National Sports Rankings With New WNBA Simulations

National Sports Rankings has just updated their WNBA sims. We'll pass on these two links:

Link #1: A regular season game. The link is set to Phoenix @ Indiana, but you can choose your own teams. You can play 3, 5, and 7-game series and have a variety of options.

Link Site.

Link #2: The 2009 All-Star Game. Unfortunately, one reserve had to be left off each team, since there is only room for 10 players in the box score.

Link Site #2.

You can't choose teams to play against the 2009 All-Star Team, but with both links you can set up some interesting matches. For example, I pitted the 2009 Atlanta Dream against its 2008 counterpart. Surprisingly, the old Dream won, 89-84, behind Betty Lennox with 21 points and last year's Erika de Souza with 23 points and 15 rebounds.

National Sports Rankings Predictor

If you look to the list of links on the left, you'll see the National Sports Rankings Predictor (by Ed Bemiss) on the list of "Other WNBA-Type Links".

You've got to try it. Input two WNBA teams, and it will not only give you the predicted outcome of their matchup, but their difference in points (the betting line) and how that line changes if the teams switch home-team sites or meet on a neutral court.

Definitely very fun and I'll be using it, fer sure.

P. S. There's one flaw. It predicts that the Dream are going to lose to the Liberty at MSG by about 18 points. That couldn't be true, could it? COULD IT??!?
