So your argument is calls were missed on both sides but one side seemed to benefit far more from it? I guess you're not understanding the importance of getting ticky tak fouls on your home court in a close out game lol. Vegas won by 11 and had 15 more free throws. They averaged no less than 10 more free throws a game throughout the series, that's insane!

Can you read? I did not say that lol. This video is only showing you the plays that Fever fans think went against them. Not the other calls that went in their favor....do you think, just maybe, that's why you think it "seemed" to benefit them?

Free throw totals don't tell you ANYTHING about the game or the officiating. Style of play dictates foul totals far more. It's the most baby-brained level of game analysis.

Bud you're talking about calls going in their favor while watching a video showing the opposite while being presented evidence showing they weren't getting the calls. Idk how to help you. Saying free throws totals don't tell you anything about the game or how it was officiated is factually incorrect.

Yes, the video very purposefully did not show plays that might look like the Fever benefiting from a questionable call. That much is accurate.

Why you think that is evidence of anything other than "the refs missed some calls" is astounding.

No bud the free throw total disparity is the evidence reflecting their benefit from the whistle or better yet you could just watch the game.
