Liberty didn’t deserve that win or that series if we’re being honest.
I agree that reffing absolutely needs to be better, but let's not act like like Lynx weren't the beneficiaries of some bad reffing this game, let alone this entire series.
I'd rather be celebrating a championship than bitching about the refs right now. It's not like the Lynx didn't have their chances either. They were only just a bit not as bad as the Liberty from the perimeter and got next to nothing from their bench and Courtney Williams.
I posted this over on the WNBA board
Courtney Williams went 0-3 FG in OT, 1 TO. She was flat out terrible.
Hiedeman had two turnovers in OT.
McBride had a bad TO, missed her only shot attempt
Lynx had a 24 sec violation in OT
Collier's only FGA in OT got tossed by Sabally
Liberty got called for 3 personals in the final 2 mins, 4 fouls in total in OT. The Lynx didn't get any fouls called on them until the final 13 secs.
The game was physical from start to finish. The bailout call for Stewie was bad, but the Lynx were beating the sh*t out of Sabrina all night (and that still doesn't excuse the fact that she was horrible).
The Liberty gave the Lynx multiple opportunities to bury them after that disastrous 1st half and they didn't do it. Q3 was a 20-10 win for the Liberty. Cheryl Reeve is classless for what she said and a lot of fans are pretending that Game 4 never happened.
Oh well. I hope the ladies are feeling wonderful this fine morning
