A terrible 20 point 1Q ruined the over from the get go. The game still hit 144 but that 1Q really ruined anyone like myself on the over. Now we have game 2. I was lucky enough to watch the replay of Game #1 yesterday and I saw nothing from the Lynx that made me think they can turn it around. The books realise this as well, the Fever are now fav's to win the series after taking the first game. Going to be an uphill battle for the Lynx from now on. Their bench is weak. Fowles had a tough time vs Larkins and Anchowa when she came on. January was great for the Fever whilst Tamika was 50/50. Moore was off, Augustus was off, Whalen was horrendous. They are going to need to change it in a small amount of time against a red hot Fever team that just is relentless. Waiting closer to tip-off before making a play, just getting some thoughts typed out.

im confused as 2 how they were able to beat phx 2-0 and are gonna lose 0-2 to indiana? my gut tells me to just ride minn since this is revenge from 2012 whalen is like 50% healthy augustus is like 70% idk why i still feel that moore brunson and fowles still get the job done.

I hear you Ineed. That Mercury/Lynx series should have gone 3 games with that bogus foul call with 1.5 secs less, but nonetheless, we are here in the WNBA finals with the Lynx down 1-0 with their last home game before they head to Indy. One thing I have noticed, Indy are a great road team, poor home team which is surprising. Agree, Whalen and Augustus not 100% at all, just their bench worries me but then again, Moore worries me as well as she might come out and have a 35+ point night like she did in Game #2 vs the Mercury.

Sup dudes. I thought I'd chime in. I am not enjoying these playoffs that much, but I have been following them. I thought Fowles main adversary was herself, she is clearly the most physically gifted dude, eh woman, in the front court but she keeps making dumbest plays and she was soft on the boards; a few times January just shot over her b/c Fowles did not even had her hand up on the switch. It was pretty strange to watch. Gotta think this is where the Sky pedigree mattered, Prince style. Now, will she hassle tomorrow, or will she end up in a mental institution with Prince ? I hope Seimon will help her overcome her problems.
Moore kinda run out of gas in the 2H, as she usually does this season with nobody else to carry the scoring load. Whalen is really hurt, she is not even finishing the games lately, and Cruz was shaky in her first big game. Augustus also looked hobbled although she had some nice plays in the 2H. Brunson is also playing injured. On the other side, Indy played together as a team and won even with Catch not playing her best. Lots of Indy players are tough as nails, most notably January and Larkins. Minny never really looked like a dominant team in that game; and they missed a ton of crucial FTs, Indy was perfect from the line.
So what's the outlook as I see it ? I think Minny will probably take GM2, but Indy should close it out in 4. Catch said their goal was to take one game in Minny, and they did just that. They would love to take both, but I think Minny will step up; I think Augustus will produce a lot more points and provide Moore with some respite. Now, I dunno about the Min -6 cover but I think it is likely. I also noticed that GM2s are typically higher scoring than GM1s in WNBA finals, and I think this GM2 also has a good chance to go over.
GM1 almost went over, even with that horrible 1Q. Now the refs allowed pretty physical D in the 1H of GM1, but I think it might change in GM2. Minny wants to push the pace, they really do: their halfcourt offense blows. Indy also likes to play in spurts. I cannot imagine ESPN wants to see consecutive slugfests; but you never know. I think the last five playoff games went under, so beware. The refs have been the weakest link in the league for as long as I can remember so we might get another MMA match tomorrow. GL dudes.

I took Indy TT under 70 and really could care less if it wins at this point, the W beat me down these last 5 games with the no shows by NY and Minn...maybe Indy is that good and I just can't accept it. The W definitely took a downturn from last year when it was exciting and everyone showed up and played hard to win. Now Parker sits out until she decided to come back (even her teammates weren't to thrilled with that move), Fowles pouts and sits until she gets to go to Minn, Turasi doesn't play altogether, numerous stars have mysterious "ailments" that sideline them for an extended period in a short 34 game season, Sea and SA obviously tank for the draft pick...bunch of crap and a nightmare for the League that needs more positive things not less. There's no one can tell me this league is healthy and going in the right direction when NY and Minn look like complete clowns at home in the playoffs, maybe the NBA commish is orchestrating their death spiral to save the league some money, attendance had to be at an all time low.

Yeah, Wagers, the attendance has been at all time low this year. However, the home crowd for GM1 of the finals was the best I've seen this playoffs. It looked like that made the Lynx more nervous than the punk Fever, who were relished the chance to take on the fans as well as the Lynx.
And yeah, Indy is that good. I do not see how they lose this. They might even sweep it, but I hope Minny is too proud to be swept.

Need some advice on a parlay I have going. I took the field vs. the fever to close out a parlay. 50 pays 605. Currently, odds favor the Fever @ -115. Personally, I think too much is going against the Lynx. I think the Fever sweep. How would you guys play the game tonight? I'm thinking hard about taking the Fever series price at -115. Thoughts?

I dont know guys. I am kind of enjoying this for what it is and I suck this year. What you say about injuries etc. WAGERS is right on. Still I went to more games this year than ever and had fun doing it.
Liking the over today. Thoughts are on SLON Contest thread. Leaving for Pittsburgh to see my Pirates (from Pittsburgh) in the Wild Card tilt. Tough when my Buccos have the second best record in all of baseball and get to face Arrieta in a one game sudden death. Bucs get by Cubbies here I see a WS win in my future!

I didn't see the 1st game, except for the last 2 minutes. The one person who stepped up and helped their team win was Catchings. I would say MINN has all the pressure in the world to win tonight. However Mya Moore in my opinion is the league MVP and she will carry her team to victory. However they fail to cover the spread, but a lot of free throws tonight which will push the over.

Whalen is fat and slow and cant guard january. Augustus shows flashes but is getting old. Maya needs to shoot more but the ball hogs dont let her. Even if the coach made her shoot indy has four different bodies to throw at her. Sylvia KG fowles needs to stay out of foul trouble so she has to be selective on challenging shots which allows for indy to sneak in some offensive rebounds and floaters. And he has to also not pick up fouls due to their lack of a bench. They survived phx since they also have no bench. Catchings is old but in a good way. Whalen and augustus are looking older than her

Reeve has challenged Whalen and Augutus to be more aggresive in this game. Tamika has said that she is happy to take the 1 win away with them after these first 2 games which IMHO means that the Fever may not be as hard balling in defense as they were. Plenty of missed shots in Game #1 and especially the 1Q which was a stinker. Lynx need to push the pace, they just cant defend against this Fever team. We have seen the Fever dismantled the best 2 defending teams in the league during the post-season in the Liberty and the Lynx so far. Expect a higher scoring game this time around.

Erlana Larkins makes the difference to this Indy team. They rested her big time during the reg season but this post-season, she has been amazing. Hard to stop.

There were some bad signs for the over at the end of the 1H. I think both teams will be pretty tight down the stretch. Catch will be back in the game too, and that means much better D for Indy (not sure about her offense as well). Minny is in trouble again. Watching Cruz at the point makes me want to puke, the only good sign for Minny is that Moore was pretty silent in the 1H so maybe she will break her pattern of bad 2Hs.

Amazing, absolutely amazing how sharp the linemarkers are..
Total set at 146, Lynx -6.
Lynx win by 6 and total hits 148. This is just insane.
Will take it. Should never have gotten that close after only needing 24 points in the 4Q for the over. Atrocious shooting and turnovers from both teams in the 4Q. Line should be a PK if not Fever -1 or -2 for games 3 & 4 at Indy. Be very careful with your money in this league right now because those lines are so sharp its not even funny..

Thank god Indy decided to foul with 28 secs left, and god bless Cruz who made the FTs and then Zellous made the concession layup. Lovely. GM3 will be interesting. I wonder what kind of officiating we'll get @Indy ? Tonight, the refs wanted to avoid an MMA bout so Catch got 5 fouls pretty quickly. What happens there ? And will the shakiness from the 4Q carry over to the 1Q of GM3 ?

Great call Brutal Joe on the Over 147..Man,I usually don't get emotional with these games ,but I was about to start smashing shz if lost this Over being it was sitting at 122 end of 3rd.Great call Joe..Had over 1st half,Over for Game & Astros up 3-0...As we all know there is big diff in payouts from a 2-1 vs 3-0 for night.

Oh, and don't forget those two technicals during the last min, LOL. Wow. Hit both the 1H/FG over and under 2H. Sorry, Wagers. Too bad about your play. All in all, I think Indy is still gonna close out in four.

Great shit guys, truly. Just after game started recognised from here that the plays were Indy +points and especially Over 146. When I placed bet, was +5.5 and 145.5.
Had i had the same feel 5 mins earlier, I'd have a push on one.
Never forget: there is a big random element around each and every game. In televised events (playoffs) and super popular sports, the books and public (including sharps) are all over the action, so the lines aren't obviously off.
I was fat and happy on both of today's plays until 4th Q. Then a knot in my stomach. That's just part of the deal isn't it?
