Doesn’t say much for the league when a 1st time coach and team of cast offs are running roughshod through the playoffs. She is one helluva coach and that team is so connected. It’s really hard to watch but Atlanta was lucky to hit 50 last night. And she was smart enough to realize she needed to make changes to her lineup after 3 games and it’s worked.

That way you can flush Angel's offensive game (pun intended) at the same time.

If the Valks win there is a really good chance she is the MVP of the series. 11 years in the league with a 3.3 career scoring average. Kudos to her. When she was out of the game in games 2 and 3 Atlanta was going to town. She's played 31 and 35 minutes in the last 2 games. She's dominating Angel on the defensive end. Love to see it.

Angel getting abused again out there. Her zero skill game thinking she can try to dribble hard and crash into people is not working for her. 3 offensive fouls for her plus blocked 2-3 times again. 2-8 from the field. I’m guessing they’ll probably win game 6 but they’re pretty fragile right now, blaming the refs for everything ala Iowa fans!
Eff off fat z. Bet you're really a jealous clown fan.

I learned this last week while watching Who Wants to be a Millionaire...

...Elmer Fudd suffered from rhotacism, a speech sound disorder where a person has difficulty pronouncing the "R" and sometimes "L" sounds, replacing them with "W" sounds.

130-78 advantage for Atlanta in FT attempts so far in the Finals?

Lol. Tell me again how they're not doing everything in their power to get Angel a title?

And she's complaining about the refs.

Too funny.

"WNBA players can be fined for criticizing referees. The league has a policy that penalizes players for public comments that are deemed detrimental to the league's reputation, including criticisms of officiating. Recent examples include players like Elena Delle Donne and Sophie Cunningham, who faced fines for their remarks about referees after games. The fines can vary in amount, and repeated offenses may lead to higher penalties,"

"WNBA coaches can receive fines for publicly criticizing referees. Recently, several head coaches were fined after expressing their dissatisfaction with officiating during playoff games. This action by the league underscores a strict policy regarding accountability and professionalism among coaches. For instance, Minnesota Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve received a significant fine for her comments, which were supported by other coaches who also voiced concerns about officiating standards. The league's approach aims to maintain a level of decorum and discourage public criticism of officials"

What happens next? Nothing.

Has their coach watching ANY other game? Nothing to see here. As for Angel getting treated like no one else, lololol.. Clark has been beat on, grabbed, punched, (some of it applauded by Reese) since she joined the league. Boston gets the same treatment on the offensive foul calls EVERY game. Maybe they should stop calling those since "shes stronger".

They have been ridiculous.
They've been this bad all the time. What's ridiculous is Reese or her coach acting like this is something new. Clark gets beat on, an d grabbed going around screens every game. Boston gets those same offensive foul calls every game. As for coaches bitching about the refs not calling traveling or double dribbles, again has he been in a closet all season. I remember a Fever game against the Liberty where the announcer even broke it down on slow motion replay when Sabrina Ionescu was on a fast break took 5-6 steps going into to score and they called nothing. This has been a topic all season.

Star player and Coach of a star player complaining that they aren't getting a good whistle is not ridiculous.

Clearly that's not exactly what I said, is it. I said them "acting like this is something new" is ridiculous. Both Angel and the coach went on to say she gets called for all those offensive fouls because she's stronger, and basically they were unfair. They call Boston for EXACTLY the same thing all season. Reese made it sound like they just call that on her. They don't.

And by the way, what is the word FUSTRATED? I here this alot
