Here's what I posted across the street. Wasn't sure if you guys wanted me posting in your threads or not. Some guys are picky about that, especially if I'm going the other way on a play.:(

All plays will count against my record. Lines from Majorbetting and Olympic at the time I made my play.

BEST BET: New York -4.5

IND beat NY on June 8th in Indianapolis by a score of 71-62. Why New York will win and cover tonite:

1. Revenge. The Liberty will be better prepared for Catchings this time around. The last game was the first time the Liberty had played against her.

2. IND is tired after nearing a long month on the road. IND starts an 8 game homestand on July 6th. But in the first 30 days of the season, the Fever will have played 15 games, 10 of which will have been on the road.

3. NY needs to win tonite at home. New York plays well at home and is in the first of five at home. The Liberty , the preseason favorite, have fallen into third place in the Eastern Division.

And perhaps most importantly:

4. NY will get the calls at home. New York's tough zone D gets them called for a lot of fouls on the road. It's hard to win when the other team gets 20 more foul shots.

At home this season, The Liberty are averaging 2.75 more fouls shots per game than their opponents.

On the road this season, their opponents are averaging 7.3 more foul shots per game than The Liberty.

The worst two cases of this was in their last game at ORL (the Miracle got 19 more FTs than NY) and the last game vs IND (the Fever shot 28 more FTs than NY).

New York had 38 fouls called on them in that game vs IND on 6/9 and despite only shooting 10 FTs themselves they only lost by 9!!!

The rest of my plays:

Utah -7
WA -7.5
PHO +11

sb - Personally I think we should shoot for one thread. I like having all the info/ideas in one easy place to read, so tread on my thread anytime.

I like the play on NY and understand the reason. Getting 7 pts though seemed to high for me, even when you figure in the revenge factor (carib still has 6.5), if it went to NY-4, I would jump on the middle.

Good luck today.

Tough call. I still like Mia and Ind as the dogs today, but at 7 points, who knows as the line falls into the 4.5 range.

Like Houston tonight as well, not going to play them as Minn beat them this year. But Hou -1 is a lean right now.

OK, I'll bite. Houston really is the better team here.

Adding <b>Houston -1</b> (Carib) to my plays.

Good luck guys.

I like the under in the Phoe/LA game. Phoe has a game at home on Wed night and plays LA again at home after that. We could very well get a blowout, which means no foul-a-rama late in the game, and a little slower tempo of play.

Valuist -

If MIA/CLE Over comes in I'll go with your advice on the LA Under.

Looks like CLE got Ruth Riley in early foul trouble which is good for the Over. With that cast on her hand she can't score anyway but with her out of the game then CLE will get more easy scores close to the basket. Brondello looks like she's 100% again and Lennox will start throwing them up if MIA gets down too far.

Unfortunately I have a board meeting tonite from 7:30 to 9:15 so I'll miss the second half of the game. :(

I'll be back later.

I deserve the scores as they are now for betting like an idiot.

Glad Houston is winning, but I am going to look at the 10pm games now to make up for what is looking like a 1-2 early evening.

Phil -- don't get down on yourself and don't chase.:) There's always another day of WNBA tomorrow. You can't have a perfect night every night.

FWIW, looks like favs are covering again tonite unless things change in the late games.

It also ooks like I'm staying off LA Under as MIA/CLE came up just short.:(

- Jon
