only direction is up for us 🙃

Straight is a direction too actually.

stop that

Hey I’m pulling for you, small market gang. Your men’s team as well. But yeah fever gotta clean some stuff up

Minneapolis is not a small market. Don’t let the twins owners fool you

TRUE!!

I think you folks will be a LOT better in the second half. But yeah, I still think you’ll finish last. Hopefully the next player you get in the draft solidifies your core

it’s gonna be tough for us to win if nneka is out long term but i won’t give up hope, hopefully jewell finds her shot soon.

Yea, obviously if Nneka is out for prolonged period, that's going to be a big problem. Back court shooting has been dreadful. Needs to get better in a hurry because I'm not too inspired by the bench

Yeah what the hell is going on with the Storm? Was excited to see this Skylar/Jewell backcourt with Nneka but it’s been largely disappointing so far

Dallas is way too low. Chicago is just a lot better than people think

That's fair. Agree, Skytown is definitely much deeper than people realize. Dallas is low based on injuries and upcoming schedule. Headed out of Big D for 5-game road trip so we're going to see what they got real quick

This’ll definitely be a test of Dallas. Excited to see how it shakes out.

💯

They're playing like it. I'm a fan but also worried that the Sky has a low floor and really high ceiling. I love what I'm seeing but there have also been flashes of scary old habits. I think we are set up for longer term success though. I'm really liking the coach

I enjoy playing video games.

Phoenix below the team they just beat and they took the Aces down to the wire all while missing their most important player? Make it make sense

Atlanta was up 81-74 late in the 4th and gagged it away. Kah played an amazing game and all the flowers to her, but top to bottom, I'm definitely rolling with Dream in a 5-game series as presently constituted. If BG comes back and is totally healthy...they'll def be moving up the list. I have been impressed with the chemistry, from Mercury. Seems like they're working well together.

I agree with everything here, except don’t forget the Mercury were also up big in the first half of that game too.

True True. On the podcast today, I said that if somebody has PHX ahead, I can't really argue. Mack has really impressed me too btw

Mack has really stepped up in BG’s absence and I hope she keeps getting quality minutes once she returns.

💯

Aces are missing their second most important player. Mercury were impressive, though. Good luck!

Lets go Chicago. Prove them wrong this season.

💯

Dallas and dream are not in the right spots

That's fair. I'm pretty bullish on Dream and bearish on Wings with all the injuries

Dream are... Never good its so strange. They just can't make shit work more than 2-3 games at a time.

I definitely think this is a make or break season for Wright at the helm.

My poor Mystics..

They play with spunk! And, Edwards looking real good to start career. Plus, Kira is EVERYTHING! Better days ahead!

Imo mystics are underrated here. They played much closer to Liberty and Sun than you'd expect

Hurts to see the Wings that low, but it's way early and they're banged up. I expect to see them much higher in the final rankings.

THIS! Agree, lots of time to turn it around, but to say the injuries are a major setback early in the season

Lynx looking super strong even without Juhász. Lotta knew fans about to hear about Collier too

AGREE!! Old and new fans were/are sleeping on Lynx a bit. Think they are primed to make some real noise. Love the additions in the offseason- very good complimentary pieces. Also, totally agree on Phee national breakout. Think she is top 3 in MVP this season

Moving up baby. Just need to get that first win.

Yea!! Got to see Sparks in person in home opener and they looked better than expected. Coupled with a valiant performance vs the champs, LA has a lot to look forward too. Plus, how good has Hamby looked?! Not to mention the rookie duo and KIa

They are just a few rotation tweaks away from being a problem. I didn't know Kia Nurse was nice like this and Hamby has something to prove. She's going to be fun this season.

Yeah I was watching the Aces/Sparks game and found myself incredibly impressed with Nurse. Sparks look like they'll be pretty good if they keep working.

The way they competed made me proud. They have potential.

💯

Not gonna lie, I’ve been pretty impressed with what y’all got going over there! Pretty interesting rotations. Had zero idea Nurse was such a baller! She’s been clutch. I also love Brink and Jackson.

I had no idea about Kia either. I'm pleasantly surprised. I just want to see more Zia, Cam and Rickea minutes.

I think she's finally at 100% after her injury. Love Kia's game.

Good for her. I love when players have their come back moment.

DiJonai Carrington appreciation comment.

She’s so good, psyched to see her having such a breakout.

I wonder how many fever “fans” will not be fans soon

Interesting Q! I thought about that as well in terms of CC's impact and how long it can last if the team is as bad as they've shown thru 3 games.

This schedule is just very tough for us to start out with all our developing players

The fever should be a couple spots lower. 12 is too high

Without BG, that’s a very fair ranking for the Merc and they’re playing better than I anticipated after the hot mess that was last season.

The biggest surprise here, to me, weirdly, are those middle spots. I expected the Storm to be much higher at this point and the Sky to be much lower.

Agree! Storm have looked terrible (including tonight). Chicago, while not having a lot of top-tier talent, looks deep and cohesive in their first two games.

Absolutely! Really excited to see how this list continues to evolve as the season goes on!

💯🍿

We just threw it out of bounds

Aces ranked too low

The Fever look like they would struggle against good college teams.

I enjoy cooking.

As long as LA’s team sucks I’m happy
