00:00 (upbeat music)
00:03 Game of the year for last night.
00:05 Two wins so far for Las Vegas,
00:07 two wins so far for New York.
00:10 All four games decided by double digits at least 13 points.
00:15 J.Y. the Aces remain the WNBA Championship favorites
00:19 at minus 260.
00:21 Liberty the second best price, plus 240.
00:25 No movement after last night,
00:27 unlike the drastic movement we saw
00:29 following the Commissioner's Cup Final on Tuesday evening.
00:33 J.Y. minus 260 for the Aces, plus 240 for the Liberty.
00:37 A large drop off to every other team in the W.
00:41 So it's presumed this is going to be the title matchup.
00:45 J.Y. you look at the odds,
00:46 but you tell us from your coaching perspective,
00:49 how far apart is Las Vegas and New York?
00:52 - Like Usain Bolt racing me in a hundred meter dash.
00:58 That's how far apart it is.
00:59 It's really far apart,
01:02 those two teams are everybody else.
01:04 And when you think about it,
01:05 the main, if you look at the two,
01:07 I would say next best teams, you would say in the WNBA,
01:10 are Connecticut Sun, Brianna Jones goes out with an injury,
01:14 they're starting center.
01:16 Too much is on Alyssa Thomas.
01:18 Now, D'Wana Bonner is dealing with a bad back.
01:21 And the Washington Mystics, who haven't been right.
01:24 And Elena Deledon, who could be honestly,
01:27 could be the most really valuable player in the entire league
01:32 based off the rest of her team that she has,
01:35 and a rookie head coach, she has been hurt.
01:38 So those two teams fall by the wayside.
01:40 Yes, you can look at a team like the Dallas Wins,
01:42 Alistair Trammell's done a great job.
01:44 They have the high octane offense with Satu Sabli,
01:47 Enrique Wimble Alley, obviously,
01:49 Tierra McCowan, Natasha Howard.
01:51 You can look at them, but they're still light year.
01:54 And they're the only team, Ben, remember,
01:56 that has beaten both the Liberty and the Aces this year.
02:00 But they're too far away.
02:02 Their style of play won't carry in the playoffs.
02:04 These are the two best teams.
02:07 If you're looking to bet Liberty,
02:09 I think now that they've lost, it's now plus 240.
02:12 Maybe this is time you jump in
02:14 because there's another matchup August 28th.
02:16 In the Barclays, if the Liberty wins,
02:18 you're gonna see it drop again.
02:20 If you're looking at the Aces,
02:21 maybe play game by game if they make it to the finals,
02:23 or maybe look at series spread when it gets to that.
02:28 - I don't think the odds are representative
02:31 of how close these two super teams actually are.
02:34 The Aces, in my estimation,
02:37 in a title series against the Libs,
02:39 would not be a minus 260 favorite,
02:41 just something to consider.
