YTD: 18-6
Finally, a 6 day stretch of games this week. Like I said the other day, we have the next 4 weeks to enjoy a pretty full on schedule. The Storm have an interesting week this week, playing the Lynx, Sun and Sparks. Hoping that Alyssa Thomas returns this week for the Sun because they aren't even done with this crazy road trip. Play tonight at Washington which is their 5th road game in a row, they head back tomorrow to face the Fever on zero days rest before heading back out on the road for 4 a crazy west coast trip in which they play every 2nd night after they start that trip. Brutal scheduling for them but you know whats great, is that once they get this West coast trip out of the way, they will have already played 13 road games and only have 4 left whilst having a crazy 12 home games left which means if they need to make up some ground they have important home games to do that.
Mercury take on a terrible Liberty side who scored 54 points the other day? Thats crazy when you think about a pro ball team scoring that much. I know the Sparks D is good and in your face but 54 points in 40 mins of basketball? Maybe Katie Smith isn't the answer. Charles doesnt look happy at all either. Mercury on the other hand got bounced pretty easily by the Sky who welcomed back Dolson in that game. Nice move by Stocks to actually play her best players. They need wins and with Dolson back, the Sky could push for that 8th spot potentially. Mercury needing a win as well, they haven't been good the last few games. After this game they play the Fever so they could pick up 2 handy wins in a row if they can get their act together.
Wings take on Sparks in what should be a good game, Sparks have that 20+ point loss fresh in their mind from last week. Interesting game. Sparks D is legit and they are playing really well. Wings playing well also but haven't been impressive this year on the road. LA is a tough place to get a win and I just don't see it happening for the Wings.
Storm @ Lynx another good quality game with both teams in fine form. Lynx have found their mojo and the Storm are balling big time with Hughes as coach. Stewart leading the league in points and has become unstoppable pretty much. Fowles is going to have a handful with Stewart.
No lines out for me yet but I can see a few already.
Looks as though Mercury are -3.5 @ Liberty and total 156.5
Storm are +6 @ Lynx and total 165.5
Wings are +9.5 @ LA and total of 163.5
No lines yet for the Sun @ Mystics game.
BOL everyone..
