2023 WNBA Discussion and Betting

[danherbias07]

My prediction happened and that's for Williams to be an offensive weapon again but it's not enough because other players didn't have the same night.
They all need to contribute to achieving a win, especially on the defensive end. I didn't see that in Game 2.

Game 3 will be Connecticut Sun home and I hope this will boost their confidence back as the fans will be on their side.
Last chance, play harder, every play and second counts or they will be missing a big opportunity to be a champion. Put the series at 5.

This is the finals and the Connecticut Sun better pull themselves together, they can not afford to be Sweep by the Las Vegas Aces In the finals, so I think they will not let this 3rd game be a win for the Aces, but a win for them, I would also go for the Connecticut Sun, I know that 1 more win for the Las Vegas Aces and they will surely be won here and they surely don't feel pressure anymore while the Connecticut Sun needs to be ready for this and prepare for their revenge,

Connecticut Sun VS Las Vegas Aces

Pretty much the Aces are on the last game now, they will eventually go with the same strategy because it is really effective for the Sun, while the Sun is really struggling to make a comeback I think the other players would likely need their impact with the game, because Courtney Williams can not handle it alone, but I think this is it, I will be risking it for the Connecticut Sun 1 last time,

They needed to boost their confidence and fought back,

it will be a big shame to their team if they will allow Aces to beat them in front of their home crowd, they needed to work together and play as a team on both offense and defense it will be a big factor if they will start strong and maintain the same momentum, allowing Aces to dominates might end this series.

A big adjustment is necessary. They cannot do the same thing as they did in Games 1 and 2. Something must be done, there must be a weakness that they need to take advantage of in the Aces team. It's not like they are a super team. They are just better at both ends of the floor but there's always a solution for it.
As I said before, I will put all my bets on the Connecticut Sun in this series, and now I am going double the amount chasing my losses.

They sure do. A lot of confidence.
It's also the shame of a sweep that will not look good in the records. They need to fight back.

This is my take on Las Vegas Aces vs Connecticut Sun

Now that the Finals is on the homecourt of Connecticut Sun, most are expecting that the Sun will win this game. But they are not giving enough credit for the Aces' ability to win on the road.

Game 2 has shown that Connecticut is no match against Las Vegas. Plum has shown that she does not need help or screens to beat Williams or Bonner off the bounce. Connecticut cannot even leverage its size as they are fought hard by the Aces on the board. With a bigger lineup, they have minimal outside shooting. And the scary part is, the Aces are shooting poorly behind the 3-point line. They are 36.1% in 3 points territory in the regular season, but they are just shooting 23% in this series. If their 3 points start hitting, the Suns will not have enough firepower to match the Aces and its game over.

I believe that the Aces will take this one and get their first WNBA Championship. Good luck with your bets!

[danherbias07]

Magnificent! Yes, that's the right word for it.
Perfect offensive execution and the defensive level was above the roof. Great performance by the Connecticut Sun.
They got their confidence back and that's all thanks to the fans supporting them on their home court. Road to Game 5. One more win.

Alyssa Thomas made a record of reaching the first triple-double in the WNBA Finals.  16/15/11
I like the strategy, use the guards to attack at the start to exhaust the Aces then at the end use Jonquel Jones to dominate the paint while they are all depleted in stamina.

Didn't watch the game but by looking at that final score I can say that the adjustment Sun made in today's game

is really magnificent, just like what I mentioned from my last post, a team effort from both defense and offense and with the
help of the home crowd, they will be boosted.

For sure, there are many satisfying fans and gamblers who back up the Suns today. That handicap is really tempting
and very well-covered. Congrats to all the winner!

Yes, you predicted it right, what they need is a "boost of confidence" and they received it.
It made their night so perfect that they were able to put the Aces in a blowout game. I was stunned too at how better their ball rotation is unlike the first 2 games. I mean, I am sure they can win but not that heavy.

For sure, there are many satisfying fans and gamblers who back up the Suns today. That handicap is really tempting
and very well-covered. Congrats to all the winner!

Indeed, they are surely satisfied.
Before I took the bet of -1.5 for the Sun, I was also tempted to take the "win by 11+" bet but I didn't follow my instincts. IIRC, it was x4.50 if you take that bet which will be more satisfying if won.

And they have done it, they have double no triple that adjustment and have made a big comeback and right now I am seeing large numbers on most players on the Connecticut Sun, this time Jonquel Jones has the upper lead score, while Alyssa Thomas a triple-double is a great performance for her, it was an amazing game for the Connecticut Sun,

It was really an amazing game for the Connecticut Sun, and a brilliant game strategy, that lead to a whopping 29 lead score against the Las Vegas Aces, Alyssa Thomas was really something and as you have said the 1st Triple-double in the WNBA, who said watching this basketball game could be this exciting, that was truly a one play to turn the tables until the next game, that is why I can not wait for the next game results,


Here is the result for the game yesterday,

Connecticut Sun VS Las Vegas Aces SCORE 105 - 76 - WIN

Pretty much got back all my losses on the 1st 2 games, it wasn't expected that Alyssa Thomas could get a triple-double for this game of 15 rebounds, 11 Assist, and 16 points, while the other players have made a great job in getting double digit point a game that will never be on the history of the WNBA,

[jakelyson]

My prediction for that game was dead wrong. I think I overestimated the offensive power of the Aces and their ability to win on the road. Both my bets were punished with a loss.

The Suns proved that the home crowd can ignite them. Their defense is everywhere. They controlled the glass, rotated to take away open shots, and jump passing lanes. Their energy is far above what they have shown early in this series.

They have implemented a very effective adjustment as well. They found how to control the offensive prowess of Chelsea Gray by assigning Dewanna Bonner to her and it worked. Gray was limited to 11 points.

I am now excited to see how the Aces will counter the adjustment Suns implemented in this game.

Don't beat yourself about it, this is really an unpredictable game indeed, anything can surely happen, but the Connecticut Sun doesn't need any mistake now because one last win for the Aces and it is all over, but the Connecticut Sun will eventually need to keep the pace, and put up a show and to not exposing their weakness on this adjustment because if the Las Vegas Aces could read this aswell then it is all over for the Sun, and as you have said the Connecticut Sun have really implemented a great counter for the Ace, or the home crowd could be also a source to improve their performance, but there are still 2 more games and after that, the finals are over,


Now my prediction and pick for tomorrow's game for the WNBA 2022

Connecticut Sun VS Las Vegas Aces (ACES Leads 1 - 2)

Stake odds for this game are 1.91 for the Sun, while 1.79 for the Aces, If the Connecticut Sun would keep this play style like this, and have Dewanna Bonner guard Chelsea Gray, Alyssa Thomas will give all the possible scores to the defensive players I think this really reserves some of their key player for last minute play, and if Thomas from the Sun could make a triple-double or a double-double performance for the next game they, I think they will surely win this again, but If the Las Vegas Aces could have their answer against the play of the Sun and have some counter to it then there is a case that the Aces could win the Finals but I am still positive with the Connecticut Sun,   

[danherbias07]

I am now excited to see how the Aces will counter the adjustment Suns implemented in this game.

I am excited too, there will surely be a counter from the Las Vegas Aces and I want to see how Chelsea Gray will adjust to the defensive strategy used by the Sun to put DeWanna Bonner in her. She may be tall but she ain't slow and the reach was also long, if it's transition plays then maybe Gray can get away from her but if it will be isolation she will need a screen to switch on another opponent.

I really wish there were player props as I am itching to bet for stats on each Sun player. 

Now my prediction and pick for tomorrow's game for the WNBA 2022

Connecticut Sun VS Las Vegas Aces (ACES Leads 1 - 2)

Going for Connecticut Sun too, they are still the underdog even after the blowout game. Let's see.
Sun ML. Double the amount again as I am yet to recover from the 2 losses in the first 2 games.
Expecting a close game though.

[Pamadar]

and very well-covered. Congrats to all the winner!

Before I took the bet of -1.5 for the Sun, I was also tempted to take the "win by 11+" bet but I didn't follow my instincts. IIRC, it was x4.50 if you take that bet which will be more satisfying if won. 

I'm sure you understand the game well, but on my part if in case I'll still stick with ML and handicap

instead of taking that risky bet, I'm more on a classic type of betting style, though Suns is really impressive and
they manage to execute will both offense and defense.

Coming game 4 I still go with Suns as well. They are good when they are playing together. I'm hoping to see that
same confidence with their system, rotations with ball and players' movements.

[jakelyson]

I am taking the Aces in Game 4 in their series against the Sun. I believe that Chelsea Gray will be able to adapt against the defense of Bonner if Sun will replicate the same defense they had last game. I also believe in Coach Hammon to be able to address the things they lack and counter the defense and offense that the Sun has shown. The Aces know that if they lose this game, it will be an anybody's game in Game 5. They do not want that to happen and will try to close this series at this game. Good luck with your bets!

[danherbias07]

^Congratulations bro. You won it despite losing the game 3 bet, you came and ended it strong by taking the Aces bet.
Chelsea Gray as we discussed last day, she needs to find a way to get away from the Bonner defense and she did. Finish the game strong at 20 points.
But the talk of the day is Riquna Williams. A bench player who stepped up her game by contributing 17 points in just 22 minutes of playtime. We could say she didn't waste the opportunity that was given and became dominant.

Another triple-double for Alyssa Thomas. Wow.

Aces won and a big congratulations to them. They truly deserve it.

A lucky pick from the bench, something that adds up for the team, it was a close match and Suns gave everything but

Aces really destine to win this title and appears not to let these opportunities to pass. They did everything and adjusted to how
Suns brings that tight defense. A good congratulation to Aces a well-deserve wins, nothing to say with the performance they keep the momentum and they didn't allow the Suns to come back and snatch this game to tie the series.

It's very obvious that they're really eager to win and gave their best to maintain a good performance right from the beginning to the final match. Suns also showed up a promising performance but they had a hard time snatching the final spot from the Aces. It was indeed an exciting match but I'm sure that the Suns will still do everything to regain their title.

[jakelyson]

The Suns gave a good match to the Aces. It was a hard-fought battle. They were neck to neck up to the last few minutes. But when the aces took the 6-point lead, the Suns started to crumble. They were forcing shots from the 3, which was not their expertise. They had few possessions they forced a three that did not hit and some just total air ball.

Chelsea did a good job getting away from her defense. Riquna Williams was big help hitting crucial shots. A'ja Wilson remains a good leader and keeps reminding the team to keep focus even when they are in the lead.

Congratulations to Las Vegas Aces for their first championship. They deserve it.

Congrats on taking a great win you surely stick to the Las Vegas Aces at the very end, while I have to stick to the Connecticut Sun, even though it is risky I want to try my luck and have a good opportunity to win big because of the slight difference with odds, it was not the same as game 3 but despite that, it was really a great game, even though Alyssa Thomas got another triple-double it was not enough and right now Joyner Holmes, Nia Coulden and Bria Hartley was not there with the Sun, and the Las Vegas Aces have really seen to all of their play,

^Congratulations bro. You won it despite losing the game 3 bet, you came and ended it strong by taking the Aces bet.

I was also very shocked by Riquna Williams's performance, and after that game, I looked at her previous scores, in game 1 she only got 3 points, in game 2 she got 1 rebound and 5 points game 3 she got 3 points, while on game 4 she might have gotten familiar with the game style of the Aces she got 2 rebounds and 17 points, this could be another rising star for the Las Vegas Aces, next season, it was really a close game and the Aces just know what they will do, so that's it,

Another great performance for Alyssa Thomas, another Triple Double we might see a Russell Westbrook (in his prime) on the WNBA right now, and I think the latent talent for these female players is showing great potential to progress we can never know if the WNBA will be like the way the NBA has gained fans and surely an audience because of this shift, right now there are triple-double on the WNBA,

[danherbias07]

The Suns gave a good match to the Aces. It was a hard-fought battle. They were neck to neck up to the last few minutes. But when the aces took the 6-point lead, the Suns started to crumble.

Their problem most of the time is when their opponent is in the lead, they start to lose control of the game.
Connecticut Sun needs some powerful shooters. Heideman is the only one I can see shoot and it's an awkward form that takes time before she sets it up.
William is a perimeter jump shooter and she became less powerful when the playoffs started. She doesn't play like that, she is also an assassin but it seems like she lost confidence. I don't know what happened.

A lucky pick from the bench, something that adds up for the team, it was a close match and Suns gave everything but

True. It was an experiment but luckily it worked.
They took the risk and it was a fruitful one. I guess they realized that all eyes are on their offense like Gray which leaves a heck of space for other players. Now they are champions.
