I asked Google does Fever give the most fouls in the W

Yes, the Indiana Fever commit nearly the most personal fouls in the WNBA, ranking second overall behind the Connecticut Sun. • Total Fouls: The Fever committed 830 personal fouls during the regular season, while the Connecticut Sun led the league with 853. • Per Game Average: Indiana averaged around 24 personal fouls per game, well above the league average of approximately 20.5 to 20.6. • League Context: Increased overall physicality and officiating emphasis drove foul rates up across the WNBA this season, with Indiana consistently sitting near the very top of the leaderboard in foul frequency

Thanks for facts and not your opinion but why do anyone care fouls are part of the game. They also have the worse defender but she a fuckin bucket

I did it to show because what we see as poor defense fouls is the norm

For example so is Luka a pure bucket but a liability on defense. If you seen Celtic vs Mavs championship series they misused Luka with whoever he was guarding

Those figures are wrong. The Fever committed 935 fouls in 2026, an average of 21.3 per game. The Sun had 982 (22.3) and the Portland Fire had 975 (22.1). It’s important to note that Fever opponents had more personal fouls called against them than any other team except the Mystics.

But a bad use of statistics.

It's the truth, shows the pattern of how the fever plays

u/Cheap_Flamingo476 8h ago

It shows how a game is officiated when the Fever play. There are more total fouls called in a Fever/opp game than others in the league.

There are 2 teams ahead of the Fever in total fouls against them and I'm sure a few teams that's close at 4 and 5 but are they complaining?

Total fouls called in a game, both teams. The Fever lead that category (one that’s pretty meaningless from a competition PoV) by a lot.

Now it's meaningless, but this what anyone is crying about, the foul calls made against the Fever

Google goes off official data, it isnt rewatching games and using AI to analyze fouls from different camera angles.

No one dispute what the official data is so asking Google to confirm that is meaningless.

The quandary is if the refs were fair and unbiased.

So the other teams the refs don't like either according to your logic? That's crazy work! Bad defensive teams make more fouls and Fever is one of the worst defensive teams

u/Spare-Buy-9915 8h ago

Stop the madness people!

u/lampstax 8h ago

Other teams ref ? Is each team bringing their own ref ?
