WNBA: Friday

[acehistr8]

(0:00) [POR 80-81] Figgs Jump Shot: Made (22 PTS) Assist: Folkl (2 AST)

Unbelievable game last night. Almost lost twice but saved by the three ball. That being said, does anyone think there could be point shaving/fixing in WNBA? In the NBA it makes no sense, because how much can Kevin Garnett make from a wager hes not making elsewhere? However Im thinking you know, a $20K a year WNBA player...? Down by four with 3 seconds left, 99 times out of 100 a team lays down.

Nonetheless we smile and move on.

Two late games today. Thoughts?

Any lines yet Ace??????

 

[acehistr8]

Minnesota Lynx
Indiana Fever -2 128?


Phoenix Mercury
Utah Starzz -10? 150?

 

[TJBELL]

THANKS!! Anything look good to you??

 

[acehistr8]

Two tough games, I may sit today out.

Looking right now at Indiana, but still no real play yet.

 

[TJBELL]

Indiana at home -2

Indy 6-6 at home

Minnesota 2-8 on the road.

WHAT AM I MISSING HERE???

 

[acehistr8]

Good points, though for some reason I dont think Minnesota is that bad. They just beat a very good Utah team.

I would lean Indiana ML right now, though I need to look at one more thing first.

 

[TJBELL]

THANKS!! Maybe it's one of those games that seem to easy and lose!!!

Superbook: THOUHTS???????

 

[acehistr8]

I feel how I felt last night with Portland. Sure they won but not without me having two minor heart attacks. My play right now is

<b>Indiana ML $280/$200</b>

Phoenix is up to +11, that is starting to tempt me...

 

[TJBELL]

A couple of my books just went to Indiana -2.5

do you like Pheonix +11 (even though they are 0-11 on the road) I DO!!

 

[acehistr8]

Phoenix scares me. They have lost by an average of 14.6 pts on the road. If you take away their blowout at Seattle, they have lost by an average of 12. Now, these loses have come in two groups, close games (5,2,2,6,9) and not close games (23,22,25,41). Throw in a 12 and 14 to round out the group.

Additionally, lets look at this. In the 11 losses, they have been down at the half 9 times and only twice did they even win the second half. AND in the two games where they were leading at the half, they got beat on in the 2nd half. What we have here is a very VERy bad 2nd half road team.

All this tells me if this team gets down, they arent coming back, but if they can keep it close, the game will be close. So lets ask ourselves, will this game be close in the first half?

LINE IS 6 in the first half

 

[TJBELL]

Nice reasoning!!!!! Maybe that one i will skip.

Playing INDIANA -2.5 220/200

GOOD LUCK ACE!!!!!!!! (AND ANYONE ELSE WHO PLAYS IT!!)

 

[acehistr8]

Phoenix might be a good H2 fade play.

If they are winning, I dont see them pulling away and if they are losing I dont see them coming back. Good luck today everyone.

Tom/Phil --

Not much to like today.

FWIW I made two plays:

MN Over 128.5

MN can score vs bad D like IND. IND can also put a couple of points on the board, especially at home.

UTAH Under 150.5

As Ace says, PHX is bad especially on the road. I'm betting on the scenario that has PHX down big at the half and they don't come back. UTAH has bad D, but still think they can keep PHX under 65.
Which means Utah would have to score 86 and I think they're a little tired after their recent road trip.

But then given my recent performance, maybe you should fade these picks.

 

[hawkeye]

sticking my neck out--minn over-phx under and phx--when does football start?

 

[TJBELL]

UNDER 150.5 LAST GAME 110/100
