"She blows the bunny" is a phrase i didn't expect to hear.

[@bipolarfatmanvevo]

NATASHA CLOUD IS GOATED

[@kingxavierlovely]

You wonder how much the mystics kind of regret passing on Angel. Her superior defense, rebounding and winning plays would've made having the "hometown" kid a spectacle. So far she looks like the 3rd best rookie AT WORST, and at least with Dallas you could argue they didn't need a big, and Rickea has shown flashes of being an elite efficient scorer coming of the sparks bench. Angel has just been better than Aaliyah at everything.

[@Al_reek]

They didn't have the chance, Chicago had 2 picks before DC'S first pick, they wanted her but Chicago did too and wasn't going to trade the pick to them.

[@kingxavierlovely]

@@Al_reek DC had the 6th pick, they chose Aaliyah the pick before Angel who went 7th. And like, ,don't get me wrong, Angel didn't have the best tournament (although she was eating in the elite 8 before the ankle injury) so I dont think Aaliyah was the wrong choice at the time, she's gonna be a solid starter for her career, but Angel is gonna be an all star, easily.

[@basketballpolice]

I agree, and they should have kept Scott-Grayson. She is a beast, with a high IQ that not only can create for herself but, create for others. She’s a lockdown defender, a guard who will battle on the boards w/the bigs. Super shifty (handles are 2nd to none) and knows how to win. Waiving her confused a lot of people but, I guess they wanted to go with their “favorites.”

[@nicholaskatsikas4904]

One it’s incredibly early and two she’s only averaging 20 minutes a game on a team with too many front court players and she’s getting no plays called for her like she did at UCONN. Angel is a stater playing nearly 30 minutes a game and her numbers and efficiency aren’t significantly better than Edward’s. Not saying Angel hasn’t been a huge boost to Chicago but we can’t make sweeping judgements about any of these rookies yet as they are all still adjusting to new roles and physicality of the WNBA

[@Anna-bl3wx]

There’s just certain things you gotta look into, Angel is player more minutes than Aliyah due to Izzy and cardosa being injured. She gonna have a better start than Aliyah, The last game she same us about three times at the end and we blew it. Angel Is having a better wnba start than Aliyah but Aliyah is definitely the better player. She was the right pick and y’all gone see.

[@SirioAstarot]

Rebecca Allen, Natasha Cloud and Kahleah Copper, now they have assembled an excellent team.

[@randyh.7782]

Washington Mystics 0-5 😳 Phoenix Mercury 3-1 😀 *#Phoenix* *#Mercury* *#WNBA* 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@user-eh7sy5qr8n]

I hated seeing Cloud on the other team. She was so pivotal in Washington Mystics previous success along side EDD who chose to sit out this year. Strange that we haven't heard from her to explain what's going on with her career.

[@nicholaskatsikas4904]

She doesn’t wants to to play for Washington anymore so is sitting this year so the Mystics can’t tag her and keep her on the roster next year that’s what I think anyway

[@quannquann4578]

the mystics are 0-5 with all 5 losses being within 7 points and 4 of those losses they had a lead in the 4th quarter in, brutal start to the season for them.

[@gregpaspatis9425]

".....brutal start to the season for them." There is nothing coincidental to the start of the season, like that Hall of Fame football coach said, "you are who your record says you are, because this is who they really are(0-5), there isn't anything really that brutal about the start!

[@Middle-L-_-L-Man]

Like I said before, they're playing for Paige Bueckers

[@taraatkins4823]

Same with Indiana. What do both teams have in common?? No veteran leadership. You have to have a mix of new and vet in order to thrive.

[@cuzallen9323]

Basically the Wizards all over again 🤐🔂

[@user-eb1lb4es8g]

I congratulate "Phoenix Mercury" on their fresh solutions; "Washington Mystics" have their own playing, but they strive for stability.

[@MordenWarBoy]

Crazy they scored 12 pts in a minute made me lose my under bet smh

[@Ty-qw1zn]

Cost me 4k, why were they fouling with 4 seconds left and heaving shots up from 40 ft? Coaching staff was calling for intentional fouls with 40 seconds left

[@kevndiaz]

It’s crazy. I was not supposed to when my 161.5 Over. I even turned off the game and went to bed. Then I wake up this morning to see that they got to 163? That last minute was insane.

[@jouzou4311]

35 Mystic feeling the 3pts shooter

[@ostrichwayne]

The Mercury is definitely gonna be a better team this season with that new big 3 that they have now.🏀

[@gavinrey2894]

Mystics +5.5 was never in doubt $$🤑

[@Ty-qw1zn]

Yeah never a doubt...

[@frankyluudy]

i seen that scoeboard don't mess up again.

[@ArtisIvey]

Here frim the Andre tweet 😉

[@y2k293]

Fun fact 2 Aussies are playing in this game

[@surchercastoke4046]

For some reason I find watching women's college basketball more enjoyable and easy on the eyes than watching the WNBA

[@ctbt1832]

Copper has a shot better than C. Clark

[@thegoat6325]

Shakira and kiki played great

[@who.is.kswervo]

I guess we'll get Paige Bueckers in next years draft lol

[@thewatcher819]

👍

[@lashondamatthews2264]

I suggest replacing the Mystics team with the South Carolina college players to improve our chances of winning games...lol.

[@user-mt8jp3hs9m]

Where's Sykes and Austin cause this team assembled is hot gar-barge.

[@lioneljackson7097]

Washington going win only 2 or 3 games for season

[@user-gh6ej8in5g]

Im a fan of mystics but they are😮 biggining boring to watch maybe the coaching stuff is the problim

[@LongLiveMakiyah]

Thank you Washington for passing up on angel. Reese SMFH 🤦🏿‍♂️ @washington mystics and @washington wizards ARE straight clueless

[@halomotto7158]

This game seemed rigged ! Phoenix missed covering the 2.5 point Spread and the total combined score of 42.5 end of 1st quarter both by a half of a point. Half time score was also half a point under the 3.5 point spread. Fortunately I caught on and made a live bet end of the 3rd quarter and I bet on the mystics that were down by 14 knowing the mercury wouldn’t cover the spread. Got my money back and some. Cant tell me this game wasn’t rigged.

[@Ty-qw1zn]

Something was off here. Coaches and players are gambling. They make 500 a game. There is more money in gambling than winning

[@Tripplifly]

Seems crazy.

[@TayGerDragon]

Only CC and the Indiana can make full pack the arena. Sold out tickets. Nobodya wants to watch bully Old Taurasi
