The Seattle Storm enter the offseason with an 8-36 record and a severe injury crisis. We analyze the impact of Dominique Malonga's 29-point performance against the Dallas Wings and Natisha Hiedeman's 14 assists. Key players discussed include Paige Bueckers, Jessica Shepard, and the injured core of Ezi Magbegor and Alanna Smith.

This episode breaks down the critical roster battles for the 2027 season. We evaluate the backcourt competition between Hiedeman, Zia Cooke, and Azzi Fudd. We also discuss the frontcourt void left by injuries and the need for rim protection against dominant players like Jessica Shepard who recorded a triple-double in the season finale.

The hosts predict whether the Storm can achieve 20-25 wins next season if health improves. Topics include draft strategy, free agency needs, and tactical adjustments for spacing and pick-and-roll execution.

In this episode: Guard Rotation & Playmaking · Frontcourt Void & Rim Protection · Roster Cuts & Predictions.
