The Wings should be better than they are, but they're not finishing games and they've already lost to the Mercury this season. The Mercury are getting better defensively and a run for them is coming. There's too much top end talent for the Mercury to continue these inconsistent results. The Mercury are a legit title contending team this season. I'll lay the bucket at home.
