Reposted by Peter CarlsonRichard Cohen @richardcohen.bsky.social · 7hGiven one of the pre-game storylines was "Oh no, they're having to play in the small arena and the prices are insanely high as a result!" it's disappointing how many empty seats there clearly are at CareFirst. Maybe sell to people with a Mystics buying record at sane prices and they'd show up. #WNBA 1203
Reposted by Peter CarlsonTyler Byrum @thetylerbyrum.bsky.social · 7hFamous Mystics fan, known as "Brick Guy" to many, was ejected from Capital One Arena in the Mystics' last home game. And tonight, the home crowd echoed his iconic free-throw chant as an ode to him at the first opportunity. What a fan base. 0112
Peter Carlson @peterdcarlson.bsky.social · 7hDeeply embarrassing that the Mystics are playing their first home playoff game since the 2019 championship run in 4200 seat Carefirst Arena. All other WNBA playoff games this year have been in arenas with like triple that capacity or more. 030
Reposted by Peter CarlsonJenn Hatfield @jennhatfield.bsky.social · 8hMystics coach Sydney Johnson expressed his disappointment about this pregame. In light of the Mystics not picking up any #WNBA awards so far, he asked rhetorically how they got here if they don't have good coaches or players. "Somebody help me figure this out." @theixsports.bsky.social 1134
Peter Carlson @peterdcarlson.bsky.social · 8hKeys to the game for the Mystics: 1. limit turnovers. 15 or less and they have a shot 2. Transition defense 3. Need BLH or McMahon to give a few good possessions on offense. 4. Avoid fouling. Keep Dream under 20 FTA to win 5. Make free throws 100
