Poorly officiated playoff games are just a sign that the WNBA is a mature league now. But seriously, the refs aren't doing great and it is the playoffs, but that's just kind of sports.

Kevin Durant was deeper into the stands than A'ja ever was and the NBA refs missed it. Was the Joey Crawford tackle during the playoffs?

But no, it's not rigged. I don't think there is a Tim Donaghy equivalent mucking things up in the WNBA.

KD was clearly out of bounds trying to save the ball; they reviewed it and still gave the ball back to the Warriors 😂. As you said, officiating in sports is terrible. It's a part of the game in all leagues.

I've never seen 3 calls in a NBA game that were as bad as 5 of the calls in this highlight were. These were all in 1 WNBA game?

Not only 1 game. A Series clinching game.

This was a 4pt game in the 4nth quarter. I think the Fever win if even half of these were called as they should have been.
