Despite being passive observers, fans experience the highest of highs and lowest of lows following their teams. Game 3 between the Phoenix Mercury and Chicago Sky was definitely earthworm territory for Mercury fans, and now, with the English language bereft of a single, perfect word to describe last night’s debacle, I must now make do with many angry words strung together.
Friday night was an embarrassment, not just for the Mercury and their fans but for the league itself. Here they were, supposedly the two best teams in the league with the series tied 1-1 going into a hinge game, and one of them plays as poorly as Charles Barkley and company after the Nerdlucks stole their basketball powers in Space Jam.
