I have to tell you, folks, this is shaping up to be an interesting match. Don't adjust your glasses or clean out your ears, you heard right. Atlanta Dream has all the elements in motion, a moving engine if you will. With players like Rhyne Howard, whose performance this season, has been nothing short of spectacular, and Allisha Gray, throwing stats that make mathematicians smile, it's small wonder that the Dream is living up to their name.
But let's not be too premature and count the Connecticut Sun out. Comets like Tina Charles haven't exactly been basking in the shade. In fact, Charles and Marina Mabrey have been a bit of the sunlight we expect from the sun. They just need a few more rays to break through the clouds.
Given their past encounters, it can be said that the Dream has a tendency to overshine the Sun. Atlanta has proven on more than one occasion that they've got the canopy to keep the Sun at bay.
Atlanta's recent high-flying results compared to the Sun's less-than-stellar performances, combined with their ranking positions, gives weight to the prediction that we're about to witness Atlanta writing more 'Dream' sequences in their league history.
But in sports, like life, the only thing predictable is unpredictability. Who knows, the Sun may just decide to hit noon. But in the world in which we live, we have to play the odds and they currently favor the Dream. And folks, it's not just a slight bow, it’s a full-blown curtsy.
