We've got to see where the title odds lie because as teams start to win, as teams start
00:07
to wither out, as streaks are snapped and broken, things start to move around.
00:12
So let's take a little gander at what's going on thus far when it comes to the title.
00:16
You got, of course, the New York Liberty sitting at the top at plus 110 because they continue
00:21
to stride through successfully, regardless of Brandi Stewart being their leading lady
00:26
to get the job done.
00:27
They've got those other characters that are coming in and being massively supportive in
00:31
major roles to keep them successfully at the top.
00:34
Then Las Vegas Aces still hanging tight in that second place spot, plus 340 here.
00:40
We talked a number about how this team was kind of struggling defensively, how they were
00:44
only relying on supporting players to get the job done for them.
00:47
But we started to see some turnaround in their game in the last week, which crucially makes
00:52
them an important team to watch and eye as they try to make that comeback or that return
00:57
into the finals.
00:59
Then you've got the Minnesota Lynx.
01:00
I think I shared my love for Minnesota desperately last week.
01:04
And outside of that, I think that they have continued to live up to expectations.
01:08
And Collier is just undeniably one of the best players in the WNBA.
01:14
Surely behind them is the Connecticut Sun at plus 600.
01:16
This has been an interesting team to gauge and watch.
01:19
We've talked to Coach Young here at Sports Grid TV.
01:21
We talked to Kate Constable.
01:22
We talked to a number of people to see what's going on with this team.
01:26
Is their defense going to continue to be a developmental point for them to be successful?
01:30
Are they going to be able to have this transpiring, inspiring wordplay there on offense where
01:37
they can compete with these top teams that we're talking about in the title competition?
01:42
Shortly behind them is the Seattle Storm.
01:44
Then you've got the Indiana Fever.
01:45
This is probably where we should lock in for a hot second, because as I mentioned at the
01:50
top of this segment, you've got Kaitlyn Clark who's helping pull her team through.
01:54
You guys have heard me go on and on and on about Kelsey Mitchell and how crucial she
01:58
has been for this team.
02:00
But they have made a massive rally to get into the playoff conversation.
02:03
Put this into perspective.
02:05
When this season started, this team was a whopping one and eight.
02:09
They couldn't tie a game together.
02:10
They couldn't rally for four quarters.
02:12
And now they're the kind of team that everybody is fearfully looking over their shoulder at
02:16
seeing where Kaitlyn Clark and company are going to come into competition when it comes
02:20
to playoffs.
02:21
Right underneath them, we've got the Phoenix Mercury.
02:24
And then we have the Atlanta Dream, Chicago Sky, and then the Dallas Wings hanging out
02:28
at the end there.
02:29
Now, the interesting part about the Dallas Wings sitting in that last slot, and we'll
02:34
talk about the playoff picture here momentarily, but they do have an offense that actually
02:39
makes you want to watch the game.
02:41
They do have an offense that picks up pretty well, that plays fast when they want to.
02:45
But their key concept is to slow down every opponent they go against, and it's starting
02:49
to work against them.
02:51
You can have a top five offense, but if you're trying to slow down teams like the Aces and
02:55
the Liberty and company, it's not going to work for you.
02:58
So they're kind of running out of time to come up with a different game plan versus
03:01
running out the clock, slowing down an offense, trying to rely on a defense that's extremely
03:06
spotty.
03:07
And let's give them some credit, folks.
03:08
They have had a number of injuries working against them.
03:11
But you're running into the postseason.
03:14
You've got every team dealing with their own injuries.
03:16
So that excuse only comes in about this much.
03:19
But outside of that, it probably breaks down where the title odds lie and why.
