Conn Sun -7.5 over NY Liberty ***
Sun have Charles the best center in the WNBA{ Greiner hasn't played yet}Laimbeer is coaching Liberty so his physical style and defense will take time..to develop...Pondexter doesn't have enough around her...
Tulsa +8.5 over Atlanta **
Only won 9 games last yr but is the most improved team in the league...acquired Wiggans and Powell and got back 6'8 Cambage who played in china last yr...she just arrived on Wed so only practiced a few days..ND's Skylar D is a rookie and think she will do well...Atlanta is one of the best teams in the east...McCoughtry is the best scorer in the league avg 21 pts...the best small fd in the league...dream has 4 starters back and they are one of the best defending teams...Tulsa might need a week or two to "gel" as a team but think they might keep this close es.p if Cambage can play somewhat like she did in China..
1-0 last nite with Indiana

LA Sparks -15.5 over Seattle ****
Sparks are probably the best team in the WNBA...Parker is a force...Ogwumike is dominating like she did at Stanford...Tolivar at 5'7 is a great pt gd who can score...Add Harding to the Sparks and they can score..Seattle is still missing their two top scorers..Jackson who has been out for a long time but Seattle w/o Bird is a different team....both out for the season...Sparks at home are 9-2-1 ats and were 16-1 at home...Seattle has all new players and will take some time to play together..Sparks on a mission this year...beat the Storm lyr at home 83-59..should be the same tonite..
2-1 plus 4 *'s

On it with you...
On it with you...
Seems the SPARKS will come out dominate, 1H line is -9 so was wondering if you consider that a good play as well.... :shrug:
Thanks in advance!! :0003

Randercity..didn't see your post...I guess that 1st half -9 was a good play...they were up by 11 at half...I don't play to many halves..But Sparks blew them away 102-69...think LA could win the title this year.Adding Harding is a big plus..she had 12 pts and 8 assists in her 1st game and only played 20 minutes..
Tulsa Shock -6.5 over Wash Mystics **
The 2 or 3 worst teams last yr in the WNBA...both teams can only go up...Mystics get pt gd Latta in a trade which is a big addition...Langhorne can score but this team still can't rebound or shoot..Shock got killed by Atlanta the other nite getting beat in the paint and on the bds....Diggins 1st game had 15 pts but 5 To's...but she will create baskets with her penetration and will get fouled a lot...Shock already has a game already under their belt and are playing at home.Lean towards Skylar and co...
Phoenix Mercury -7.5 over Chicago Sky **
Greiner makes her debut for the Mercs...but Delle Donna does the same for the sky...Espn putting this on TV...top 2 college players..Sky has 6'6 Fowles to contest Greiner...and has Cash,Prince and Vander..t. Donna is an impact player and could beat out Greiner as rookie of the yr...thats how good she is..But Merc had such a disappointing yr with all its injuries..but almost everyone is healthy...Taylor and Dupree were all stars..Bonner is a scorer and of course Taurasi is the best player in the league. If Griener can dominate which everyone thinks she will Mercury is the pre-season fav. to win the league.Playing at home and Taurasi is enough..

Phoenix Mercury -10 over Seattle storm ****
Both teams got blown out..LA beat Seattle 102-69..storm shot 3-17 from the 3..both stars out for the season..Mercury was blown out by Chicago with della donna...Griner got 3 quick fouls and sat out the 1st half...think Taurasi,Bonner and Dupree should blow the storm out. Greiner will play smart and should dominate inside.
3-3 plus 4 *'s
