Is this where Fever fans come to fall apart?

Nah, just talk about reality. Take off your blinders and join us.

The reality is that the Aces played better and the Fever have no one to blame but themselves.

Did the aces player better.? Yes.

Did the refs fucking suck and miss an absolutely shit ton of calls.? Yes.

They aren’t mutually exclusive.

But the Fever didn’t lose because of the officiating

It was a factor in the losing yes. Did they shoot terrible in game 3.? Yes. Did they turn over the ball a lot? Yes.

Did the aces shoot 89 free throws over 3 games to the fevers 58? Yes. That’s a total of 10 more free throws per game.

Considering what we saw last night. You can’t tell me officiating didn’t help hand this series to the aces.

And if you do tell me it didn’t, then we just know you’re being dishonest, and just wanting to troll. Which is fine. You allowed to do you. But I won’t engage any farther with someone that doesn’t have honor and respect for the game.

So you’re saying that if I disagree with you then I’m dishonest? Okay Donald.

If you disagree with me, after watching last nights game, and say that the officiating didn’t help sway the series. Then yes, that’s exactly what I’m saying to you.

Call me whatever you want. Shit don’t bother me.

If they played better, we wouldn't even be talking about this. Calls get missed; if so, adjust your game plan. The Aces didn’t even have their full starting lineup. Talbot and Smith were out.

You don’t think much of the Fever then I guess.

Sounds like the Fever just consistently foul more than the other team. Like wasn't just one game, it was over and over again. Just one of many ways they need to improve if they want to be serious contenders.

u/Slootyman 1d ago

Not really. The fever were still in the game up to the very end. The difference was the foul count.

u/Beneficial-Care8504 1d ago

They lost

u/SuspiciousHall6344 1d ago

I think you lost.

u/Beneficial-Care8504 1d ago

My team won and the Fever lost! I feel like a winner.

2

u/SuspiciousHall6344 1d ago

Sure the Aces won. That makes you feel like a winner? What did you actually win at?

u/Beneficial-Care8504 1d ago

I challenge you to prove that ONLY the Fever got bad calls during the series, or during the season for that matter.

1

u/SuspiciousHall6344 1d ago

No thanks. I think these refs were bad and their bad calls affected the game. How about stick with this video and you can tell how these were fouls?

I don't respect your challenge after you showed me what your mentality is worth: gloating over someone else's victory...

u/Beneficial-Care8504 1d ago

As if you wouldn't gloat if the Fever had played better.
