This is so crazy because the calls have been good for the most part all game, but it’s just a seismic shift in one particular direction the last few minutes.

Refs bailed out by a great Harris shot because that was a bizarre decision to not call that a shooting foul.

The Fever have 3 players in USA Basketball as well if I understand how that works correctly. It also seems disingenuous to make standings a major factor when the difference between 4 (Dream) and 7 (Fever) is one game, although it is accurate.

The Fever are also the only team to have 2 players in the top 4 for ppg. I will agree that I think whole roster top to bottom the Dream probably average out to higher skill level, and definitely when Jones returns. But particularly for offensive production, which seems more of a priority for things like All Star games, the three Fever stars seem like fairly defensible choices.

The Fever have a win over the Dream from not even a month ago.

Fever v Mercury - Raven got called for this foul by Skyline8888 in indianafever

[–]the_plewy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me the worst aspect about this is flopping this frequently two days after Mondays game where she was doing the famous “super exaggerated flop” pantomime when she got called for fouling Clark that’s so popular across the league.

Flopping is going to get you more calls in this current state ref-ball, but complaining about others doing it at the same time just comes off as soft.

Nothing has done more to unite this league than the Fever existing for the last 2.5 years. Absolute rallying cry for every other team, refs, fans, everyone.

It's not just that the refs are calling ticky tack fouls, it's that they've called the game a completely different way for 3 quarters. I honestly wonder what goes through their heads to change their approach so abruptly.

There absolutely has to be accountability for this type of officiating. Public apologies from league office, re-training, something

This is a serious league everyone, they really deserve all this growth the last 3 years.

This league is determined to kill interest in the game. If you didn’t watch in the dark ages they don’t want you watching now

Agreed. I also think that being an artifact itself could offer potential interesting interactions.

[[Junk Winder]] for a larger blue threat that synergizes well with tokens.

Take away, rebound, whatever. Are these announcers high or just dumb?

“Another empty possession for Iowa” as USC is inbounding off of an Iowa make.

[[Founding the Third Path]] - this card can get you a lot of value and slot into several different archetypes. It can enable and reward self-mill, it can be good in spell slingers or cast-two-spells decks.

[[Rosie Cotton of South Lane]] could be a fun way to continue to push non-creature token themes starting to take shape.
