Here's what I posted at the other place.
Yesterday: 1-0
YTD 36-17
Sunday's card looks good. I'm going with the revenge factor tomorrow:
BEST BET: Seattle -5.5 (majorbetting.com)
If you remember last Thursday, I made SEA my BEST BET to cover at SAC. The Storm were up 31-30 at the half and then fell apart in the second half to lose 72-64.
I'm sure SEA has revenge on their mind and I definitely do as I'm going back to the well and backing the Storm again on Sunday.
The more that I thought about that game, and reflecting upon comments made by the Valuist at MJs, the more I'm convinced that SEA was the victim of some bad breaks in last Thursday night's game.
Today's easy win by Utah at Sacramento and Friday night's win by SEA over IND has further convinced me of this.
In their first match-up, SEA shot 38% from the field including 6-20 from Lauren Jackson and 3-9 from Sue Bird. Kamila Vodichkova should have owned the paint, but she played most of the game with foul trouble.
SAC Center Yolando Griffith is out for a month but it looks like point guard Ticha Penicheiro, who leads the team with 5.3 rpg and 8.1 assists, will probably also be out vs SEA.
Penicheiro didn't play in Saturday's game vs Utah and she was on the bench in dress clothes. She is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game with a strained right shoulder. If I was the coach, I would rest her so she's ready for next Tuesday's big home game vs. WA.
In their last game vs SEA, Penicheiro had 10 points, 6 rebounds, 10 assists and 3 steals. She is obviously a loss for SAC if she doesn't play.
SAC plays this game having played Saturday; SEA got Saturday off after playing three games in the previous four days so they should be a little better rested.
SEA shot well in their win vs IND and should be coming into this game with a lot of confidence.
FWIW, SAC is 7-0 all-time vs SEA, but I think this streak ends on Sunday. SEA is offering its fans a money-back guarantee; I'm not offering the same but I think this is a good play.
