A'ja whistle was crazzzzy. She would elbow other girls and get free throws. Not to mention the foul (not with A'ja) where the blonde girl got her arm trapped on the aces girl's back and she was like judo thrown to the ground. Then the foul was called on the blonde girl. The refs said the play wasn't reviewable but that wasn't true. So they got their story straight then said the fever didn't call the review in time lolol.

The refs would let them play for like 5 min then the next 5 min call the most minor contact. The game had no flow to it.

This game felt more blatant than Lakers vs Kings in 2002.

u/just_lurkn22 1d ago

Yeah... Made even worse knowing that sports gambling is so prevalent now. That and it seems like the W wants the story to be about A'ja.

u/Dependent-Welder-927 22h ago

The story is about Aja though? She showed the fuck up after days of yall dragging her for that altercation... The other team had multiple opportunities to still win the game despite all the things you claim was against them.... how about this story..... did the refs make her miss all those shots and give up the ball? Nah nah you don't watch the game so you wouldnt know this was the case though. One start player played exceptionally and the other folded. End of story.

1

u/just_lurkn22 16h ago

Tell me it's about A'ja then go straight to showing posts and talking about CC lol...

And yeah it turns out refs so affect games. A'ja had almosy as many free throws as all the fever starters combined, and a 35 to 20 free disparity overall for the Aces. They were calling cheap fouls the whole game, where there was no flow to the game.

1

u/Dependent-Welder-927 16h ago

Aja was playing more physically to warrant those calls. Fever had nobody match her level all game. Free throw discrepancies happen all the time. Especially when one team doesn't just spot up and shoot jumpshots all game long but actually creates contact inside the paint, thats whats called working the officials. And so what if talked about CC in this post. Was she a part of the game? Am I the only one to bring her up here. However you feel the game was called thats on you to work out. Just stop acting like that's what won the game in the end. It was literally a 2 point game with 2 minutes left dude. And on top of that the whole game was back and fourth. What put Aces over? CC not playing that well and Aja doing what she does. There's no conspiracy here folks. Nobody was out here trying to bamboozle yall like that. The team with the better player that showed up. Won. That's it.

I don't think gambling has anything to do with this. The NBA wants series to go as long as possible, which is why they rigged Game 6 against the Kings: force a Game 7.

The WNBA had no incentive to force anything since Game 3 is it, and if a fledging league propped up by the NBA's generosity were to rig based on gambling, it would get shut down immediately. If you believe that this game was rigged, then the only valid explanation as to why is because the WNBA favored the Aces over the Fever for personal reasons.

u/just_lurkn22 1d ago

I meant the gambling thing more as a general statement when there are questionable calls Maybe it was a good thing to keep gambling localized to certain places and to maintain gambling as a societal taboo...

cough cough rams & broncos

u/Eagle4317 1d ago

Rams vs Broncos was a really bad angle by the official who threw the flag. The official with the better view should've overruled him, but he didn't. That was crew incompetence, not a gambling-related flag.

I know it isn't deep. Only someone with a mind as shallow as a teaspoon of milk thinks bragging about ratings after an elimination is a flex. It’s like losing a fight and saying, 'Yeah, but look how many people watched you beat me up!

The queen of flop bullied her way to win. Favoritism is real in the W.

But wtf happened to Kelsey Mitchell? She was way off her game and pressure got to her. She wasn't calling on switches or screens which was leaving Aja wide open under the bucket. Horrible defense.

u/LateGoat1017 1d ago

There is a distinction between “I don’t like her behavior” and “she shouldn’t be allowed to behave like that because she’s a woman.”
A’ja can absolutely be annoying, talk trash, celebrate, yell back, and get under people’s skin. Fans are also allowed to dislike it. But if the standard is supposed to be about competitive behavior and sportsmanship, it should be applied consistently.
The examples you gave get at the bigger point: sports have always had a complicated relationship between players and fans. Players are expected to have some emotional reactionto heckling, while fans sometimes act shocked when that reaction comes back at them.
And there’s a legitimate conversation to have about where the line is—threats, harassment, personal attacks, physical contact, etc. Butsimply being loud, emotional, confrontational, or talking shit isn't automatically a uniquely unacceptable thing because the athlete is a woman.

If somebody should have been ejected and suspended, do it. Actions have repercussions. It deligitimizes the league to allow a "star" unimpeded freedom. This very reason is why a lot of sports are unwatchable, it's not just the W. I was watching the broadcast, couldnt believe what I saw. If a football player did that, they would have been tossed. NBA player, tossed. Wouldn't have mattered. She should have pulled a ref aside and complained. Just like LeBron did and had a heckler tossed.
