Well that's that.

I'm probably not going to pay too much attention to the rest of the playoffs.

That being said, the WNBA season started last night. So there's still more basketball that I care about! Yay! I got to go to the Mystics opening game and was pleasantly amazed by it.

Alana Beard is currently out for a sore shoulder that she suffered while playing for Team USA this spring. Without her, they still managed to keep pace with the Connecticut Sun (boo hiss) until the end. In order to try to take the lead, the Mystics tried a very foul heavy strategy. It failed, as the Sun sunk (almost?) all their free throws.

I just really adore the WNBA. I love watching it, it's a high level of quality, and it's just so exciting. Being there live is amazing. I loved the NBA games that I went to, but (especially as an away fan) being there was full of negativity. Going to Mystics games is just so positive.

It's so family friendly, and actually just so friendly period. I wish there were more people in attendance, or at least that they sat us all on the first floor so that there was the illusion of a bigger crowd. But even though they don't, it's just such a charged atmosphere. Last night, fourth quarter was so exciting. The crowd got involved, and I just was very happy.

It was the perfect antidote to Friday night's misery.
