LWB’s Predictions for 2013

What better way to start a new year than by making yourself look like a fool with some outlandish predictions? Don’t think there is one, so let’s go.

European champions – Spain. They have the most to prove of the top tier teams after disaster in 2011. French players will be too exhausted after a grueling domestic season to be in top form for their home championship. MVP – Jelena Milovanovic as she will lead the surprise package of EuroBasket Women 2013 – Serbia – to a place in 2014 Worlds.
Either Russia or Czech Republic will not qualify for the World Championship.
WNBA champions – Los Angeles Sparks. They will find that one or maybe two additions to make them real contenders. MVP – Candace Parker, obviously.
EuroLeague Women champions – Fenerbahce. I have been burnt too many times by picking UMMC. Never again.
NCAA tournament final between Baylor and UConn will be the best one in recent years.
Brittney Griner will sign her first pro contract in China.
Your’s truly will be awake at 5 AM to catch Brittney Griner take on Liz Cambage at some point during the summer.
I will be called a moron or will be described equivalently to that for things I write here more times in 2013 than in 2012.

Care to share yours?

WCH without CZE is a banker, after Horakova retired and 2nd PG Bartonova is rumoured that she is not motivated to play under coach Blazek(maybe other players too) and I think Viteckova will retire from the NT too because the lack of motivation there is not enough depth to be TOP TEAM in Europe and of course there is a big minus with the coach you cannot forget :-)
