Detroit at San Antonio

It has been a year of frustration for both of these teams, as both expected to contend again have failed. There is one very big factor at work here and as the season gets long, and teams outside the playoffs are outside looking in, and are used to being in there, begin to look for motivational factors. The Silver Stars have the ultimate motivator here. They dropped all three playoff games to the Shock in a 3-0 sweep, and watched the Shock cut down the nets right in front of them a year ago. You can bet this game will take on a lot more meaning for San Antonio than it will for the Shock who is down to just playing out the string. I'm going with the team that is home, and has the ultimate revenge riding on this game. San Antonio gets the call.
