Game three begins today at 4:30pm Eastern (ESPN2). The Monarchs will try to regain focus.

Yo says this series is harder than last year's: "This is not Connecticut. This is Detroit. They won't fold over, and this is not guaranteed." (Sun fans: "Ouch." Maybe she only means the Shock aren't injured.)

Coach Whiz confirms that the Monarchs' fold on Friday was largely about fatigue: "We just hit a wall there physically. I started seeing my players didn't have any zip." Will the Arco Arena fans provide some?

UPDATE: Pelton correctly predicted games one and two; any prognostications for game three?
