Mike Thibault on being let go

Four years out and it's easy to forget how the pandemic changed so much. The what ifs are endless.

But notice he didn't say anything about Michael Winger🤭

Mike and Eric Thibault and the Washington Mystics “have agreed to part ways,” the team announced. Another huge shakeup in the WNBA, particularly with the long-tenured Mike leaving the organization after serving as coach and GM since 2012.

Season Tickets for the Washington Mystics Next Year?

Hey everyone! I’m really excited about the Mystics and want to get season tickets for the 2025 season. Does anyone know the best way to go about it? Should I sign up somewhere for notifications, or is there a specific timeframe when they go on sale?

Mystics-Fever trade suggestion: Kelsey Mitchell and #8 for #4 and #6.

Hello Mystics fans!

I come in peace. Been wondering about this trade for a couple of weeks now, and wanted to hear your thoughts about it.

  1. Mystics get Kelsey Mitchell and Fever's 2025 pick (#8).
  2. Fever get Mystics 2025 picks (#4 and #6), Jade Melbourne.

It seems like a win-win trade for both teams. The Mystics are more ready to win now, especially when Shakira is healthy. While the Fever need to continue building around Caitlin with young players. So that's the rationale behind this suggestion. Kelsey will give the Mystics the boost in scoring and more 3-point shooting to take on the top 4.

She is a free agent who could be cored by the Fever, so it will need to be a sign and trade.

Mystics Starting 5: Kelsey, Atkins, Karlie, Edwards, Austin

What do you all think? Is this a good trade for both teams?

Worst (Realistic) Scenario Has Happened

We went from have TWO lottery picks — as high 2nd and 3rd best odds of #1 overall — to having only one lottery pick (4th best) and one from Atlanta that can be no better than 6th overall as they beat us out of the playoff race and Golden State has been added to the league.

Winning late to make the playoffs would have made sense had we won more games prior to Chicago’s implosion following Reese’s season-ending injury, but we simply are not built to win against good teams yet.

We’ll see if the basketball gods bail us out at 10.4% if getting 1st overall, but man we really fumbled here. This team has promise, but we’re missing a few key pieces to sustainable success — both on the court and from a marketable standpoint.

Genuine Question: What are we doing?

Seems kind of odd to decide to make a late season run when we clearly aren’t built to run with the top teams and when we have better odds tanking for Paige + another possible star to pair with a new young core. I just don’t understand why we’re giving better odds away to the Sparks and Dallas right now. Any thoughts or explanations outside of “you play to win/avoid loser mentality”?

Going to Liberty game 9/17, give me tips

Hello friends, I’m an Oregon Duck living in West Virginia, and I have tickets to take my 6 and 8 year old girls to the game versus the Liberty on 9/17. Were sitting in section 109.

Im posting to ask for tips, parking, arena snacks, memorabilia.

We’re coming to see Sabrina Ionescu as my 8 year old is obsessed. If you go to the game and see the 6’4” 300 pound guy in the Oregon hat come say hi!

First time going to a game and we’re driving all the way in from West VA. Thank you for the advice!!

Bringing Water bottle to EAS

I’m going to the game tonight and just trying to figure out if I can bring a sealed full water bottle or only an empty one.

Also are there water bottle filling dispensers in the arena or only water fountains?

8/17 game

This game sucks!! Mystics look terrible. Low energy play. Low energy crowd. Down by 22 points after 3 quarters. This crap doesn't entice me to renew my season tickets

Season Ticket Holder Price increase

How are the season ticket holders feeling about the price increase?

I was expecting an increase but not by this much.

Does anyone know if they’re giving the season ticket holders better benefits? The only explanation I was given is because they’re expected to add two more home games.

How Are Mystics Fans Feeling?

I'm a Liberty Fan but this Mystics team has become one of my favorite League Pass teams to watch. Not sure if it's a Steph Dolson nostalgia or if it's just nice to see a team that plays hard and seems well-coached and despite a shortage of superstar talent can still find a way to be highly entertaining. Also, love watching Edwards play. She's going to be a solid player in the future. Are Mystics fans depressed because of lose of Elena and Natasha? I can see the team has fallen off dramatically from last year but curious as to what the temperature is.

long shot - tickets to 6/29 game?

Hi y’all! I LOVE both the Mystics and the Aces and would love to have the chance to see them play each other. Any shot someone has one or two tickets to get rid of? They’re $140+ on Ticketmaster 🫠

Emily Engstler!

Against Dallas: 25 minutes, 23 pts, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, 63.64 FG%, 75% 3PM. All the Mystics players interviewed were talking about her performance during and after the game. Very happy for her having a moment and a career high.

I am also wondering what this might mean for her role with the team long term? Obviously this is just one performance so we would need to see if she can replicate and build on today. I also see her career stat line with a career average 4 points and 14.4 minutes per game, and that she has also been working back from an injury last year. https://www.basketball-reference.com/wnba/players/e/engstem01w.html

Does anyone know what the scouting report is on her game and potential weaknesses? Has anything in particular kept her from growing into a starting role after she was the 4th overall pick? Regardless of how she fits in long term, I want to pause and celebrate her contribution today.
