The last two weeks of the season,....most cappers that post here on a regular basis are doing very well, so as a collective group congrats on a job well done.
Indigo lines
Monday, August 6
Storm -7' Liberty 164
Tuesday
Dream -10 Aces 158
Fever +7 Storm 160
Sky +6' Lynx 165
Mercury -2' Mystics 163
Kristi does it again for the Mystics, hitting a tough fadeaway in the last seconds....best clutch player in the W, wants the ball and usually delivers when the game is on the line.
Storm go on a back to back, first to the Big Apple and then to Indy....it would not surprise me if they lost to the Fever...it has been a chaotic season and players all are admitting they're tired. For the Fever Cappie Pondexter is showing me why she was a legitimate player in the WNBA by her play with the Fever at one point in time, when her previous two seasons she was absolutely abysmal. The Fever could upset the Storm on Tuesday.
Dr. Bob, an ubitiquous online handicapper says that teams in the NFL that need to win a game to get into the playoffs, etc., cover about 36% of the time. The W may not be so different. I expect the Sky, , Fever, Aces (and maybe even the Liberty) to cause some unexpected upsets in the last 6-7 games of the season.
I will be probably be on the Aces when they travel to the Dream, as teams off big wins/upsets this season have not performed well their ensuing game, especially as favorites.
The Lynx?....how low can they go? Maya Moore was 4-13 from the floor in their thumping against the Dream. She rarely gets open looks and she can't blow by defenders and finish in most games. She needs a good point guard now, in the off-season it'd better be a Lynx priority to get a good one, like Vandersloot. In a one game road playoff game they could win one or two series, but they are not winning anything against the top 4 teams.
The Dream are the most athletic, best defensive team in the W by a country mile. If Hayes is making some, and they limit the amount of shots that Angel gets, they won't be beaten in the playoffs,...which is a big "IF". Angel tends to shoot it much more than she should, but now the rest of the Dream have evidently realized this and don't give it to her that much. She should either be going all the way to the rim or catching and shooting, and that's about it. Hayes should be shooting it 20 times a game, she'll get plenty of free throws if the ball is in her hands as she is excellent at drawing fouls. Now Bentley also may have found her game which makes them even tougher....I'd put their championship odds at +300.
And the Sun, have they resurrected themselves? When you shoot 65% as they did today, you'll look good, but I would put their relative strength at about 4th, with the Sparks, Dream and Storm ahead of them. IF Jonquel Jones could be a consistent threat, they would be better than that and a real championship threat, but she hasn't done it for almost all of the year. As I mentioned earlier, I would play her and Ogwumike togeter A LOT and sit Alyssa Thomas down, A LOT, as besides Thomas' defense which is very good, she drags the rest of the team down with her terrible offesne. I would put their championship odds at +800.
