Good for Reeve, saying it with her chest and taking those incoming fines on the chin

[ImaWantad]

She is 100% absolutely correct. "Defender not in proper defensive position" was total B. S.

REFS THAT OFFICIATED THIS GAME SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED

[thomasdonohue]

Stewart traveled long before there was a foul call. During review the refs had to see the travel and ignored it and upheld the foul. Minnesota should've won that game

[mdx]

Not a foul, and a travel that wasn't called when Stewart double bunny hopped before the so-called foul. The refs just stole the championship from the Lynx while the whole world was watching. Gloat all you want NY fans, the replays are there for people to watch over and over. What an embarrassment for the WNBA to screw up so bad at the end of an extraordinary series.

Before blaming others for the lynx loss, take a look at how many times Lynx turned over the ball in OT.

[jontus]

8-25 in free throws, refs are a joke in the WNBA!

[DonPisano]

Ref should be investigated and reprehended if guilty

Refs served up home cooking on Friday so they had to serve it up on Sunday 😂. Congratulations 🗽

Minnesota held NY's 2 best players to 15% shooting. They had many chances to win that game, lets not make the outcome dependent over a single call...

[thornkim]

im not a lynx fan but i dont get the whole illegal position foul call near the end of regulation. Also when jones got the foul she stepped on the defenders foot and fell and was not a foul. She just made a face as if it was. I also thought that was a clear path foul in ot. The wnba has a serious ref issue and its unfortunate how many bad calls there was.

[diananoble]

We kept watching that "foul" over and over. No contact. While the game by and large was filled with great physicality, that call near the end was the most crucial. It essentially handed the game to the Liberty in the waning moments. I can understand the team being terribly upset.

[adizzle]

She didn’t complain when the refs helped them in Game 4,

Congrats

[glenbreton]

Now they complain about the Refs? Hows does it feel? Unbelievable.

[EvilBowlOfCheerios]

New York fan here. I am sorry. We didnt deserve that win. I hope all the refs and officials involved are fired. Again i am truly sorry.

[Watch]

She is 100% correct…the game was stolen!!!

[TianbingChen]

It 's amazing the referees were adamant in favoring NY on such a stage...Will WNBA continue to be irrelevant?

[jie-tv]

The ref gave the championship to NY Liberty..it was a very close and the ref decided the outcome..sorry the ref should be fired

[SkolneyVikings]

This garbage seems to happen in every sport way too often now. It's gotten worse since sports gambling was widely legalized.

[CH-lxpb]

As a coach it’s BS to blame anyone but us you can’t control what ref. But you can control the miss shots the lack of rebounding, the turnovers . Stop crying and play better. Don’t let the coaches and players off the hook. Do better!
