It Had To Be Hard for the Mystics to put last night's loss behind them. It had to be even harder to have to play the 2nd half of a back-to-back . . . about 21 hours after that devastating defeat. And to make matters worse, the Mystics had to travel from Washington to Indianapolis the day of the game.Is it any surprise that the Mystics came out flat? No, at least not to the BCs. A 14-2 Indy run to open the game? No, not surprising either. Overall, a pretty bad performance by Washington (on the road) against the conference-leading Fever . . . ending with another loss, 83-51. Nope, nothing surprising about that.
About the only thing that did surprise us (although by now, this late in the season, perhaps we shouldn't be surprised) is why the Mystics' first-round draft pick, Victoria Dunlap, played only 4 minutes in what was obviously going to be an Indy blow-out. Is she not in GM/Coach Trudi's plans for next season? Because if she is, this seems a strange way to develop young talent.
Anyway, all in all a very tough weekend for Lang, Matee, DeMya (whose daughter starts kindergarten tomorrow!) and all the Mystics players (and their fans).
Assuming the Mystics fly back tonight, the good news is that they will have one whole day at home before they face the (struggling) LA Sparks on Tuesday at the Phone Booth. Travel safely.
