WNBA 2024 Season

Brutal game by Caitlin, hit first two threes then missed 7 in a row, most were clean looks. Big turnover late on a
pass out of a double team that turned into a basket.

The traveling is bad in this league. Boston down low shuffles her feet every time as do most WNBA bigs.

I get why they let a lot go it slows down the flow of the game.

The flagrant 1 on Sky's Carter with a hip-check away from the ball v. Caitlin was completely uncalled for and could have injured her.

It just shows that jealousy is rampant in the league predominately from the black players (league is 70% black). They don't have
the common sense to realize how everyone benefits from Clark's addition.

I think it was payback for a flop earlier. CC does a lot of it. It was odd that none of her teammates helped here there.

In a late-game timeout, there were 10 or 12 open seats on the Indiana Fever bench and none of the five players who came off the court sat next to one another.

There was an open seat between every player.

Caitlin Clark had the middle seat and the player she replaced as the team's focal point, Kelsey Mitchell, was seated at the far right.

The job is too big for Indiana Fever head coach Christie Sides.

A troubling problem for all sports: The generational players often land at dysfunctional organizations.

You know Caitlin Clark is complaining to her inner circle about teammates like Kelsey Mitchell, Aliyah Boston and NaLyssa Smith.

Chennedy Carter's off-the-ball foul resulted in one made free throw by Caitlin Clark.

Final score: Indiana 71 Chicago 70.

Dumb, dumb, dumb.

It's funny watching Caitlin on offense. She's so used to passing and getting the ball back at Iowa. Here she passes
expects it back and the offense moves away from her. You can tell from her reaction she gets frustrated.

June 2 Sunday
Conn/Atlanta under 159.5 (better lines out there but I'll record this as the play)

LAS +5

Indiana/NYL under 168.5

Dallas +7.5
I have no idea why Dallas is getting this much disrespect. Dallas was a 20.5 wins team preseason. Minnesota was a 17.5 wins team (lines from Westgate) and now Minnesota is 6 points better? (Given 1.5 for home court).

Just read that Clark had her foul upgraded and Reese was fined for not attending the post game media conference. But I thought I saw her at the conference sitting with Clark as she stated she wasn't going to answer any Caitlin Clark questions.

Maybe the new ball IS making a difference:

Connecticut/Atlanta total: 159
Number of points scored: 119

That pencils out at going under by a crisp 40 points.

Sports, the only team I might have an issue with betting under is Indiana. We know Caitlin can score, and we know they are a turnstyle defensively.

It was Kardoso sitting next to Kennedy, not Reese

Your point is valid. NyL are solid defensively with indiana coming off a back to back

June 2 recap
1-3 -2.3u
Overall
19-19-2 (-1.9u)

On another note the new ball is now 1-4 under the game total. The exception is the horrible fever defense

The indiana fever now have four days off before going to Washington.

Time to get some things together on defense and to also get some rest. If their HC is worth anything she has a stretch of winnable games coming up but if they don't turn things around a change has to be made.

Someone who can develop some fight and toughness in this team as it is clearly lacking.

More plays coming Tuesday

Indiana with two games on no rest so far: allowed 99 points 5/25 and now 104 points today.

They have played a league high 7 games with one day rest and two back to backs.

So 9 games of their 11 have been quick turnarounds.

They get some time off then they have the possibility of winning 3 of the next 5.

It could be curtains for the HC if they don't get some W's soon

I'm starting to believe that her teammates have really bad resentment toward her. The only person I've seen offer encouragement has been Boston.

Kelsey mitchell looks like she fucking hates playing second fiddle to her.

Grace berger hated Caitlin while at indiana and it shows when they are on the floor together.

Maybe Caitlin is a bitch of a teammate that acts entitled in practice and how she carries herself in the locker room. I guess we have to wait for a reporter to report on the atmosphere but I doubt something like that would come out against the golden goose.

I played sports in college and didn't care for some teammates but while in game if the opponent took a cheap shot at them I'd still step up to defend my teammate.

Not with the fever.

Conn -12.5
This Conn defense is the very best in the league and if one of the worse offenses strikes gold today, ok, beat me.

Chicago +7.5
NYL has two covers this year, both against indiana. I believe they are looked at as being a top 2 team but they haven't shown that on the court besides two blowout wins vs the fever.
Chicago has a very good shot to win here

Phoenix Seattle over 166.5 (best bet)
The 2nd and 3rd fastest teams in pace here with the three headed monster for Seattle is starting to get it going on offense.

Phoenix has a defensive rating of 104.4 which ranks 11th (indiana is 12th). Too many offensive weapons for the mercury to defend here.
I will add seattle team total over once the lines come out.

June 4 recap
2-3 (-1.35u)
Chicago with a 9 point 4Q hurt. Outscored 23-9 costs us the cover.

Overall
21-22-2 (-3.25u)

June 5 Wednesday
Dallas +9
Dallas has the size to cause issues for the aces inside. This is a giant number to cover on the road vs a quality team. Also this is going to be las vegas' first game with the new ball so I expect a worse than expected offensive outing for them.

Las vegas Dallas under 168.5

Minn -7.5
I made the game -9.5. Minn is the 3rd best defensive rating team while the spark struggle. Bad marchup

Sparks team total under 75 -115
This isn't out yet but based on the total and spread this is what I anticipate where it will be

Minn LA under 157.5

So any thought on the total? Was 170 - now I see 169 and I sense it might go even lower
