Looks like there is an 80% chance of thunderstorms during game time.

It's already poured, and there was a huge puddle in the lobby.
Griner's starting. Uh oh.

| Wirh Whalen and Brunson going down the mercury are a legit threat to win the championship,especially if they get the 4th seed.

They'll be "up" by their first playoff game.

Minn & LA are the favorites.but both teams are beatable.The lynx are breaking down,and Maya looks human.Sylvia's not getting the same high percentage shots without Whalen.The sparks aren't as good as they were in 2016,especially the 3 pt shooting.The connecticut sun are young,and unproven in the postseason.The mercury have 2 legit 20+ pt scorers.Griner is the best post scorer in the league,and has raised her game multiple levels.And we all know Taurasi is a different animal in the playoffs.
Chances of winning the championship imo:
Minny-35%
LA-30%
Phoe-15%
Conn-10%
NY-7%
Other-3%

If Whalen/Brunson are healthy,phoenix doesn't stand a chance.But both players going down so close to the playoffs.....

15% is a legit threat? I'd call it a dark horse.

If there was a overwhelming favorite I would agree with you.But since Minny/LA have a 30-40 chance of winning the title,phoenix is a little more than a dark horse.......of course....this is jmo....i'm sure others will disagree.

If you think that Phoenix legitimately has a better chance of winning a championship in 2017 than Connecticut, I have to believe that it's only because you're all-in on the power of Playoff Experience™.

Minny just scored 37 pts in the first quarter and are playing with more energy than I've seen in a while.
