Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Thursday, August 05, 2004

Kevin Pelton runs some numbers to see if the WNBA squad has a chance. Probably not: "Given the USA women's team advantages in practice time and ability, they are pretty clearly the favorites in The Game. A blowout seems unlikely, and the level of disparity is probably similar to that of the WNBA's previous All-Star Games. While the Western Conference has had a clear advantage in talent and has won all five true All-Star Games, the East has been able to keep things close. The last three games have all been decided by eight points or less."

No prediction yet from Keegan, who ended the first block of the season with a 102-66 record.
