The Seattle Storm have had a rough start to the season, losing their franchise-record ninth consecutive game on Tuesday night. The Storm have been struggling to find their footing since the start of the season, and the nine-game losing streak is a stark reminder of the team’s struggles.
The Storm have been hampered by injuries, with star players Breanna Stewart and Sue Bird both missing significant time due to injury. Without their two stars, the Storm have been unable to find any consistency on the court. The team has also been plagued by poor shooting, as they have shot just 41.5 percent from the field over their nine-game skid.
The Storm have also been hampered by a lack of depth. With so many key players out due to injury, the team has been forced to rely heavily on their bench players, who have not been able to provide the same level of production as the starters. This has resulted in a lack of scoring and defensive intensity, which has been a major factor in the team’s struggles.
The Storm are hoping that their recent struggles are just a temporary setback, and that they will be able to turn things around soon. The team is still relatively young, and with some time to adjust to the new roster, they could still be a force in the league.
The Storm will need to find a way to turn things around quickly if they want to make a run at the playoffs. The team has shown flashes of brilliance at times this season, and if they can put together a few wins in a row, they could be right back in the playoff hunt.
It remains to be seen if the Storm can turn things around and end their nine-game losing streak, but one thing is for sure: the team will need to find a way to get back on track if they want to make a run at the playoffs this season.
