a brief rundown on what is going on...

The Detroit Shock have progressed through the WNBA playoffs and have one final game at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit on Saturday. This being Game Five of the Finals, which is currently tied at two games each. Defending champ Sacramento won the first and third games of the series, and Detroit won games two and four.

Detroit got to the Finals by beating Indiana in the first round and Connecticut in the Eastern Conference Finals.

In Game Four at Sacramento, where the Monarchs had never lost a playoff game, the Shock trailed 26-22 after the first quarter.

In the remaining three quarters, Sacramento only managed to equal the 26 points they scored in the first frame, as the Detroit defense clamped down in a big way. This was especially evident in the fourth quarter, when Sacramento could muster a meager two (that's right, TWO!) points.

And so it comes down to one last game, with Detroit having sort-of home court advantage. I say "sort-of" because the Shock usually play at the Palace of Auburn Hills, but due to a Mariah Carey (who sucks, by the way) concert, the Shock will play at Joe Louis Arena instead. Not that it will matter, as the Detroit faithful will be there and the Shock will build on the momentum of the Game Four win and Take Back The Title.

More commentary to come later today or tomorrow...
