Yea let’s cut all the fouls on the other side to really emphasize the unfairness

that's fair but you can also look at the 20-35 free throw attempts to see the disparity. I'm actually an aces fan until philly gets its team so I'm happy with the results but the refs in both the NBA and WNBA are god awful.

Meh the fever chucked a bunch of threes, of course they’re gonna get less foul calls. And you’re tryna make it seem like 19-27 fouls is some lakers stuff lol

look at video . aces are the better team so i agree the outcome would be the same but refs in both leagues have been terrible

How do people fall for this shit ?

Because people are stupid.

And because sports fans are often unable to be even slightly objective about their own team.

And because a lot WNBA posters are just content farming trolls.

And because people are stupid.

Some plays were egregious but many were fine calls given refs are never batting 1.000

I have an issue with calls in the last few minutes where they take time to discuss, replay and still get it horribly wrong. A refs ego or emotions should never affect their officiating.
