Been on the road for almost a week and haven’t had time to post. Had some winning days in between so of course now that I am posting… well, if you know then you know. Stay the course haha.
Tempted to back the Lynx tonight. The total on that game is especially intriguing to me. Both teams have played 2 games. The highest scoring mark for either team in all 4 games is 77. The other 3 scores are 66,69, and 71. So how the f are we gonna hit 160 tonight?
One thing I do find very interesting when comparing these two teams is looking at consistency between quarters. Phoenix has been the more consistent team, but obviously a little lacklustre. Out of a possible 8 quarters, Phoenix has only won 2 and tied 1. It was tied at 18 after the first in their last game and they also won the 4th quarter by 1 but ultimately lost that game. The other quarter they won was 22-19 in LA before ultimately losing by 23. Furthermore, in their last game they scored between 16 and 18 points in all 4 quarters. Comparatively, the Lynx have actually won 5 of 8 quarters. In their first game, they won 3 quarters but lost the game in the second when they only managed 3 points. It wasn’t as drastic but there was a similar feel to their second game losing the 4th quarter 24-10 and giving the game away.
It would seem that all this team has to do is play 4 quarters and a win is in the books. Admittedly, the direction of this team is a little up in the air and I’m not totally sure that they are committed to winning at this point but I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt this early in the season.
On the court, I expect Minnesota to dominate the boards. Phoenix is last in the league for rebounding and o board through two games. Extra possessions should be enough to come away with the road win and their first of the season. Definitely need both teams to at least hit 70 if this is going over the total cause it’s hard to see either team getting close to 100. Collier has looked great so far and should be excited for the matchup with Griner. Looking for a big performance here. Even if she gets shut down, that should mean there’s plenty of room for Shepard and others to clean up.

Was already leaning this way and now with Nneka out I’ll lock it in. I think the 94 from the Sparks opening night probably ends up as one of their top 5 highest scoring games by the end of the season. They shot over 40% from 3 and went 27/29 at the line to get there. They also had a 35 point 2nd quarter fueled by a rookie off the bench who had 14 points in as many minutes of play. I expect focus on D from the Aces visiting Hamby.
