Game Thread: WNBA Season Thread

[Mecca]

Lynx / Mercury is for the Championship... no question there. Too bad it's only a best of 3.

Yep.

Funny, it's the same as the NBA.

The West is just elite.

Maybe the Cavs change that next year.

But, I don't see anyone winning in the WNBA, other than the Lynx and Mercury, for the next 2-3 years.

To get a little homerific the Fever are usually better than this but the HC has already stepped down and more importantly their star player Tamika catchings is 35 and only played half the season this year.

Depending on Elena Delle Donne's health (Lyme disease) the Sky could be that team in the east that competes with the elite.

Oh dear god, bot let this thread die. Nobody gives a shit about female basketball.

Imagine that, basketball playoffs happening and a Laker fan having nothing to talk about...who'd a thunk it?

T Catch is one of my Alltime favorites. But, yeah....she is wearing down.

These Ladies play year around ball to make a living Overseas.

So, she is on the other side of her prime.

Elena is a beast.

But, the Mercury and Lynx have too much talent.

 

[BOTSLAYER]

This year it is all Mercury or Lynx, tonight is going to be so much fun to watch.


Added Under on 161 for tonight's hopefully defensive battle

Playoffs ended almost 4 months ago, fella!

Granted, the female game is nowhere near as exciting as the guys.

But, I love the WNBA.

As a Laker fan, I'm sure you are painfully aware of how much it costs to take a family of 4 to a sporting event.

This is the only game in town that my kids get to experience, in person, with any regularity.

 

[BOTSLAYER]

Holy fuck some action is coming in on this game. Line just went from -5 to -4 to -4.5.

Taking Mercury -4.5

 

[BOTSLAYER]

Gentlemen and Ladies HEERREEEE WEEEE GOOOOO!!!!!

Game 1 of the WNBA FIINNAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

 

[BOTSLAYER]

Taurasi looked so pissed running into the locker room up 11.

Griner is so sick. She needs to get better passing out of the double team and maybe her shot creation is boring (face up jumper because she is taller than every body else) but damn she has a jumper.

Sky is playing a ton of iso hero ball and it is not working. Maya Moore with 2 points hurts too.

 

[BOTSLAYER]

Bump for freeroll brag and crushing...

@Laker, take notes you might learn something.

3-0 with 3 open. As long as Fever doesn't win the WNBA Finals I will make at least 1.17u, if that happens I will break even but I am probably not shutting it down.


Even my lean was gold...after a huge comeback.

Both sides have been bet but for me I will pass, lean Sky +4 (you can probably find 4.5)

way too late edit:

Meant @Shaqdaddy

 

[BOTSLAYER]

This game looks like if the Harlem Globe Trotters games were defense and turnover oriented...

 

[BOTSLAYER]

Penny Taylor 6' 0"....forward
Elena Delle Donne 6' 5"....Guard
Brittany Griner 6' 8"....center


EDD should (and is) be dominating against her matchups. I am kind of rooting for Fever to be in the Finals because they will be a easier matchup for Mercury, but I really want to see EDD and the Sky vs the Mercury...and $.

 

[BOTSLAYER]

what a fucking game, PHO led almost wire to wire and are now looking to lose game 2.

They almost led 2 full games against the second best team in the league wire to wire.

If whoever comes out of the east wins it all I will just say I am done watching professional basketball and leave it at that.

 

[BOTSLAYER]

Wow, Maya Moore showing why she is the MVP with drilling a 3 over DMVP Griner.

FOr some reason it is ruled a 2...will look at tape.

 

[BOTSLAYER]

Mercury -5

PHO at home after a loss, this game shouldn't be close.

4-1 and +3u, I love this league.

Not feeling great about the Sky tonight, EDD has been having some back stiffness and hasn't been herself.

 

[BOTSLAYER]

Fowles going off, EDD has played 21 minutes and Fever getting their ass kicked.
