I accomplished my goal of surviving and publicly tracking my first full #NFL regular season:
• 338 wagers
• 17% ROI
• 99u of profit (5.5u per week)
• 67% of profit from spreads/totals/ml/teasers
I know posts like these are corny but idc, we did it y’all!
Cleaning the Glass splits plays into half-court, transition and putback contexts. Those same easy-to-understand numbers haven't been publicly available in the same way for the WNBA.

Portland shot 87% on Carla Leite PnR possessions vs. Indiana
34 pts on 19 poss. 13-15 FG. They repeatedly attacked Clark in PnR/iso & created advantages at-will out of it.

Total isolations defended so far, per Second Spectrum:
1) Caitlin Clark (42)
2) Olivia Miles (19)
3) Pauline Astier/DeWanna Bonner (18)
5) Kelsey Mitchell (17)

“I don’t know, Liv is just a great player, and they recognize it… chemistry can be fragile and there is no one walking around going “Olivia Miles is getting all the attention, everybody’s talking about Olivia Miles” nobody cares, and Liv notices, and she’s going “oh no it’s for real, their aren’t actually egos on this team” and she’s hasn’t even seen Napheesa Collier play yet(smiles).
