Ivory Latta greets her new teammates. It looks like I'm a little bit late on reporting on the President's Cup in the TBBL - the Turkish Women's Basketball League. It looks like the Turkish season gets started with the President's Cup, and Mersin - which was swept 3-0 in the TBBL championship last year - gained some measure of revenge with an 86-74 win over defending champion Fenerbahce. Finding a box...

Wrapping Up . . . As the WNBA playoffs continue on around us -- and without us --and with a little bit of time having elapsed since the end of the Mystics’ own season, we wanted to post a few closing thoughts on this season as well as a few thoughts on what’s in store for the future. The BasketCases have been Mystics season ticketholders since the inception of the franchise in 1998. And...

Bummer! Just 4 minutes. That's all it took for the Indiana Fever to wrest tonight's game from the Mystics' grasp. For the first 30 minutes, the Mystics outplayed or stayed even with the Eastern Conference's #1 seed. Washington led by 4 at the half and 2 at the end of the 3rd. But those first 4 minutes of the 4th! Those are the minutes the Washington team, coaches and fans would like to forget . The...

There are a few positives for the Fever heading into this series, including the leadership abilities of guard Tully Bevilaqua (6.1 ppg, 2.1 spg). The Aussie native already has one title from 2004 while playing for the Seattle Storm. Catchings has said that Bevilaqua's championship experience has led to valuable advice for her 10 teammates. The Fever have also received strong contributions from forward...

Uh, pitching mound that-a-way, Zim. (AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta) Marlins 9, Nationals 6 : Giving up 11 hits to the opposition's first five hitters in the lineup is a sure way to get yourself in some serious trouble; such was the case for Garrett Mock and the Nationals last night at Nationals Park. The Nats couldn't hang with the Marlins' hot bats last night and dropped their seventh straight game....

Swings. Every team in the Eastern Conference had a game tonight, which means that all 4 of the teams fighting for the 3rd & 4th playoff spots were in action. And every one of those teams pulled out a win, except for one -- the Mystics -- who lost on the road to Chicago , 86-92 . So the standings-pendulum swung today, but not in the Mystics' favor. The Sky's Sylvia Fowles , who missed several games...

Imagine being under .500 and facing down a 19-11 team that you lost to by 10 points a week ago . Their leading scorer is out with an injury -- but so is yours. You're trying to beat a team that's won six straight, while you've gone 2-4. If you're the Washington Mystics, you just did that with a 78-67 victory Thursday over the visiting Seattle Storm. Mystics' leading scorer Alana Beard -- who watched...

One Step Closer The Mystics took an important step closer to securing a playoff berth by defeating the Storm tonight at the Verizon Center, 78-67. Washington's victory also snapped Seattle's ( league-best ) 6-game winning streak. The Storm may have been playing without Lauren Jackson , but the Mystics were playing without Alana Beard , who sprained her left ankle in Sunday's win over Minny and did...
