The Lover: Kahleah Copper is averaging 20.5 points per game ❤️

The Fighter: Natasha Mack is averaging 8.3 rebounds per game which is 12th in the league🥊

We all know who the real fighter is though…

I am not sure if I have seen a fall from grace quite like this before. Maybe it has happened, I just cannot think of anything off the top of my head.

How does a team go from playing in the finals to possibly not making the playoffs the following season?

Well, the shuffling of the roster. There is still a good mix of young and veteran players. However, the season does not allow much time for a team to gel and make a run to the playoffs.

The Mercury have a long uphill battle if they want to make it to the postseason. It is hard to see this team down bad, but they have still been fun to watch. I mean, drama on drama on drama.

It is so cool that they are playing on a court with all of the Mercury players in franchise history.

Will they ever return to glory?

Anything is possible..right?
