Garbage officiating and disastrous outcome in tonight’s Lynx game.
Collier out for game 4 and Reeve suspended for game 4 on Sunday in Phx.
At this point, start throwing 'bows to prove a point. The W's reffing is horrible. Can't beat 'em? Join 'em.
When you tell somebody somethin', it depends on what part of the United States you're standin' in... as to just how dumb you are.
I didn't watch the game, but I saw Reeve's tantrum at the end of the game over a non-call that was absolutely correctly not called.

That particular non-call was correct. But there is a problem when the WHOLE SEASON many players/coaches are calling out the reffing, and the W does nothing but fine the critics.

I’ll disagree on the non-call. Did not see it live, but seen a replay of it later on. It was definitely a foul, especially at the women’s level. Though the level of inconsistent play calls from what I’ve read and seen has been inconsistent in the WNBA. And the way they let players treat Caitlin Clark is mind-boggling.

Yeah, that wasn’t a foul and the HC losing it was unnecessary but more a result of all the bad calls leading up to it.
I don’t blame Reeve for going off on this one, that missed call resulting in the injury to Collier was egregious! In addition, nice girl (coaches) finish last! 😉Reeve has always been a hothead as a coach. She may be a good coach, but very bully like.
Find a thimble and that would be the extent of my hoops officiating knowledge but it was interesting to see fans of other teams come to Reeves defense. Seems like an ongoing issue in the league and something requiring more discussion.
Reeves is a hell of a coach and there is nothing wrong with being passionate about having your team's back.

I would agree… it was a foul that resulted in injury your best player. A coach should be mad and stand up for their players. Just Reeve is hot hotted and bully like. We like here cause she coaches in Minnesota. If she coached elsewhere, we would not like her.
The one thing that it seems every WNBA player, coach and fan are in complete agreement about is the utter dumpster fire that the officiating has been all year.I don’t blame Reeve for going off on this one, that missed call resulting in the injury to Collier was egregious!

Looked the play up. Can someone point to a rule that would indicate that play isn't a foul? Seems pretty obvious to me.
From what I've heard, it seems accidental contact, so not an intent to injure, but that doesn't stop it from being a foul.
As to the disrespect toward Caitlin... given that my criteria was something that all the coaches, players and fans agree on, I think that wouldn't quite qualify. I happen to agree with you on that point myself, but at least several of the players don't seem to.
Holy effing choke, Lynx. Ugh. I know MV-Phee wasn't in there, and Cheryl was suspended, but a 31-13 4th??? Ugh.

Very disappointing ended to what should have been a great season. Some less than optimal possessions down the stretch of that game.
Napheesa certainly has things to say. "The real threat to our league isn't money, it isn't ratings, or even missed calls or even physical play. It's the lack of accountability from the league office"
The WNBA is sure doing everything it can to give up the goodwill and gained popularity it has achieved these past couple of years. Between “the commish”, the refs, and general strange behavior toward their most popular player it’s as if they don’t want to succeed.
I found this on ESPN could not copy the link
Steph Curry makes unbelievable full-court heave from tunnel in pregame
Aloha!

”the commish” needs to go. They actually have a watchable product with interesting players a the management is gonna screw it up.
Ant with 2 great defensive plays on SGA and a tough 3 in the last 30 seconds to take down the champs. Wild fan Randle with 4 clutch free throws in the last minute.
The Wolves played great defense holding the champs to 37% shooting (28% on 3 pointers) and Gobert was a beast on the boards with 15 rebounds (7 offensive and 8 defensive).

Looks like it’s gonna be a big night for Ant
Wolves come from 16 down to force OT with an epic 3 from Ant
Denver was up 15 points with 5:40 left but the Wolves come all the way back and ANT Claus hits a 3 with 1 second left to send us to overtime!!!!
Absolutely garbage officiating ruins what was a great game
For the record, as big of a Bird/80s Celtics fan I am....MJ is goat, and think Larry Legend is top five, but...wow:

Down by 5 halfway thru the 2nd?
Making a comeback, and I will eat my words if Wolves win. This looks like the first game, where Wolves come close, Nuggets pad the lead again, Wolves make it close, Nuggets pad the lead, etc, etc.

😬😬😬
I hope @the-rube has his favorite beer on hand to help him swallow the large plate of crow the Wolves just served him. 😉
The Wolves go on the road and beat Denver who had won 13 straight games.
Wolves comeback from 19 down to win in Denver
Wolves Won! Start Eating! 😳😂Making a comeback, and I will eat my words if Wolves win. This looks like the first game, where Wolves come close, Nuggets pad the lead again, Wolves make it close, Nuggets pad the lead, etc, etc.
Wolves have 3 good defensive bigs to neutralize Jokic, Finch needs to find a way to stop Murray, maybe McDaniels?
Over the past two post seasons and two games into this post season the Wolves have the most road wins in the NBA.
11-4 when not facing OKC (0-3 against OKC so 11-7 overall)
4-2 at Denver
2-1 at LA Lakers
2-0 at Golden State
2-0 at Phoenix
1-1 at Dallas
Dante out for the year, Achilles
lol, Jokic is softer than baby crap.

Flipped over to the Wolves game after the Pittsburgh/Philly hockey game. Jokic is a meathead.
Something obviously wrong with Jokic no reason to run full court to confront McDaniels. He’s been frustrated by our big men d on him. Also McDaniels was very good defensively against him in the 4th. This isn’t about some unwritten rules against a late layup, Jokic is a little bitch
So McDaniels called out the Nuggies for not playing defense......and Jokic almost played some D there.

The Wolves without two starters beat Denver by 16 points to take a 3 games to 1 lead in the series. Denver had won 13 games in a row, but the Wolves snapped it and now have given them a 3 game losing streak.
That is a hell of win overcoming both Ant and Donte getting hurt (only 19 minutes total between the two).
Ayo Dosunmu (who the Wolves traded for 2 months ago) scored 43 points. He had 25 points in the last game.
Denver was the highest scoring team in the NBA this season averaging 122.1 points per game. They didn't have a game all season were they shot less than 40%. The last two games the Wolves defense has held them 34% and 38% giving up only 96 points each game.
lol, Jokic is softer than baby crap.
He's 10-ply, bud.

I love his interviews though. Like the one where a reporter asks what he thought about Caitlyn Clark saying he’s awesome.
”We have the same agent.” 😂
Also McDaniels is complete sicko and I’m here for it. Not even a b-ball guy.
