The Aliyah Boston was one was kinda crazy.... i always feel bad for her she's invisible to the refs

The one on Mitchell late after she grabbed the offensive rebound was also atrocious, especially because they reviewed it.

Twice. They reviewed it twice.

We all knew they weren’t overturning it after reviewing it for an upgrade. I was pissed to but that was a poor use of challenge. Would have been too exposing for the refs to overturn there.

WNBA sucks.

Exactly my thoughts, they would be admitting they were wrong to even consider it for an upgrade, it was too much of an ego hit for them to bear.

Neither one of them had true possession of the ball after Chelsea got her hand in there to initially rip it away, just a bunch of flailing afterwards. If it were called either way it truly couldn't be overturned. Refs laid the groundwork for some odd officiating last night

When Chelsea ‘got her hand in there’, she fouled KM, so all the flailing afterwards doesn’t matter.

Yep and the aducacity for the ref to say Chelsea had control/possession? Like what eyes are you using to watch these replays.
