With the season tipping off tomorrow, I was looking at the 2023 WNBA season. I had a mild understanding that the Aces were good, but I really had no feel or understanding on the other teams. While good teams don't get the #1 overall pick absent a trade, I guess I did not realize how much the deck is stacked against Indiana. Like, REALLY stacked against them. Aces were 34-6 in the regular season, and NY was 32-8. They played in the finals. Meanwhile, Indiana was 13-27, after going 5-31 in 2022. If Caitlin gets them in the playoffs, it would be a big deal. If they advance past the first round, then that would a wow. With all of that in mind, I am predicting 21-19, and a 5 seed in the playoffs. They get past one of the two teams they played in the preseason (Wings/Dream), and are eliminated in the second round by the fighting Kate Martins of Las Vegas.
