I thought the players would adjust to a tighter whistle. So far they have not it seems.

Part of me thinks maybe the league needs to go to a 5 foul limit. But when the opponent can run straight into Caitlin and saddle her with 3 ridiculous fouls then that's no bueno either.

This league as a welfare case has always done whatever the frick it wants and that ain't a changin' anytime soon.

Just for the heck of it, I pulled up a box score from when Minny played the Celtics this past season. Two decent defensive teams I believe, and there were a grand total of 29 PF's called. W officials are a joke.

So they’re calling 53 fouls in a game but just not for CC? Do you guys realize how ridiculous this all sounds? She shot 12 free throws last night. And don’t tell me she should shoot 20. We’re all huge CC fans here but the objectivity is totally gone from some of you. Everything is everyone else’s fault.

I'll be that guy .

Caitlin should have shot close to twenty free throws.

I don't think it's uncommon for other big name players to shoot that many. Didn't Stewart shoot 19 free throws against Indiana this year? Toward the end of the game she earned one when she leaned into Caitlin’s hip and drove on her and Caitlin gets the CHEAP foul.

Bad calls happen and occasionally one breaks Caitlin's way, but it's way out of balance the other way.

For the people who think of us as whiners answer me this: do you not think the three fouls called against Caitlin while defending Howard and Canada were absolutel bullcrap? Especially the two drawn by the weak-kneed Canada? The Howard foul was b.s. too but the league does get wet for stuff like that .

That's why we need the W to rebrand NOW and issue their equipment!

I believe Stewie shot 21 free throws and made 19 in that game.....

Okay, 19 stuck out in my head. So that's even worse then, ofc.

They always admit they grab her in the press conferences. They just do it until they can’t get away with it. They are getting away with it, so they do it. It really is that simple. Not difficult stuff.

The W is crap, I never watched a second before Clark I won't watch a second after Clark.

Refs make it borderline unwatchable.

OT: I believe that Kate will have one more game to play with LA, coming up on Sunday, before they decide to keep or waive her. Hope she stays. The Sparks have just waived a forward to bring in another point guard.
