Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever Get Started

Level of aggression in second game vs Liberty compared to first. Pace looked good but not ready to be good at it yet.

What does Clark’s game remind me of? How should this team be set up? Building a team that gets on board that this is Clark’s team in the way the Mavs are Luka’s team, etc.

14 Temi Fagbenle getting my attention in a good way: catching passes, finishing, defending.

Let’s look at stats so far this year for the Fever. Click here for Basketball Reference.

Can #17 Erica Wheeler and Clark play together? She started all of last year’s games.

Other WNBA Related Questions and Observations:

How do you like the gray Liberty floor at Barclay’s? What do you like in a basketball court?

The WNBA coaches seem to challenge so much less.

I like sooo much that the WNBA games, season, and playoffs series are shorter than the NBA.

I Tried Sports Gambling on FanDuel

Getting Started…

Understanding Parlays and Managing them on the app

Sticking to the promotions including free bets and matching deposits. The promotions serve as a way to moderate how much of this I engage in.

Placing bets that don’t change my enjoyment of rooting for a team or player.

Game 7 at Madison Square Garden Pacers at Knicks

Hope #1 is that the combination of the Pacers young players getting used to the stage along with another Knick injury (Josh Hart) will put the Pacers over the top.

My biggest concern for the Pacers is that starting with Haliburton the Pacers young players just aren’t ready to win a game 7 in Madison Square Garden.

Dallas Mavericks lead the Oklahoma City Thunder 3 games to 2.

It seems really clear to me that the Mavericks best two players are a lot better than the Thunder’s best two players. Also, with how well PJ Washington is playing for the Mavericks, they have a lot better players.

Celtics

The Celtics are expected to win and that changes how everyone, including those on the team, experiences the games.

There can be a tendency to think you’re supposed to be up by 15 at the end of the first quarter. Lots of people connected to the team say, we’re not winning by enough. This pressure or malaise might get to them, or they might make it through to a worthy opponent and rise to the occasion. Maybe that’s at MSG or maybe that’s in the finals against the Mavs or Nuggets.

Game 7 Minnesota Timberwolves vs Denver Nuggets

Does the altitude matter?

My concern for the Nuggets would be the intensity that the Timberwolves were able to generate defensively in the opening two games and why wouldn’t they be able to do that again?

I am picking the Nuggets because I think Jokic is the best player and his basketball IQ is such that he knows how to play in this game.
