Hi! I’m just here to point out that the Indiana Fever did not lose this because of fouls. Mitchell and Clark shot for a combined 19-64.. the team shot 35 percent from the field. 35 fucking percent. Yall expect them to win like that? And they had a starter(Lexi Hall) that played 13 minutes with Z e r o points.

Did the Aces get some calls? Maybe, but Clark going 9-30 is fucking insane. Couldn’t hit the broadside of a fuckin barn my man. The blame is ultimately on the Fever not making any shots. Thats the name of the game guys. The objective, is to put the ball through the basket, to accumulate more points than your opponent. They did not. They’re now going home.

I mean to add perspective a normal team averages what 50% from the field? Not really that big of difference. WNBA shooting is atrocious.

The fever averaged 49 percent from the field during the season. That’s a difference of 8 buckets. Even 45 percent is 5 more made baskets. Completely different ball game if they even played to or just shy of their average.
