I see special whistle Stewie is at it again. No whistle can be against her, only for her……. The W wants NY to win so they can have another parade. So sad for fans of other franchises to have to play against the refs.

[Pat Hanson @coachPLH]

I see the typical refs in the W are still penalizing CC. Calling fouls on her even the announcers disagree with. And then taking away her bucket on a foul against her when she was clearly in the motion of shooting. WHY??? Whose orders are they following?

[Pat Hanson @coachPLH]

I don’t understand why the refs in the W hate CC? They must be coached by the W to do this. Kathy doesn’t want anyone bigger than her. Trying to get her hurt again this year - no fouls for CC.

[CaitlinUpdates @CaitlinUpdate22]

This is a dumb technical foul…

SHE WAS JUST TRYING TO GET THE BALL

Just a delay of game…

[Pat Hanson @coachPLH]

Special Whistle Wilson gets her call from the refs! It is so sickening! Wilson and Stewart — W has its favorites.

[Pat Hanson @coachPLH]

Oh boy, now I get to watch special whistle Wilson and her refs work over the Lynx. What joy to watch the W— NOT!

[Pat Hanson @coachPLH]

She will never get 20 free throws - the refs only call fouls against her, not for her. The W has a standing order not to treat her fairly.

[Kendo. @Kendostart3]

Give me Another 30 10 game today with 20 free throws for the haters. Sprinkle 5Tos on the W.

[Pat Hanson @coachPLH]

I see the Fever are playing 5 against 8 again! Griner can flatten CC and no foul. Other end, the person fouls her 4 times before the refs call a foul for her. The W needs to address the officiating for certain players and teams.

[Pat Hanson @coachPLH]

Love her!

[Indiana Fever @IndianaFever]

THIS BLOCK 😳

Myisha Hines-Allen with a NASTY denial 🫣

[Pat Hanson @coachPLH]

I just don’t understand why the W and their refs want to ruin/punish their top product! This happens game after game after game.

[HeroOfTheDay @Hero_OfThe_Day]

UNBELIEVABLE — Ref’s let Caitlin Clark get clobbered then have the audacity to hit her with a technical foul for being rightfully upset 🤯

The @WNBA is killing their product by destroying their cash-cow & only household name!! 🔥👀

[Pat Hanson @coachPLH]

She gets punished! So bad that I can hardly watch.

[Pat Hanson @coachPLH]

I see the refs are definitely playing for Chicago! My fav is there 42 - asshole! He needs to go! They refuse to call a foul for CC. I just don’t get why the W wants to punish the Golden Goose? Three girls fouled her on her layup and no call! Then, when she complains,

[Pat Hanson @coachPLH]

Double standard! How is this fair?

[HAWK_GUYS @HAWK_GUYS]

Noah Shannon:
-Placed 1 bet for $10 on a women’s basketball game.
-Turned himself in.
-NCAA banned him for the season and ended his career

Brendan Sorsby:
-Over 2,000 bets placed.
-$90,000 in bets.
-Found eligible to play.

Make it make sense…

[Pat Hanson @coachPLH]

This is absolutely right on! The refs completely changed the flow of the game so NY could win. Got the call or payment at half. The W wants the major markets to win…The difference in points on Freethrows and the flow - Fever couldn’t run, gave the win to NY.

[Sports Patriot @SportsPatriotUS]

Let’s stop pretending the WNBA has an officiating “problem.”

A problem implies the officials are failing.

Last night looked like they were doing exactly what they were sent there to do.

What we witnessed was not a few bad calls. It was a blatant, successful manipulation of game flow... and it worked.

The officials did not take over early. That would have been too obvious.

They waited.

Indiana had control. New York could not shoot. The Liberty finished 2-for-18 from three, while the Fever made more field goals, shot a better percentage, and dominated from deep.

Then, when New York needed saving, the whistle arrived.

New York shot 40 free throws.

Indiana shot 15.

Breanna Stewart alone shot 21, more than the entire Fever team... and somehow the whistle kept putting the ball in the hands of New York’s best high-volume free-throw shooter when the game needed to be tilted.

At the same time, Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston were forced to play through foul trouble, which completely changes how aggressive Indiana can be defensively.

That is how you manipulate a game in real time without making it obvious to the untrained eye.

You do not have to control every possession.

You only have to control the critical ones.

Basketball people knew what was happening.

And the box score does not lie.

This was not normal.

This was not right.

This was not okay.

And anyone who cares about the integrity of the game should be asking hard questions about why the Fever won so many normal basketball categories and still lost because the whistle became New York’s offense.

At some point, it stops looking like incompetence.

It starts looking coordinated.

And last night only added more fuel to the belief that the league is willing to sabotage the Caitlin Clark effect before it ever admits how badly it needs her.

[Pat Hanson @coachPLH]

I absolutely agree!

[Lisa Dondlinger @LisaDondlinger]

I love Caitlin so much I am REALLY trying to hang in there to watch for her, but between the ref show and a system that doesn’t know how to let her shine, it’s just not a fun watch.

[Pat Hanson @coachPLH]

I don’t think I have ever seen her miss so many layups. Everyone has an off night now and then, tho. Refs decided this game in the second half through free throws - 40 to 15

[Ashwin @Sudharsan_ak]

Kelsey, are you kidding me???? How do you blow the most basic layup in this sport???😭😭😭

[Bill Mitchell @mitchellvii]

Was this spoiled brat kid justified getting body-slammed by school security?

[Pat Hanson @coachPLH]

Free throw attempts by NY 40, Indiana 15. The game completely changed at half when the refs decided ( or received orders) to be sure that NY got back in the game. The physicality was NOT that different. Stewie still has her special whistle. It totally disrupted the flow.

[Pat Hanson @coachPLH]

NY has 10 more free throws than Indiana and now the refs are planning to get CC out of the game with fouls. The league wants NY - major market- to win. Just like when the refs let NY beat MN in the final game a year ago.

[Pat Hanson @coachPLH]

NY has almost twice as many free throws as Indiana.

[Pat Hanson @coachPLH]

Well, I see the refs are trying to help NY win the game. I just don’t understand why the refs hate the Fever…… is this driven by the league? Can’t have a team that gets more attention than the big markets.
