Game picks for today
Monday 21 June 2004
Current record: 41-26 (perfect again yesterday. Go Seattle!)
Connecticut 70 Washington 61
Washington are on a two game winning streak and Connecticut have been a bit unlucky with an OT loss at home and a western road trip which produced little result. While the Sun will find Holdsclaw a difficult matchup, they have a more balanced (and consistent) lineup and this coupled with home advantage should result in a win. For the Mystics to win, they'll need some of their underachievers to show up (Melvin and Beard's offence come to mind).
Charlotte 68 Los Angeles 64
L.A have scraped by in the last two games and I think they'll finally crack in Charlotte. The Sting are on a 3 game winning streak and they're starting to find some form. I think Feaster is due for a big one, against her old club, and I think the plod will drag down L.A like it did to Connecticut. Leslie/TSB will be a matchup to savour.
Comments
Extra points to you for not only picking both results but nearly nailing the Charlotte-LA score: did you unconsciously predict double overtime too? Plod is right (that's why they beat the Sun). I'd pick Phoenix over Minnesota (at Phoenix) by 7, Indy over Connecticut by, oh, 5; hate picking against the teams I like-- hope I'm wrong.

I would never predict scores in the 60s after double overtime. That's just more stinky than I could ever imagine.
