My Prediction
Seattle Storm by 4In the rainbow world of WNBA, we find ourselves looking at a frolicsome matchup between the Seattle Storm and Phoenix Mercury. The game seems to be of particular interest as the Storm clouds their opponent in a hazy discord with players like Nneka Ogwumike and Skylar Diggins giving ordinary numbers some extraordinary charm, snuggling in their season stats with 16.5 and 16.8 points per game respectively. And let's not forget the supporting troops, Gabby Williams and Ezi Magbegor who are stringing along with a commendable showing as well.
On the other side of the court, Phoenix isn't looking too shabby either, with their top players, Satou Sabally and Alyssa Thomas, stirring up a storm of their own. Sabally's been on fire this season, with an average of 20.3 points per game, while Ms. Thomas has been a real spring chicken, churning up 15.2 points each game, not to mention her whopping 7.8 assists. Now ain't that a sight!
Looking at the tattoos of history decorated on the arms of these teams, past matchups also tell the tale of a close call with both teams winning their fair share, although Seattle’s had the slight edge. It’s like watching two playful kittens clawing at each other!
As for recent shenanigans, Seattle appears to be performing the cha-cha, moving forward and backward in sync with alacrity, while Phoenix is managing to pull off some sassy moves with a jubilant prance, albeit with a hiccup or two. A fortune teller couldn’t predict the outcome easier when the crystal ball shows Phoenix nudging ahead in the overall standings, flaunting a #3 tag as opposed to Seattle’s honorable mention at #6.
You know what they say, when there's a storm, there's a Mercury rising. And keeping all this in mind, as much as I'd be tempted to root for the underdogs, I got to call it as I see it.
