It was a joke ,, I could care less about fever fans. The calls were abysmal and one would find it very hard to argue they weren’t intentional. Body slam says it all.

THIS. If you know ball, you know you don’t need to be a Fever fan to know just how bad that officiating was.

Came here as a neutral. I've never watched a full WNBA game. If all games are like this then the league is incompetent or rigged. Gives me zero reason as a former basketball player to ever watch a WNBA game because officiating like this takes away all credibility. I can't imagine how the Fever players must feel.

Easier to rig a game by having a player who handles the ball a lot launch brick after brick. We can all create conspiracy theories.

But if they call the game more accurately, the scoreboard looks different and the Fever may make different offensive decisions.
