Western Conference Playoff Preview: Swish Appeal Is Probably Leaning Storm vs. Mercury

We're not even going to front: we're expecting a Storm-Mercury Western Conference Finals. Then we'll see if the Kara Braxton trade was worth it. Photo by Kailas Images.

SBN's network of regional hubs includes both Phoenix and Seattle so those sites are pretty much the destination for all things Western Conference first round preview.

This is where that whole SBN "storystream" feature becomes really useful. We will continue to link you back and forth during the playoffs and host game threads on Swish Appeal, but for an overview of the Western Conference, check out the following links:

Seattle Storm (1) vs. Los Angeles Sparks (4): The Quest For A Title Begins  (Matchup preview coming later today)

We need to get past LA this year

Our excuses are running out

I'm a diehard Cavs fan, proud to say I never owned a LeBron jersey.
The Sparks? Nuh-uh. This ain't 2008 OR 2009. Storm all the way, baby!

Will be HUGE

disappointments if Seattle and Phoenix don’t advance…not sure how good Phx is but they are (should be) much better than SA right now.
