Took lynx 2 years ago hedged it in the fever series, took lynx and sky last year had great odds hedged only the sky against Indiana. Ended up winning pretty good amount. This year I still feel that if lynx core is around they can win again. Only threat I see is possibly Phoenix if they learn how to play together.

Moore was effective immediately, and a monster in her 2nd season. For Phoenix to be as good, they need Griner to be very effective, or a monster. I don't think she's there yet. Maybe in 1-2 seasons if she's healthy.

Good to see you around for another WNBA season. Looking forward to this one. Plenty of player movements/trades but one team that hasn't really changed to much is the Lynx. Once again for me, you just can't look past this team. Agree with you, for Mercury to be better Griner needs to go into beast mode.
So Im liking Lynx and Sparks. Sparks have also acquired some good experience such as Arminite Herrington Candice Wiggins.
Im also expecting a much better season this year from the Shock. Not to win it but I think the books will give them the "dog" status each game to begin with but I think they will win a few games and at least cover a lot of the spreads..

Has anyone followed 'offseason' play for Griner or any of the other Mercury players? Would love to hear your thoughts...

Less than 6 hours until the season tips off. Minnesota and Los Angeles seem to be the bettors' favorites*; Chicago, Phoenix and Atlanta remained priced about the same; a bet on every other team can bring about 4 more units than just two weeks ago. A bet on Tulsa - almost 9 more units!
+169 (+200) Minnesota Lynx
+371 (+363) Chicago Sky
+358 (+418) Los Angeles Sparks
+983 (+991) Phoenix Mercury
+1057 (+1000) Atlanta Dream
+1957 (+1601) Seattle Storm
+2049 (+1675) Washington Mystics
+2225 (+1823) Connecticut Sun
+2449 (+2008) New York Liberty
+2675 (+2194) San Antonio Silver Stars
+2898 (+2378) Indiana Fever
+4465 (+3673) Tulsa Shock
*It only takes a couple of hundred dollars to move this line 10-20 cents... it's playmoney for a book like pinnacle or 5dimes, so take this info for what it's worth.

... and I ended up backing Angel McCoughtry, again.
Got Atlanta at +1200 which I'm perfectly happy with. They are well on their way to clinching first seed in the East. Beating Minnesota obviously is a tall order but they've 'been there'. Just need to 'do that'.

And immediately New York goes to 'win now mode'. So how is it possible that the team they gave up their draft pick(s) to, is beating them in the standings and is more likely to make the playoffs? The ineptitude of New York sports franchises (Knicks, Rangers) is simply amazing. Just ask scalabrine.

Major movement in my book just hours after my previous post. I believe Minnesota price is overreaction and so is Phoenix's. I think adding more Minnesota futures is a sharp move; and taking Phoenix at +400 is silly. As is +500 Atlanta. New York price is finally what it should be.

It's a bit to early in the season but an early look seems the Lynx aren't quite the same team of the past few years.
They have a good record of 10-4 but a small pt. margin of 4.4, not a good indication going forward. This is something to watch over the next couple of weeks.
They out-shoot their opps by 3.3 %, that's good but not great but they get pounded on 3 pt. shots, getting out-shot by 4.8% with a poor defense giving up 38.5%.
Atlanta might be the team to beat in the East but at this point would likely lose again in the finals. They out-shoot their opps by a mediorce 1.6% or someting like that, although they are a monster rebounding team but rebounding alone does not win titles.
Right now the team to beat is Phoniex, they out-shoot their opps by a whopping over 7% and they out-shoot their opps very strong by 5 or 6% in 3 pt shots. They have a very strong pt. margin of 8 pts which fits their great record of 9-3.
Phoniex's normal weakness has been rebounding but at this time they are 49.5%, if they can maintain around this level they will be a strong contender for the title. Watch for this in the next couple of weeks.
It's still to early to make a call but I'd lean Phoniex to win title at this point.................................

Love your input. If you had to pick a team to win 'without' Phoenix, Minnesota, Atlanta... who would you choose based on current payout? I mean, does +4000 on Tulsa or +1200 look more appealing?
Suppose this will be graded by their regular season record only.

Good to see you around for another WNBA season. Looking forward to this one. Plenty of player movements/trades but one team that hasn't really changed to much is the Lynx.

So Im liking Lynx and Sparks. Sparks have also acquired some good experience such as Arminite Herrington Candice Wiggins.
Im also expecting a much better season this year from the Shock. Not to win it but I think the books will give them the "dog" status each game to begin with but I think they will win a few games and at least cover a lot of the spreads..
BOL Muggsy this year..
Spot on with Minnesota (who will improve, just watch) and Tulsa. Not so much with Los Angeles... but you couldn't know Toliver would become a Slovakia national out of the blue, right?

Suppose this will be graded by their regular season record only.
I don't judge teams on value of payouts, teams like Tulsa, LA and Indy winning the title would be rare exceptions, they happen once every blue moon but are not worth making a play on them in my view.
Teams with the common denominators of past champs win the title a very high % of times.
At this point only Phoniex and the Lynx have these, although the Lynx have a small pt margin.
It's still early, the Lynx could go on a big run winning big in a few games and Phoniex will likely not sustain out-shooting their opps by over 7%, but how much they fall-off is yet to be seen.
It's possible Phoniex could fall-off in FG % diff but elevate their rebounding if that happens I'd come big on Phoniex to win the title of coarse depending on what the Lynx do.
In a couple more weeks I'll have a much better idea about these teams.
