My Prediction
Seattle Storm by 6Steer clear, steer clear, dear listeners, we've got a storm brewing in the wonderful world of women's basketball today. The Washington Mystics are taking a field trip to face the Seattle Storm.
Shakira Austin and Sonia Citron have been the backbone for the Mystics, with Austin expertly nabbing 15.8 points and 7.8 rebounds per game in the last month. Not to be outdone, Citron counterpunched with an impressive 14.8 points and 5.9 rebounds per game. Brittney Sykes is the gloved boxer in this fight, her last season performance was nothing short of heroic, boasting a victorious 17.5 points per game, she's surely one to watch.
It's no sun-drenched day in the park for the Seattle Storm though. Their buoyancy heavily relies on Nneka Ogwumike and Skylar Diggins. The dynamic duo has been firing up the court, with Ogwumike pocketing 17.6 points and dredging up 7.2 rebounds per game last month. Skylar's steep trajectory, bracing 18.6 points and 5.4 assists last month, is a testament to her aptitude. Gabby Williams with her 14.0 points this season is the silent hero, the humblebrag of this team.
The Mystic's have been see-sawing with a balance of 10-10 victories and losses, and stationed at #8, they've got landmarks to visit before they hit the peak. The Storm, on the other hand, is hitting notes higher than Mariah Carey with a regular-season glory of a 13-8 win-loss equation and comfortably perched at #4.
Remember the last time these teams met? We witnessed a real mixed bag of results, no telling prophecies there. One may argue Mystics might have a microscopic advantage from the recent match-ups, but hey nobody in the Storm camp is losing sleep over it.
So ladies and gentlemen, don your ponchos because I predict a downpour in Seattle's favor.
