Cathryn NaikerHost
So I was looking at the WNBA standings and I noticed that seats like two through eight are only four games apart right now, which is kind of wild.
But between the Valkyries at two and the Wings at eight, there's only four games between all of these teams.
So there's going to be so much fun jockeying for position for the next like five weeks or so.
And I was looking at this and I thought, Freddie, I would ask you, Who do you want to see match up in the first round? Not necessarily what you think is going to happen or what it would look like if it started today, but just who do you want to see face off in the first round of the playoffs?
yeah like there's a certain amount of destiny there i think the the like fandom and the sort of like like that would be just such a casual series like if those two go head to head that will be the most watched playoffs like w playoff series of all time Like, no doubt about it.
You also have, like, just a really, really incredible, prolific, unique offense in Indiana versus, you know, Carl Smasco and, like, a really sort of, like, analytical, beautiful offense as well.
