Seattle at San Antonio

The oddsmakers continue to treat this Seattle team like the team they have been over the past several years - one at the top in the West or at least flirting with the top. This team is a far cry from that and off to a representative 1-5 start to the 2012 season. The combination of Lauren Jackson being out, who has had four seasons in the WNBA scoring 20+ per game, and the aging Sue Bird who is not what she used to be at the point at the age of 32. It has changed their team on the defensive end of the court as well, as this once defensive power is allowing 78.5 points per game in their four road games where they are 0-4. The Storm is always good at home, but is now 2-8 in their last 10. The Silver Stars have suffered four losses, but all four have come at the hands of a winning team, something Seattle is not. San Antonio has played four of their last five vs. the West to the OVER, and with Seattle's defense not what it once was, expect that to go to 5-1. Play on San Antonio and the OVER.
