Sj55 wnba picks

**sweetjones55** · 08-07-10, 10:00 AM

I am going to take a shot with the Sky -3.5 1H. They are 4-1 their last 5 1H's at home. They have dropped four straight games, all on the road, and desperately need this win. They are playing a bad 9-16 Minnesota team who struggles big time on the road. This is the kind of team that should get Chicago back on the right foot especially with the home cooking. Chicago already beat Minnesota by 15 points, up 11 points at half, and that game was on the road. Minnesota is just 1-4 their last 5 1H's on the road with the lone win coming against the worst team in the league Tulsa. Minnesota in just 3-8 this year is road games.

Sky -3.5 1H LOCKED

sweet, if the playoffs started today, Lynx would be in.
they are surely not playing for nothing and can make the playoffs.

Wow, never thought 9-16 would get you into the playoffs. Thanks for that, still think Chicago gets the W though.

**sweetjones55** · 08-07-10, 10:30 AM

Good luck to everyone on their plays tonight.

Sky -3.5 1H LOCKED WINNER!!

Easyyyy money!! On a nice 4-0 winning streak for +6 UNITS! It's about time I get on a run in this league, was always just a matter of time. My current record is 23-23 for +4.55 UNITS

**jcygts6** · 08-07-10, 02:57 PM

Another great call!

Thanks, SJ. Keep 'em coming.

**sweetjones55** · 08-07-10, 03:15 PM

I am going to roll with the Sparks, don't want to wait on it since the line is quickly moving. Line opened up at Sparks -2 and has quickly gone to -3.5/-4. LA has the advantage in almost every category, points, FT%, DEF, REB, TO, and Bench. The home team has won every game in this matchup the past 5 games. LA was +4.5 in their first home game vs SA and easily won by 10. Vegas has drastically increased the line 6.5 points (now with the movement 8 points). This is a huge sign to me that LA is definitely the play especially since SA just won by 10 last game vs LA in SA.

SA has lost two straight and only had one day of rest for this game with traveling in between. SA is just 5-10 on the road, they had 2 wins vs the worst team in the league Tulsa. LA has won four of their past 5 games and has been playing their best ball of the season right now. They have been winning pretty convincingly also by 9, 13, 5, 7. Sparks have won 3 straight at home as well.

Sparks -3.5 LOCKED (x1.5)

great call on Chicago 1st half ONLY
they blew a 16 pt ht lead now losing by 3, Lynx may pull it out

**Premierr23** · 08-07-10, 03:59 PM

Too bad i missed your 1H play.. you are on fire!

Thanks... I knew they would come out hot to give themselves a chance to win late but I really didn't trust them much in the 2H.

I don't know about fire. I am on a little run. If I can hit 4 or 5 more in a row then I think fire would be appropriate lol.

Just reupping my play for today since I posted it yesterday.

**Ratzz** · 08-08-10, 02:17 PM

Sparks good pick... I am on them as well..

**sweetjones55** · 08-08-10, 03:24 PM

I am liking Phoenix Mercury -3.5. The Mercury have been playing very well lately, last game they had six different players in double figures. The Mercury are 5-1 since acquiring forward/center Kara Braxton from the Tulsa Shock. They are also 7-1 their last 8 SU. The only two games Phoenix have lost as of late were against the Seattle Storm, best team in the WNBA. The last game Phoenix lost to a team not named Seattle was July 1st, over a month ago.

Indiana on the other hand is just 1-4 their last 5 games SU and are 0-5 ATS their last 5 games. Phoenix averages about 20ppg more than Indiana does, Diana Taurasi already said that they want to run, run, run against Indiana (suprise, surprise lol). Indiana had a game just two nights ago and then had to travel a long way to Phoenix. Phoenix on the other hand played at home two nights ago and got in a good practice yesterday. I got a feeling Phoenix runs Indiana out of the gym.

Mercury -3.5 LOCKED

**Ratzz** · 08-08-10, 03:46 PM

i like the UNDER in this game.... (186)

GL bud

**sweetjones55** · 08-08-10, 06:47 PM

Phoenix was just a complete roller coaster. One second they are up four next second they are down 5. This happened about 10 times already in this game. Marking this one down as a loss, down 8. Hopefully LA can come through and make this a + night since I have 1.5 units on them.

**sweetjones55** · 08-08-10, 08:47 PM

Weak 0-2 night, slows down the little heater I was on. My current record is 23-25 for +1.8 UNITS, still in the positive.

**sweetjones55** · 08-10-10, 05:33 PM

I am going to roll with the Storm 1Q tonight. They are one of the best 1Q teams in the WNBA, pretty sure the best, while Atlanta is a terrible 1H team. The Storm actually rested their starters last game in a huge blowout vs Tulsa so I expect a energetic effort from them in the 1Q today. Even in Seattle's very recent two road losses, they won the 1Q both times. The Storm are 10-3 in the 1Q on the road this year. Atlanta is just 6-7 at home in the 1Q. I'll take the + point and roll with the Storm.

Storm +1 1Q LOCKED (x2)

**ANGRYBLACK** · 08-10-10, 05:44 PM

I'll take the first quarter with you. Good luck!

**sweetjones55** · 08-10-10, 06:18 PM

Halfway into the 1st quarter and Storm have 4 points, just pathetic. Coach just took out all of the Storms starters just 5 minutes in, not looking good.

**sweetjones55** · 08-10-10, 07:28 PM

Storm end up winning the 1H but can't cash the 1Q for me. My current record is 23-26 for -0.4 UNITS

**h3da** · 08-10-10, 09:09 PM

We expect too much from wnba lol.. I wonder if it's easier when it's wnba playoffs.

I don't expect that much from the WNBA. Most of us don't know the players all that well and the lines are very sharp. I just hope to end in the + units at the end of the year.

**sweetjones55** · 08-12-10, 01:55 PM

Sparks +6.5 LOCKED

**Hawk007** · 08-12-10, 02:45 PM

Let's cash this biatch!

**Sheep** · 08-12-10, 02:59 PM

Thank you so much SJ...................................... .......

**texhooper** · 08-12-10, 06:48 PM

good luck dude. i can't really get much of a read on this game, might take something at the half.

**Masu485** · 08-12-10, 07:07 PM

nice, on this myself! do or die for me tonight!

**h3da** · 08-12-10, 09:00 PM

Nice call!

**texhooper** · 08-12-10, 09:07 PM

**Mexes** · 08-12-10, 10:19 PM

great pick

I went on the sparks in-play and thanks to that buzzer beater I won more than 1k

is there a videolink to that unbelievable fade-away-jumpshot? I'd love to watch that again... just too nice
