The Story:

Dream-Mystics Preview - July 20, 2010 - WNBA - CBSSports.com Basketball
The Atlanta Dream are struggling on the road, and they will almost certainly need to improve if they want to come out on top in a hotly contested Eastern Conference race.

Some articles about the teams:

The Mystics held their end of the bargain defensively, holding the Sky to 61 points and forcing 17 turnovers, but struggled mightily from the field, connecting on just 35 percent of their attempts before ultimately falling 61-59 in front of a disappointed home crowd.

Veteran Katie Smith's contributions to Washington Mystics are adding up
Signed during the offseason to provide depth in the back court, veteran Katie Smith is proving she still has more to give to the Washington Mystics.

She's a monster on the glass...

And then adding that long J to her game is valuable as well…

looks like she'll get a double/double easily

I find it pretty incredible that she’s not even on the National Team.

Well...

It seems that when they were selecting she wasn’t performing quite this well…

True

But she still had a strong second season and players can be later added to the roster. And this is without even mentioning the “hopefuls” for Team USA…
