Congratulations, Atlanta
Atlanta Dream: 91; Chicago Sky: 84
The first win for the Atlanta Dream has made me very happy I can’t imagine how thrilled the Dream fans are. They have had the longest losing streak (0-17) in WNBA history without actually being a bad team. Quite a few of those losses were thrillers. I know. I watched the game where the New York Liberty barely beat them.
I think it’s astonishing and wonderful that more than 8,000 people have shown up for every one of those games even when they’d lost ten, fifteen, seventeen in a row. And now they have their first win. Woo hoo!! And w00t! It’s good for Atlanta and it’s good for the whole league. May it be the first of many many more.

I’m happy for Ivory Latta – she’s been playing really well for Atlanta. It’s a shame there wasn’t room for her here.

Me too. I think she’s a fabulous player.
I’m also very happy that we just beat Phoenix. AGAIN. Mwahahahah!
