Playoff Power Rankings: Handicapping the Field - WNBA.com - Official Site of the WNBA
4. Seattle Storm
2016 Record: 16-18 (7th seed)
Here is where things get a bit interesting, as the seventh-seeded Storm leap to a top-four power ranking. There are four factors that play into this decision: 1) Seattle enters the playoffs as the hottest team outside of Minnesota, going 7-3 since the Olympic break; 2) Seattle won the season series with its first-round opponent, Atlanta, a team that may also be playing without one of its best players (Tiffany Hayes) due to suspension; 3) In a new playoff format that resembles the NCAA tournament, should anyone bet against Breanna Stewart and Sue Bird?
