Win streak was never going to last forever. Passing was not nearly good enough tonight, or the defense, or the 3 pt shooting, or the defensive rebounding in the second half. Have to be better on Thursday.

Tied 41-41 at half. Our entry passes into the post need to be better in the second half. Vegas fronting hard, and cutting angles. Need to be real precise on them. Lot of missed/tipped/overthrown ones in the first half.
Kiki and Soni doing their thing tonight. Defense really strong to start the 2nd quarter. Need to clean up the passing tho.
The Dave family for Guards who weren't drafted number 1 and who wanna learn how to play both ways good too.
There's a new phrase that has entered my lexicon, and I don't think someones ready for how much im going to be using it.
Been saying this for a while, good goalies are good goalies, some analytics people are just lazy w/ their attitudes towards goaltending.

Naming Kyler the starter before even a single preseason game. No team/coach has ever been more out on a QB then the Vikings/KOC is out on NINE
I've been greatly enjoying getting into the WNBA this summer, following the Mystics making the summer sports month be much more fun. But i'm not sure i've seen the swath of a parasocialism/stan culture reach quite the degrees as it seems to get around certain players in this sport, which is sad.
To this day, Mox is still i would say in the 5 biggest omissions of the current WON HOF, at least of modern candidates. No other wrestler has ever won WOTY 2x+ and not been voted in yet. His business importance to AEW. Hes probably a top 3-5 brawler of his gen, you can get into match influence.
Dave D@thehitmanpunk.bsky.social · 22h agoThe bigger opinion is, I dont think either are realistically first ballot of those 2 (and if I had to argue one i guess I would do Ospreay but really itd be neither). Neither really worth talking about till Mox/Mercedes get in though.
Cade not getting Christmas but the geriatric Warriors do. Also Philadelphia not facing Boston. Yea ok.
Making the case for voting for Dave Batista by just writing "he's so cool" 2000x until the message sinks in.

I'm back home now but this was me this past week if you even care
Dave D@thehitmanpunk.bsky.social · last wk.Me this week:
7 wins in a row for the Mystics, and probably the most complete win of the season. Everythings just clicking for the team right now
I don’t think people realize still how good Sonia Citron is
Finally home after the long drive and see the Mystics do a quick 9-0 to start the second half. Great timing

Richard Cohen@richardcohen.bsky.social · 4d agoSophie Cunningham's -28 in today's game is the worst single-game +/- in a win in WNBA history. #WNBA
As I always say, when the by far least popular league in North America can add even more teams people aren't going to watch, you just have to do it. Actually insane how much of a joke the NHL is 90% of the time.

6 game win streak for the Mystics, but our next practice need to be all FTs, because holy was that a terrible shooting performance tonight.
20 pt deficit erased by the Mystics tonight for ANOTHER win

1) Was a big fan of Germie coming out, but. 2) If Roman finally is playing well AND the coaches dont take away his opportunity, that should just help longer term.
