"Without A Trace." Unbeknownst to Mystics fans, CBS decided to film an episode of its hit series about missing persons tonight at the Phone Booth, during the Mystics' first playoff game against the Sun. Unfortunately, the missing person on this episode was Alana Beard, who pretty much disappeared at the very start of the game. While the FBI (whose headquarters is only two blocks away from the arena) went out on the hunt for the Mystics' missing star, the rest of the team tried its best to stay in the game. DeLisha Milton-Jones and Coco Miller in particular were largely responsible for making it a one-possession game late in the second half. However, you can't play 4 on 5 against a team as talented as Connecticut, and the result was a very disappointing 76-61 loss to the defending Eastern Conference Champs. The home crowd got the message to wear white, bangers were handed out, we were all loud and supportive, but it just wasn't enough.The BasketCases and about 60 other Mystics fans will be traveling to the Reservation for Sunday's game. We hope that the FBI has found Alana by then.

It's the spell Lindsey Whallen cast on Alana 3 years ago in the NCAA Tourny. Alana hasn't figured out how to free herself of that nasty thing, yet. I think she just gets too uptight trying to win and takes herself out of the game. We've seen her do this on a few other occasions. Just have some fun, Alana.
Oops , I've also been taken over by a can't spell. (Whalen) Oh well. Have a good trip I'll be watching from home.
Whalen is like kryptonite to AB. It was the 2004 Elite Eight all over again. Ah.. the (bad) memories.
What's with the attendance? I expected 4 or 5 thousand more to be there. This did not look like a playoff game. I will say the folks that did attend brought lots of energy. Unfortunately, that wasn't enought.
