Jordin Canada added comments on the lack of calls [officiating] when it comes to teams being able to be physical when competing against each other:
"I'm going to get fined so I don't really care, but I think tonight the officiating was awful, horrible. I think in the crucial point of the game, when they [Mystics] started to make a run, I think the officiating kind of helped them out, to be honest. I think in the beginning of the game, when I got my second foul call, which wasn't a foul, [official No. 10] Ashley [Gloss] came to me and said, you know what, I was wrong, it's not a foul, but that doesn't help me because now I have two fouls."
"The same call that I got called for, maybe it was in the third or fourth quarter when I ran over Shakira [Austin], when I clearly touched the ball first to get to it. But, it was foul on me. A few possessions later, Alicia Flórez did the same thing to me as I dove on the floor, and it wasn't a foul call on her."
"I don't know how many times Angel [Reese] has to get beat up in the paint for her to get a foul call. It was blatant tonight. Every time she had a fast break layup, she was getting hacked in the paint, she was getting hacked, no foul calls. But the other way, like Rhyne [Howard] said, we can't play physical. Anytime we tried to play physical, it was always a foul call. So, I think the officiating has to be better. For some reason, again, I don't know what Angel has to do. I don't know what we have to do to get a foul call, but I thought tonight was horrible. I thought all three refs were terrible." #DreamvsMystics #WNBA #AtlantaDream
Jordin Canada followed up on Rhyne’s thought on playing through the game, even when things don’t go their way:
“I’m going to get fined, so I really don’t care — I think the officiating tonight was horrible.”
@statmuse The Dream just put belt to ass on the Fever back-to-back, and they can’t even get one starter?
I love Gabby, but how was she classified as a frontcourt and she plays the same position as Rhyne? Smh
