[Green Chile]

1. Lynx
2. Aces (a pre-season overreaction for sure, but A'ja, Chelsea, and Jackie just seem pissed)

[Ice Man]

I don't yet know enough to enter this contest, but I do expect the Liberty to slide in the regular season. With back-to-back Finals under their belt, including last year's title, they're gonna figure they have nothing to prove. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Aces, Fever, and Lynx to have better records than them, as all three of those teams (in somewhat different ways) do have something to prove.

My prediction: The Liberty will repeat as WNBA champions.

Come at me!!
