Thanks DC.   

Adding Vegas -2 first quarter. After coming out flat in the last two games I think LV gets it right today. Especially inside without Thomas as I really doubt she will play and if so how’s she going to raise her arms to play D?

Leaning LV -3.5 first half but not locked in.  

Edit: Fowles OUT for minn

Seattle -8

The more I think about it the more reasons I see that it’s about time for an old fashioned Seattle beat down in this game. Of the higher seeds, only they and Minnesota did not get pipped after a bye, the covid stuff is behind them, and they got the rust off. They had nearly twice the turnovers Lynx did in game one, I think they cut those down and force Lynx into a few more. I know it’s the playoffs but Seattle is the best team for a reason.

Good luck to all.  

Sue Bird needs to take a seat. 

Adding LV -3.5 first half. 

Good luck. 

Sue Bird was ordinary tonight wasn’t she? Turnover after turnover, 3 after 3. I know players become complacent when the team is up (eliminate the spread for the game and your mind) but even being up by 6-10 points she was making poor choices. Glad we both hit this though, closer than expected 

Agreed, Oz. Dangerfield defended her well and also seemed to take it to her on the other side of the ball. Not sure if it’s age, lack of games played this year or what but they should keep an eye on Bird that she doesn’t cost them a game if they go to the finals. Whitcomb was key for Seattle tonight along with Lloyd. Getting Collier into foul trouble was big. 

Something is very wrong with Las Vegas. 

2nd half under 80.5

Alyssa Thomas is a beast. I was dead wrong about her. Not doubting Connecticut’s ability again.
