Report…WNBA Finals
Yeah it has been a while again since I did any basketball
writing but I am checking back in, first with a look at the 2011 WNBA Finals and then a look at the upcoming Australian NBL season in a few days.
The WNBA Finals will feature a clash between the “never say
die” Atlanta Dream and
the Minnesota Lynx.
Atlanta (20-14) charged from a third place regular season
finish to win the Eastern Conference title while Minnesota (27-7) finished
comfortably ahead of the pack in the Western Conference and proceeded on to the
conference title.
Atlanta features a balanced attack led by the scoring of
Angel McCoughtry, Lindsey Harding and Iziane Castro Marques with rebounding and
shot blocking support from Erika de Souza and Sancho Lyttle.
Seimone Augustus and “Ms Do It All”, Maya Moore lead the
potent Lynx offense while Rebekkah Brunson and “Uber Veteran” Taj
McWilliams-Franklin handle the inside on both ends of the floor.
The team have not met since June when Minnesota took two
wins for the season series. Though much time has passed since these meetings,
look for the overall attack of Minnesota to be too strong for Atlanta in the
finals.
Prediction:
Minnesota to win title with 3-1.
