So we have two potential 5 game series between the Sun/Sky and Storm/Aces who I do believe were the best four teams consistently in the league so no major upsets. Mystics just couldn’t find their rhythm in that series vs Storm and those two wins were pretty impressive by the Storm. Unlike Aces who struggled for three quarters in Game 1 vs a very depleted Mercury team. It took them the 4Q to find their mojo and motor on. Game 2 was different as they came out flying after the 2Q and easily covered. Hamby for me is the biggest loss and not sure if she is fit to play yet. Gabby Williams for me as well for the Storm is a bit of a liability with her TO’s followed by fouls. She really is a bit wild on the court. Loyd found some form and Stewie will always be Stewie and could this year be Bird swan song? They are paying 5:1 odds right now to win the Chip which is not out of the question at all. If Tina can keep playing the way she has been along with her team-mates, I don’t think this will be an easy series for the Aces. Books are loving Aces as they are 2:1 to win the title which is a big ask given their lack of bench depth. See how this series unfolds
The next game is Sun/Sky which should be a cracker of a series. Not entirely sure who goes through into the WNBA Finals. Sky have the experience Advantage for sure especially in this big games, but the Sun has so much height and energy along with good experience. Tough series IMHO, wouldn’t be surprised to see Conn go through but on the other hand, Chicago does get 3 homes games if it does go to a 5th game.
Im seeing Aces -5.5 right now and 170 total. Nothing for the Sun/Sky game as yet.
Plenty of time to research before making a bet. BOL everyone, thanks for being civil this year in the forum. Miss you BrutalJoe, wherever you are mate

Cheers Spottie. I see the line has moved to-3.5 already. Lean that way as well after seeing the last two performances from the Sun and Sky beating them 7 out of the last 8 matchups

No Gabby Williams for the Storm which means the Aussie Steph Talbot slots on. I really like this as I feel like Gabby has been hit and miss and has a lot of careless turnovers. Talbot has played in big games before with the Opals and in the WNBA so she will be fine. Tina switched teams mid season because she wanted to play for a contender and then you have Stewie who is quite possibly the number one girl in the world followed by the vet experience of Sue Bird and Loyd can always get hot when she wants. The Aces have their guns, Plum, Gray, Wilson and Young but I’m not sure what kind of Aja shows up for this game. She was poor in Game 1 vs Mercury but showed up game 2. She can’t decide to have a night off against the Storm in this series. Hammon won COY award which is an amazing accomplishment in her first season as HC but I’m backing Seattle for this game as they have the players that have done this time and time again in the post-season and also have bench depth when called upon.

This match up is interesting. All four games came down pretty much to the wire in reg season. The Sun were poor in that series against an under strength Wings team and I find it hard to see them win a second road playoff game consecutively. The Sun hit just 13/46 three point attempts in that Wings series and we all know they are about the inside game but I do like Meesseman and Parker up against Jonquel and Thomas. Guard advantage you would say leans towards the Sky with Quigs and VDS and then Copper rounds the team out along with Bonner for the Sun. Do see the Sky taking Game 1 at home by 6+ points as it’s always tough to win back to back playoff road games.

Will take the 1-1 split. Chicago looked ordinary the entire game. Tool small leads but that 14-2 run that Sun had towards the back end of the 3Q sealed the deal.
see you guys Wednesday
