PHEEE!!!
From a fundamental standpoint it is better for a man to have nothing but be under the protection of Jesus Christ than for him to have everything he could ever want yet be completely without.

Thrilling game, no horse in the race

Like bro, you're gonna take all that time to determine if there was a foul at the end of regulation but you're not going to goto the replay and see who the ball actually went out of bounds on?


Yeah, I don’t get how they don’t get that one right. I didn’t see enough on the initial replays. Then there was the more recent one that was really clear.


Why didn't they spend the time to get that one right that they did checking the final foul call?

It makes no sense. Unless of course you don't want to give Minnesota the ball. They got one wrong in OT too.


Maybe someone has, but I haven’t seen it all season posted here.

Look how pitifully the players are paid. It’s ridiculous, and glad it’s changing for the better sooner than later. That is what it is at the moment though…so think how little these refs are paid.

Hopefully as the league’s profile continues to rise, so will the quality of the officiating.

Near zero hope as a Liberty fan. Lynx had the shorter rest and the comeback on an away court. Liberty have way too much of themselves, both players and coaching, to overcome before even thinking of overcoming the other team on the floor.

That game was so good I needed a cigarette afterwards. Figuratively of course, but also very literally. GGs NY.

Ok that was just a fantastic game. Napheesa Collier might be one of my favorite basketball players (male or female) to watch. Just so smooth.

Man thats tough for Liberty. Had Lynx on a 1 day rest and prep time. Too many mental mistakes with shot clock violations and felt like JJ wasn't able to do much in 2nd half at times.
