Another key game tonight for the Shock, who entertain San Jose in just about an hour. Spokane just finished some pre-game warmups with QBs throwing to receivers (Emery Sammons, Adron Tennell, Brandon Thompkins and Randy Hymes, who is making his Shock debut). LB Antwan Marsh (hip pointer) is suited up so it looks like he'll go.

No sign of the linemen yet. San Jose just took the field. In a score of interest to the Shock (and to Utah and to San Jose), Tulsa is tied with Orlando at 21 midway through the second quarter. A Tulsa loss coupled with a Shock win clinches a playoff berth for Spokane.
