Get another one!

Saw a few people at different times come in to my work yesterday in Sun gear. Had the definite look of team employees. Had been hoping one would be a player, but checked the roster and couldn't match.

 

[riverman]

Fire the number one 4th qtr scoring team in the league and Emily Engstler is the WNBAs leading shot blocker..BC is 2nd in the league in steals! Go Fire!

Love this team!
I need to get me some Fire merchandise.
A T shirt or a hat.. something.

This team rocks.

That alternate jersey with the roses is, well... Blazers should have done that when they started the alternate jerseys. Shit, I'd elevate that one from alternate to main personally.

Between the Fire logo and the roses, the marketing team has plenty to work with.
Love it!

Off topic.

What Tom Dundon has done with the Carolina Hurricanes is impressive.
They look real good tonight.

 

[Chris Craig]

Tied going into the final quarter.

The Fire need to show once again why they are the best 4th quarter team in the league. Let's go!

 

[Chris Craig]

8-0 Portland run!!!

 

[Chris Craig]

The Leite show!!!!

 

[Chris Craig]

Bruhner!!!

 

[rotary111]

CLUTCH!

 

[riverman]

This team just keeps coming at you!

 

[Chris Craig]

Another win!!!!

 

[Chris Craig]

Most wins in the league!!!!

 

[rotary111]

FIRE WIN! FIRE WIN!

 

[rotary111]

Playoffs?

Fire is just fun to watch. WOW another win

Sarah Ashlee Barker is the Fire's Toumani Camara (but with a better shot). That lady has some serious "dawg" in her. People can shit all over the +/- but hers is stunning. She makes good stuff happen every time she's on the floor. But then, that seems to be the entire Portland bench. They are the one's who won last night's game. Bühner was a very pleasant surprise. So dang much to like about this team. I hope they finish the season with the roster they currently have.

There were almost no expectations for the team so whatever they do is pleasant surprise.

They kinda have two Toumani's in Barker and Engstler.

Buhner was also key down the stretch. Happy Birthday to her.
