The WNBA is BACK!!!!!

[ztejas 43382]

Stew is straight carrying these bitches rn.

All 9 of their points in the 4Q so far. (actually has their last 13 going back to the 3rd)

Big shot!!!!

[ztejas 43382]

Yeah that was nuts. Stew's teammates pushing her across the finish line here.

Ton of time left for some fuckery.

[ztejas 43382]

I'm telling y'all - this shit is going to keep blowing up as more folks give it a chance. This is so much more entertaining than that Dallas/Boston garbage. 

It has the feel of like old-school men's college ball when it was at its peak - 80s/90s I guess.

[ztejas 43382]

WHAT THE FUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!!!

[d2o 1602]

BIGGER SHOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Pam Cummings 9603]

Ionescu is so cold blooded for that.....

[ztejas 43382]

That was like Sam carrying Frodo up Mt. Doom after he had nothing left in the tank.

What a fucking game from Stew and what a finish with the 2 3s from Ioenscu.

[d2o 1602]

 

 

 

[ztejas 43382]

She's the GOAT and anyone that thinks otherwise is fucking dumb. 

[ztejas 43382]

Every time they say "Jonquel Jones" I think they're saying "John Paul Jones" and wondering whether it was the naval captain or the bass player that got reincarnated into a thick black woman's body.

[ztejas 43382]

46-45 Lynx at half.

Stew in foul trouble. 

Courtney Williams scares me a little.

[closetohumping 17412]

[ztejas 43382]

Stew is getting a terrible whistle. Kind of cheapening this game so far. 

[ztejas 43382]

6 fouls in 30 mins for Minny

[TommysTinyTowels 785]

Hell of a series. Very entertaining

[ztejas 43382]

Yeah another instant classic. Refs have calmed down here in the 4th but did a lot to nudge Minny into it.

Every girl on the court is fuckin gassed.

[ztejas 43382]

You cannot call that with 2 seconds left in a Finals game. Jfc. 

That was a fuckin joke. Hope NY smokes them in G5.

[TommysTinyTowels 785]

This league and their last second fouls. NBA ain’t calling that. 

[ztejas 43382]

At least the Stewart one - while maybe soft - from G1 was a fucking shot attempt. You see that in the NBA.

On a rebounding foul? That's questionable? That's fucking terrible. I get they want a game 5 but you also need people to take your league seriously and this isn't a good way to do that. 

[TommysTinyTowels 785]

The refs called one earlier in the series on Collier (in the last second) so I guess that evens it up. Irritating. 

[TonyTexas 10492]

I’m entertained 

[ztejas 43382]

So I just looked back at G1. Stewart goes to the basket hard with 5 seconds left and probably gets fouled and there isn't a call. Then she gets it under the basket with 1 second left and maybe? gets fouled and goes to the line. On both plays she's trying to shoot the ball. They were definitely handsy with her on the play where she got FTs.

I don't love stuff like that either - but I also don't love when someone takes a last second shot - is clearly fouled - and refs swallow the whistle.

What I for sure DON'T fucking like is sending someone to the line who is out of position on a rebound because the player boxing out maybe or maybe didn't undercut her. 

Idk. Just pretty fucking lame in my book and a shitty way for a game to end that could have gone to OT. Felt like OT was very fitting.

Whatever they're doing is working, though, I guess, because I'm over here all riled up and am 100% going to be watching G5 😂

Yes.

You know they really wanted that game 5 in New York. Would be nice for the Liberty to win their first championship at home.

Don’t mind another game, this has been fun.

[TommysTinyTowels 785]

Guess I’m just used to the NBA where there has to be a felony at the last second to get a foul. Right or wrong.

Scott Foster taking notes at home like "damn. these guys are good"

[ztejas 43382]

"Hey Silver I've got a few ideas"

 

[Macklemore 2874]

How much more in the hole would the WNBA without CC.

[ChickenSandwich 9805]

They would probably lose less money this season. The private charters alone were estimated at $25 million a season.

[ztejas 43382]

Refs getting ready for G5.

Man this is some bad basketball.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8815]

Lynx with a whopping 2 FT's this whole game, NY has probably 7 straight trips to the Ft line and 17 FT attempts

Edited October 21 by MNLonghornFUKM

Another one coming down to the last couple mins.    This series has been incredible

Ft

Lynx 5 for 6

Liberty 17 for 19

crazy

from the floor

Stewie 4 for 14

sabrina 1 for 17

oof

[TonyTexas 10492]

I never watch women’s basketball but I’ve caught the 2nd halves of the last 3 games and it’s been great. 

[d2o 1602]

Stewie walked there.

 

And I dont think that was a foul

 

[ztejas 43382]

Officiating hasn't been good all series. Lynx needed whistle help to win G4.

These touch fouls at end of games….

not much there if anything

[d2o 1602]

Stewie has been shaky as fuck from the line in the clutch in the playoffs.   Will be interesting to see how she does if she does get to shoot.

[d2o 1602]

Why rush that shot?!?!?!?!?!   You have 5 secs!!!!

Yeah, and Collier has been money.

not a fan of the officiating in this series.

[Derka 6001]

yeah i tuned in for the last 4 minutes and these officials suck.

They called a rebounding foul on NY with 2 seconds to play in G4 that gave the Lynx the W. 

It's been an interesting series officiating-wise. 

[ztejas 43382]

Was that Melo?

Hilarious that the Liberty have like twice as good of a crowd as the Nets.

[ztejas 43382]

I think Ioenescu is close enough there.

[ztejas 43382]

Stew's legs are cooked.

Defensive IQ - not cooked
