Basketball was, is, and always will be the worst officiated sport.
The refs were terribly pro-NY all game, and sewed up their gift to them with not only a fake call, but failed to overturn the fake, all that after letting Stewart get away with a 4-stepper prior to the fake call. As a MN fan, you knew the refs wouldn’t let NY lose, right? Been there done that for 50 years now.She also traveled well before the foul.
Worst officiated game since any Gopher game at Kohl’s, at least.Worst officiated gamed I've seen in a while. The Lynx had it won.
Then, OT happened and Heideman and Williams failed the offense.
They should be blasted. That one video is clear proof. A travel and no foul.We definitely ain’t the only ones.
WNBA Referees Blasted For Costing Lynx in Game 5 Against Liberty
The winner-take-all WNBA Finals Game 5 between the Minnesota Lynx and New York Liberty is headed to overtime. However, some people believe that the game shouldwww.si.com
I thought Lobo was fine but Ruocco was a NY bobo.Apparently the commissioner of the league was wearing a dress with the NY skyline on it? I know the game was in NY, but with that, the very biased broadcast and the atrocious calls at the end of regulation, they're not even hiding the fact that they wanted NY to win.
Me too. It was just SO blatant of a bad call.I am still so frickin salty today!! I can't imagine how the coaches and players feel. This one is going to take awhile to get over.
Right!?! that explanation almost makes it worse. Like they had to think up a reason for the bogus call.I don’t even understand the call on the review by the referee, “the defender wasn’t in a legal position is what he said.” What the hell kind of BS is that, she was in perfect position.
Mo Money in New YorkThe fix was in. There was no way the WNBA and their officials were going to allow the Liberty to walk off the court as losers.
It was a disgraceful end to the season for a league that made such dramatic positive progress in quality of play, media attention and attendance. Shameful.
