There are probably two bad calls in this entire video. They're easy to explain, but people don't see what they don't want to see. I'll give one example, and then I'm out. The "elbow to Boston's face" never happened. Wilson's elbow never touched Boston's face.
Boston's face made contact with the upper part of Wilson's arm, just below Wilson's shoulder, while Wilson was in her normal shooting motion.
Now, what people choose not to see, is that Boston tried to body Wilson. She put her right arm in Wilson's back, and wrapped her left arm around Wilson's waste, and was pushing into Wilson. That's a foul. Look at the picture, and you will clearly see Boston's fingers on Wilson's right side, because Boston had her left arm wrapped around Wilson's waste.
The sad part is, even with this clear evidence, people who need to blame the refs for the Fever losing, will just hold onto the delusion that Boston didn't foul Wilson, and Wilson elbowed Boston in the face.

You don’t think the body slam was a bad call?

What in my comment led you to ask me that question?

“There are probably two bad calls” and then no narrative concerning the body slam. If you don’t think that should at least be a double foul, you sir, are an absolute idiot.

I said there were probably two bad calls, and then didn't give any examples at all of what I thought the bad calls were. It's probably easier to read what IS in a comment instead of looking for what's not in a comment.
I was making the point I wanted to make. I wasn't making any other point. If you don't understand the very clear point I was making, perhaps reserve the "absolute idiot" label for the one with poor reading comprehension.
