Watched all of the games today at various stages.
Suns 95 They continue to crush teams in the second half, the Liberty are not an easy team to play and they put themselves in a position to win at the end after getting killed in the first half. I have four units on them to win the title. They are missing a superstar and that could be a deciding factor going against them in the finals. Still, their conditioning, bench and defense are far superior to anyone elses thus far.
Seattle 92 They look great this year, as they have an inside scoring presence and two superstars that can carry a team. Helps to have the all-time assists leader leading the team in Sue Bird. I just bought in on them at 20/1. The two best teams by far so far this season have been the Sun and the Storm....will that carry for the whole season and into the playoffs?....we'll see.
Sparks 91 Their two stars are not playing like stars right now, it's tough after going to the finals two previous years in a row....maybe they turn it around during the regular season, or maybe they squeak by in the regular season and then try to turn it up in the playoffs. Why they decided to get Pondexter was the ultimate brain cramp by someone....if it was the coach I give him 10 demerit points for that boneheaded decision.
Mercury 90 Maybe this is not your mother's Mercury, but Taurasi seemingly has meltdowns every game, do you get Dr. Jeckly or Mr. Hyde with her?..... or maybe both in the same game Their defense is better and Lyttle could be the glue factor that this team has needed.
Liberty 90 I have more faith in them that they'll turn it around than the Lynx, as they still should be hungry. Losing Laimbeer will hurt them I believe. They still will finish second in the East and could put together a run in the playoffs.
Lynx 90 They'll be getting huge lines all season long, similar to the Cavaliers in the NBA. They should be pointspread poison as big favorites, I see them finishing 3rd or 4th in the West. Their elite players from years past look only above average now.
Wings 90 If Glory Johnson can make it back, this team could be dangerous, as she is one of the more valuable players to her team. This team is a year or two away from being an elite team, this year they'll make the playoffs and get some experience. I don't know if Fred is an elite level coach, which could make the difference between being champs or being contenders.
Dream 90 Getting rid of Cooper looks like addition by subtraction....they have been very tough at home and Angel has hit a big shot or two to get them Ws.
Mystics 87 EDD seems like a nice person and is very skilled, but her teams rarely play better with her on the floor.
Sky 87 They're better, and have savvy guards....they're a good underdog team because they can shoot. If they had anyone elite on the front line this would be a cash cow......but I haven't seen one on their team.
Aces 86 They'll get better as the season progresses....Moriah Jefferson is one of my favorite W players and she has been out and she'll bring loads of energy to the Aces if/when she comes back.
Fever 84 A bad team with a bad coach with rookies getting plenty of time. Their front line is pathetic and they turn it over a bunch, plus they're very bad defensively. Yuk.
