Phoenix at Seattle

Last season was a lost season for the Phoenix Mercury. They got off to a horrific start that saw them 5-11 almost halfway through the season, and they never recovered. This team is better than that and the points here aren't reflecting that to be the case. The Seattle Storm has been a very good team for the past few years, but they have a lot of nagging injuries to Sue Bird, Katie Smith, Laurie Jackson and Belinda Snell. They all should see action, but one has to question how far from 100% the four players are, and can they overcome a Mercury team that is talented and out to redeem their ills from a season ago. Play Phoenix in this one.
