Seattle Storm vs. Connecticut Sun Prediction
I’m leaning towards the Storm here. I think that in these early season situations, I’m still leaning towards teams that I feel are the better squads just because I think talent wins out as these teams are trying to gain chemistry and get into a rhythm to start the year. Connecticut will be fine and I’m sure they want to put their best foot forward in their final games in Connecticut, but I stlll think the Storm win this one. Give me Seattle.
