Game picks for today
Saturday 31 July 2004
Current record: 97-64 (nice performance by the Mystics last night. For their fans' sake, I hope they keep it up)
Houston 71 Indiana 56
Ice cold Indiana visit the unfriendly West once more. The Comets are just starting to warm up and I don't think they'll be willing to thaw Indiana. The matchups don't really suit Indiana and the Comets' perimeter D isn't going to help their cold perimeter platers.
New York 72 Connecticut 61
It's really hard to read this Connecticut team - some days they play like worldbeaters and some days, they look like the team that most of us predicted they'd be at the start of the season (rock bottom in the East). The Sun need their backcourt to find some form again but I think the Libs will take it out after being pissed off about last night.
Sacramento 68 Charlotte 60
Sacramento too will be pissed off and Charlotte don't have the speed on the perimeter to exploit Sac's dubious perimeter D. I think Smith, Walker and Brunson will be too much for Feaster, Smith-Taylor and possibly Powell (if Trudi plays her).
Los Angeles 77 San Antonio 62
SASS have no post defence - end of story ;)
