Let’s be very clear the Phoenix Mercury are not a great team, heck they aren’t even a good team. Dianna looks like she’s lost about 8 steps and Griner couldn’t careless about playing basketball (or so it seems with her effort half the time). The fact they are 12-10 is actually mind blowing given how inconsistent this team is and how up and down their effort is. Half this roster played in the Olympics and they’ve all come back, missed no time and this will be their 4th game in 6 days traveling across the country where it’s 11am facing a team they just beat by 11 because they shot 10+ more free throws.
Today the wheels fall off the wagon for the Meecury. I honestly won’t be shocked if they lose this game by 10+ but 6 points given the situation is WAY to many to a more than capable team in the Dream. The dream aren’t without their flaws and also have a tough scheduling situation here but they are back home and competing.
ATL +6 MASSIVE PLAY THIS MORNING

I was fully expecting to see -3 for PHO given the fact Dupree has played 2min, Tiffany Hayes looks like a healthy scratch, PHO absolutey dominating glass (+13), FT (+10) and efficiency on offense (60% from 3, 46% v 35%).
Yet here we are at PK (@my book, most show +1/2 for ATL). I’m a sucker for pain and I’m doubling down on the 2H. I still think fatigue will play a factor in this game coming down the stretch. Also, love the defensive pressure and pace ATL is playing with right now forcing 15 TOs. I fully expect some regression on BOTH sides. I don’t think the FT disparity ends +20+, I don’t think they get outrebounded by 26+ and I don’t think the shooting remains at 35%. I also don’t anticipate the Mercury to turn it over 30x today. That said I don’t mind ATLs position right here. Their competing, they’ve battled back from potential knock blows early and they are in this game.
I fully expect a competitive half. Didn’t expect Hayes and Dupree to basically not play today so I’ll revise my prior prediction and say Dream still play tough and make this a one possession game down the stretch.
DREAM PK 2H DOUBLE DOOZY

2H line makes ZERO sense
