lol I haven’t said it yet but Queen Lauren has spoken. The cream we know and love. The Young Hos

[Bird’s Eye View @BEVpod_]

Lauren getting Sue in the know 😂

[Mystics Report @MysticsReport]

@Jessica04655610 A lot of Fever players have a future starring in a Tubi movie

[Mystics Report @MysticsReport]

Final thoughts:
Love seeing the competing edge all around. Caitlin getting mad at the coaches when she felt like she was sitting too long was cool to see.

Lauren Betts you’re my hero.

Go Mystics

Postgame thread of the Indiana Fever vs Washington Mystics.

The Caitlin Clark signature moment happened yet again… this time with a win against us.

Cotie went for the steal and was so close. Instincts probably took over there but that’s Caitlin’s range and probably felt like a warm up shot

[Mystics Report @MysticsReport]

Georgia Amoore made it rain tonight!!! That is exactly what I want to see from her. She looked confident and I wish she would’ve come away with the game winning assist

[Mystics Report @MysticsReport]

As Kiki yelled to the team… BOX OUT. Losing the rebounding battle 42-26 isn’t going to cut it. Lauren got some additional minutes and just finished with 1. She was questionable with an illness prior to the game but it’s something I’m watching. Angela Dugalic finished with 9 at least.

Frustrated today, but we’ve got the Fever coming up on Monday and I think we’ll bounce back for another thriller.

Postgame thread of the Atlanta Dream vs the Washington Mystics.

Mood watching that was the Sydney Johnson crash out.

Atlanta gave us a 30 piece extra spicy 🌶️

Point guard report:

I’m happy Florez got the contract but I noted the 3 ball has to improve because she was shooting 8% on the season. Today she was 1-7 from the field with zero assists and 4 turnovers.

Georgia Amoore shooting once the entire game just isn’t the formula. It is really hard to return from injury, I wish we had more information about how she’s feeling because it’s just not the Georgia I’m used to.

[Mystics Report @MysticsReport]

Alicia Flórez is a creative/crafty guard and I like watching her get after it on defense. She got here late, but the 8.3% 3pt shooting has to improve for her to unlock this offense.

She seems to be so well liked in the locker room & apparently is Kiki’s favorite teammate. I just know the team is going to celebrate this with her!

Georgia, Alicia, and Rori. I like each of their games and I’m wondering.. who will emerge as the top choice?

[Mystics Report @MysticsReport]

Kiki does exactly what you’ve mentioned here, I love her motor.
I disagree with your point about the practice reps. In my opinion it’s an awareness/vision issue (it’s so early for this group and it takes time). I see the same happen with Kiki but not as often. The frustration comes when she’s got excellent positioning on the block where she can go right up & she doesn’t get it. Her catches are further out. I’ll do a thread on all of this once I see more. I do agree she’s got to get stronger

3 quick thoughts for the Washington Mystics vs Chicago Sky game tonight:

Did the broadcast pick up multiple chants for Rori Harmon? It happened around 4 minutes and 10 seconds in the 4th. She’s got LOVE in DC.

I was worried about how the offense would look without Soni but Cotie came in and did a nice job and we got a blowout win vs a team we have a pick swap with ;)

Lauren Betts still isn’t receiving those easy entry pass opportunities and I saw her get frustrated out there. It’s going to be all over film, I hope we can get her the rock when she seals like that.

Go Mystics!

[Mystics Report @MysticsReport]

@syd_m02 Thanks for letting me know! It started out with like 2 people randomly yelling at Coach to put Rori in & then it caught on and so many people joined in. You rock 🎸

[Mystics Report @MysticsReport]

@MolnarTony That’s correct! The Jacy Sheldon trade took care of that one. It looks like it��ll be a good class too, definitely excited about what that could be

[Mystics Report @MysticsReport]

When Megan Gustafson finished her career at Iowa, she left as the most decorated Hawkeye ever:

🏆2019 National Player of the Year
🏀 1st post player in NCAA history to drop 1,000+ points in a season
📖 Iowa’s all-time leader in points & rebounds (at the time)

Her WNBA career has been stints on different teams with a limited role.

Yesterday in a win against the Indiana Fever, she was a starter and had 22pts while shooting 100% from the field.

Love so much what I’m seeing from the Fire and admittedly I was a skeptic myself.

[Mystics Report @MysticsReport]

I’ve been so intrigued by the Portland Fire.

There’s players like Megan Gustafson who embody who they are. Overlooked, have something to prove, and unique journeys. Seeing her cry about never being respected until she got there hit me hard.

[Mystics News @MysticsNews]

For the 2nd straight game, Olsen, Wilson (3rd straight) & Harmon were DNP. Olsen and Harmon combined for just 7 min 3 games ago.

Mystics need to choose to either develop these young players by playing them or replace them with players that can aid the development of the core. 🧵

[Mystics Report @MysticsReport]

Got floor seats tonight. It was such a fun experience and I truly feel like we had no business losing that game.

No Plum, we’re fully healthy, there’s just something missing.

No super deep analysis today but I think Cotie has to play more and I’m tired of the opposing pgs getting busy against us. I know you have to give up something but dang.

Also as we all know we have incredible fans, gotta stick with it

[Mystics Report @MysticsReport]

@UnderdogWNBA I genuinely thought it was gonna be Kneepkens. Kinda glad it isn’t, I want her and Char to stay together!
