It’s a sad commentary on the state of women’s sports that Detroit’s Pistons, Red Wings and Lions generate more excitement by NOT making the championships of their respective sports than the Detroit Shock generate by making it to the finals for a chance at a second WNBA title.

Detroit’s women face the defending champion Sacramento Monarchs for what promises to be a dramatic series. Though the Pistons set NBA attendance records, the Shock are among the league’s attendance leaders with the Palace filled to less than 50% of its basketball capacity.

Where is the WNBA’s marketing blitz? It’s represented by the Shock’s pinup-style desktop wallpaper calendar! Go, ladies!
