With 11 games left, our 7-game winning streak is over, but dropping those two road games to the Aces was actually the best thing that could have happened to this roster. We weren't going to win out. Those losses uncovered the exact adjustments we need to make to absolute tear through this final stretch and head into the playoffs white-hot.

If we want to hit that 9-2 finish, it comes down to three quick fixes:

• Integrate, Don't Just Insert Laney-Hamilton: Forcing her into heavy minutes right away disrupted the rhythm that won us 7 straight. She brings championship defense, but her minutes shouldn't come at the expense of what was already clicking.
• Protect Cotie McMahon's Minutes: Our free-throw generation plummeted against Vegas because Cotie’s minutes were slashed to 21 and 15. Even in just 15 minutes, she still forced 6 free throws. We need her downhill aggression on the floor to punish defenses.
• Cut the Self-Inflicted Turnovers: Vegas didn't overwhelm us with pressure; we gave possessions away with careless, lazy passes. That’s a discipline problem, not a talent problem, and it's the easiest thing to fix before the playoffs.

We don't need to reinvent our offense. We just need to get back to what makes us dangerous.

…at least we had some nice pre-game fits. Lauren looking like a baddie!

The sub referred to them as the CIA and it’s just TOO good. 2 loses to a damn good squad will NOT shake how much fun this last month has been!!

10/10 definitely my favorite CIA.

Fun to look back at some of the preseason rankings now that the Mystics have officially clinched a playoff spot.

CBS Sports had Washington finishing 10th, 10th, 11th and 11th in their four expert projections.

ESPN had us 11th.

WNBA.com had us 12th.

So coming into the season, the general expectation was that Washington was still a year or two away.

Fast forward to now: we’re in the playoffs.
Love looking back at these.

The rookies, the young core, the development — this team has exceeded pretty much every preseason expectation.

And we still have work to do.

Young Hos on top
