I was watching it with my daughter. Even the replays weren’t playing back properly. We kept trying to see the replays and they’d get all scratchy. The time it takes to complete a challenge is crazy. They need to fire the commissioner and get someone that can grow the league 3X. Coach/train the players on communication and image. It’ll never grow if they remain a bunch of whiny, angry, ungrateful people.
Yet, no one from the NBA, not one coach, no one, talked about The Fever and Caitlin Clark ROBBED from their victory over The Sun in the first playoff series. The Fever and Caitlin could have afterwards even gone all the way and maybe even won the whole thing. But we all know this filthy league was having none of that, they would not have Caitlin Clark become the BIGGEST name in women's history...EVER, just because she is White, and secondary straight.
O foul attempts for Napheesa and she played 40 minutes. Alanna Smith got body slammed, held, dragged with no fouls called. JJ got away with so many obvious fouls. Even when she did get a foul called, she shook her head no, no way.
welcome to the wnba world Caitlin Clark lived in this season, its comical listen to the lynx cry about things, their coach disrespected Caitlin and nobody ever calls out the rough fouls on Caitlin
The Liberty literally mauled Napheesa Collier all game, grabbing, holding, flying elbows. The number of trips to the free throw line that Collier got? Zero.
@kylesprague4723 agreed Collier is a physical defensive player and got the same treatment she gets away with against opponents! Stop crying! 😢 Congrats to the Liberty 🗽 they earned the championship!
3:18 This!! I said this live. I was like what? This ain't no football. There's no illegal guarding position in basketball. The only illegal position would be a charge right under the basket inside the arc. The whole 2nd half, Liberty was allowed to push the Lynx around like football.
No foul. She traveled, and the ball was to the Linx. With 2 or 3 seconds the Linx should be the champions. But if you look at the statistics the Liberty shoot 26-28 free throws and the Linx 6 or 8. The Liberty didn't have an MVP because Stewart and Ionescu failed almost every shoot they tried. Collier received many hits and pushes and was the real MVP without any fouls called. wnba is not a serious league. They should apologize to the Linx team and declare them champions. Maybe we need a really truly professional league.

I really wonder how the NY Liberty players are feeling today... do they see why people think they aren't real winners and the game was rigged for them or do they just think everyones a 'hater'?
I don't think they define their entire season of success based on one bad call. There were bad calls on both sides, all series, each one unfairly changing the course of the game. It is what it is, and the Lynx still had the opportunity to win in overtime.
@@coreyrobinson8209 I don't think anyone is debating that the Liberty was the best team that played this year either, but it doesnt change the fact that the Linx had it till that call, that we can all see with our own eyes wasn't correct. Fans and a lot of people in the media are calling it rigged they might be able to shake it off but when people like Le Bron and others are also calling it out there will always be an astrix by the win no matter how good you were the rest of the season and people have very good reason to be saying it was Rigged. Also W players this year have clearly not been able to handle social media commentary well and there has been a lot of commentary about this so I think its a fair question to wonder how they see this commentary, and if it dampens the win for them that people don't believe they are real winners.
a) multiple steps anywhere from 4 to 6. b) charging foul. Alanna Smith is SET and Stewart is bumping into her, basically dislodging her. c) ignoring a and b, there is still no foul from Alanna.
*Look, Rachel, why do you think they kept the WNBA around for almost 30 years since nobody really watching? Because the bookies are making a killing rigging these game left and right. Look at what side was doing with the Fever. The only thing she was missing was a sign that says I work for the bookies, not the Fever! It's just like the horse races, if it was not for the bookies, horse racing wouldn't even be around today. So, the bookies are the reason the WNBA and Horse Racing are still around today.* *A person is simply ignorant if they think any of these games are fair and square. Meaning, not rigged in one way or another. Either hard win or lose or working the spreads.*
You say terrible, I say perfect. All season long the WNBA did everything it could to drive new fans away from the game...this is the icing on the cake they baked. They wanted to be a trash league...and they proved they are.
Sadly the new generation of players are players I want to continue watching on the next level, Paige, Juju, MiLaysia, Tessa and for sure CC. But this league, doing all this sh*t is so annoying
well said, however perfection in reality was flat repetition of the refs' game plan when the wnba puppets wanted to get lost their enemies, first of all charging the key defensive players of fouls in the first quarter or half, and driving the key offensive player crazy, or poisoned under the skin, by explicit bias and injustice straight in the face in a matter of consecutive actions.
@@adamchong1752 unfortunately the swamp is going to poison as well the NCAA sports and youth's sportmanship, by means of their corruption schemes particularly against girls, consider the ongoing quarrels on biological males.
Watching Napheesa Collier quietly dominate during the playoffs has made me a fan. She's so fluid with her footwork, and she'll drop a cool 20+ pts without creating any noise. She's a class act, and she deserves more hype, tbh.
@@arawilson I genuinely would put her in my all-star starting 5. She's so poised, and her stamina is incredible for the number of minutes she plays. NY looked gassed in the first half while Napheesa was effortlessly cutting and scoring layups at will.
Yes she is good but she missed a layup badly with a couple of seconds left that would have put them up 4 .I know she maybe kicking herself. Feel bad for her .love your comment
@@arawilson - I've never heard of a Playoffs MVP honor _NOT_ being able to be given to either team... is it the rule in the WNBA that it can only be given to a player from the winning team?🤷🏻♂️
@@AfrykaSylvester I know that one hurt, but I think all of the players were gassed during game 5. The only player to clock more minutes last night was Stewie with 45. Napheesa had 44 and change before fouling. That’s pretty impressive conditioning.
The Liberty were "pre-determined" to be the WNBA champions, and the referees made sure the league got the "popular favorites" handed the trophy. Whether they deserved it or not.
@@ReggieGreen-z3t Well, they got WAY more free throws given to them than the Lynx got. If it were fair, and the fouls were evenly distributed, the Lynx would have won. But the WNBA office decided it was the Liberty's "turn" to win the title, the referees were ordered to make sure it happened. Lebron & Dame agreed with me. If they win fair, fine, but it clearly wasn't fair. More than TWICE the number of free throws awarded to the Liberty. Clearly NOT fair!
@@andychase7693 You’re making an argument that will be reiterated again and again and again. Also, the best refs aren’t refereeing. In other words, get used to it. Especially when bettors are in the picture.
LYXN scored 82 points in game 4.......but only 62 points in GAME 5 and that's the ref's fault ??? Why did the LYXN score 20 fewer points then last game ?? That's the reason they lost !!!! NEW YORK played like crap and they didn't take advantage
They had to change the call, everyone in the world saw there was no foul. The fact that they didn’t overturn it is proof that the game was rigged. That’s the only evidence you need, that was literal rigging live in front of our eyes, although there were a lot more tainted calls.
refs also knocked indiana out by allowing WWE moves to be executed against Clark. Not just the eye gouge but being clotheslined on lay ups and Forearm smashed across the face on lay ups ...all ZERO calls. The fix was in for who was Supposed to win, and it was implemented according to plan.
Where are you seeing any of this? I watched the game live last night, and Breanna Stewart bobbled the pass, finally established possession, gathered herself, and jump stopped to the right elbow, where she was fouled on the wrist as she put up her game-tying attempt. There was no travel (the ESPN commentators would have mentioned it as it occurred), and the foul was clear as Stewie is one of the best players in the world and almost never misses a shot by that much.
Shameful performance by officials. Almost like league dictating outcome. Bad bad look for the league. But officiating been horrible all season. I don’t want to hear that Physicality BS. That ship has sailed if you want to be taken seriously
Collier’s response was perfect, she has learned from CC, not to come out negative to the public, that’s why a lot of people like Collier, because she is likable, and a great player.
There was no agenda, conspiracy, or rig job. The New York Liberty played legal, old school defense. It was one of the best defensive basketball performances I've seen in a while. If you've followed Breanna Stewart throughout her career, from UConn to Seattle to NY, she's always been known for locking down in the clutch. That play when she chased Hiedeman around from under the basket and then to the elbow before blocking her shot as the shot clock expired was iconic. Stewie made at least 5 winning defensive plays late in that game that secured the Liberty the championship.
Dijonais is one of the best players in the WNBA!!! Love watching her play. . . . a hard defender against whoever she is playing. An equal opportunity defender!!!!
A championship trophy use to mean something. Now it is only a participation trophy. Maybe the rigging wouldn't have been so obvious if the game wasn't so messy and unregulated for most of it. But the refs jumped in towards the end of the 2nd qtr and then towards the end of the 4th qtr, both times to close the point spread between the teams ONLY because the Liberty were behind. They were the chosen team not the deserving team. I suspected rigging of games several times throughout the season but seeing it in the last game of the season still shocked me.
wasn't Reeve's the coach that mocked CC and kept her off the Olympics' ? Been a Liberty fan all season...but....Lynx got robbed, so sorry for the players, they didn't deserve that outcome...but...Karma caught up with Reeve's
Reeve doesn't pick the Olympic team. My God you Clark fans can be dumb. I don't think she's mocked CC, she just doesn't like talking about her when her team isn't playing the Fever. Nothing wrong with that.
The wnba is a joke..from refs from the Catholic youth association to the cattiness of the Clark situation if u think this is " professional" sports u are delusional.
And they gave the MVP to the dirtiest player on the court 😩…. JJ holds, elbows, pushes and hooks on every play. Hate conspiracy theories but damn this one was so blatant
I agree Rachel, the game was rigged and the league is corrupt (as well as petty, jealous, mean, and delusional). But what about the abysmal level of basketball playing? This is NOT professional basketball, not even close. Both teams should be emabarrased.
Both teams were exhausted after a grueling, physical series. The play in this game was in no way indicative of the product. And had the refs been willing to call fouls on NY, it would have likely looked a bit better.
Both teams normally play MUCH BETTER than they did during the Finals. This is especially true of Sabrina, Stewie, and Courtney Williams (the mid-range assassin). Bear in mind that both teams were playing against OUTSTANDING DEFENSIVE TEAMS. The Sun are statistically the best defensive team in the league, but I have never seen such great defense as that played by the Lynx during most of this series. Statistically, the Lynx allowed one less point per game this season than the Liberty, so the Lynx and Liberty are ranked second and third in the league for their team defense. As most avid basketball fans know, a great defense can make even the highest scoring offensive teams look just HORRIBLE!
That wasn't abysmal basketball. The New York Liberty played championship level defense. You can't appreciate it because you're some Gen Z kid who wants to see a wacky 171-168 final score.
@@RobbieStacks90 LMAO...Liberty sucked big time, especially Stewie and Sabrina. No way were they playing championship level. Now, the Lynx were, plus there are way too many videos showing all the calls not made that should have been made. The Liberty should be ashamed and embarrassed; they even laughed about it at the end of the game interview. Oh, and btw, I'm 72, not a kid.
I said the same thing - I had the league pass the last 4 years - Kobe got me back into it. The NBA and the WNBA are WWE - run by marketing people who are bad at their job. We need real basketball!!!!
Certain people like Clark have been getting "Special Whistles" all season long, as well as, getting to the foul line to pad their score. If something was done sooner, this would not have happened in the finals. Hopefully, next season will be different. Reese gets plummeted under the basket, and she rarely got any calls. I'm also glad that people can now see how important those rebounds are . . . . . lol. Rebounds wins championships!
@@denisebailey3226 Clark getting special whistle? If you really think that you are either crazy or brainwashed by the media. She actually had the worst whistle in the league. She got hacked all season long like no other and received little to no calls and data shows it. Just watch the games again and you will see.
@@jinku77 I watched EVERY game of EVERY TEAM. Been watching the WNBA for several years and started back watching because of Angel Reese. My daughter was once the starting point guard for Swin Cash who is now in the WNBA Hall of Fame and was sitting with Angel Reese at the finals game in New York yesterday. My family owns a basketball training facility. Clark got a "Special Whistle" and that is for sure and no doubt in my mind whatsoever. Been around basketball most of my life. What I'm glad about is that they started calling them out towards the end of the season. What did Clark do, cry like a baby, curst the refs, threw the water bottle at the water boy, started hitting things because she is not used to ref calling her fouls. I hear the same thing happened in college. She constantly elbowed people and pushed off horrible because she can't create her own shots. . . . of course that would not show in the stats because they weren't calling them.
Excellent observation and courage Rachel .I ve played basketball all my life, and experienced alot of what happened here. First of all, Stewart took at least 6 steps on that last play, and no call.Then a strange decision by the ref that the defender was in an illegal guarding position. The laughing during the press conference was obnoxious. If I were a player the status of Stewart I would not be happy winning like this, championship or not. The refs cheated and the game was rigged from the start. SHAME.
Challenges should be decided by an entirely different team of officials. The fixing and rigging has been going on all season long. The officiating has been so horrible, there is no way it could be accidental. It MUST be intentional. The WNBA needs to fix this. I for one, am not watching next season if they don't.
😂😂😂 losing 40 million and that disgraceful showing in the finals, these morons want more money. Both teams yesterday and the league should be embarrassed. The refs have been horrible all year, where was the crying when Caitlin got mauled all year
The REFS won the Championship and the Liberty lifted the trophy. There was ZERO reason for OT! Stewie traveled & NO foul & the challenge was NOT overturned 🤡

That's what makes me mad too. Everybody so excited that this was the most watched WNBA championship game in league history. But who cares about THE GIRL who brought all the viewers in? I mean I don't even have to say your name and you know who I'm talking about.
@@paulywhit2783 @t this point, the basketball season is over for Clark. She got SWEPT in the first round of the playoffs. . . . that makes her irrelevant. Trying to keep her relevant during off season looks delusional and desperate. The attention now should on the ladies of the New York Liberty who won the championship and the up-and-coming league "Unrivaled" who will showcase 30 of the best players in the WNBA in a 3 v. 3 competition. PERIOD!
I've seen much worse. I forget right now, who it was, but earlier in the season, I saw somebody tuck the ball like a running back, and take like 4 steps....TWICE in a row!😂
Thank You I knew she traveled. I said the same thing about her dress. To much drama for me I’m done making the WNBA games at the top of my list. The referee’s are horrible to much drama this season. You did a GREAT job covering the lies that cost the Minnesota team the championship.
That was NOT a foul in anyway shape form or fashion. That game was rigged, they were calling so many fouls on the Lynx and that last phantom foul was awful.
I commented earlier in the season when I saw the CC was being treated it was obvious they weren’t penalising fouls against her ,that’s when I knew the fix was in .
Is it just coincidence Cathy Engelberts dress? Why is commissioner picking favorite team? Its obvious Cathy lives in NJ and is a Liberty supporter. 100% rigged game.
what i like to hear is a precise explanation from the experienced NBA ref about "legal guarding position ":this is the first time i listened to this type of review result
Thank you for being so real about this. BUT how TF do we get change, because I am not going to watch anymore if this is how the league is going to be run.
A nation of new WNBA fans learned why the league has never been taken seriously. Refs awful. Foul disparity. Rules out the window. NY stars embarrassingly awful. Advantage of replay technology wasted. Broadcast bias. It was all there. Feel for the Lynx. They were outright robbed.
Middle school refs would have been an improvement.... Reeve is a hypocrite, she only bitches when its her team... bring what on Cheryl, like the league will do anything about it....refs are awful, but tough cookies Cheryl....
Not only did Stuart travel, but it looks like an up and down. The tip of her toe seems to hit the floor on her way down before her actual shot, thus, an up and down. How frustrating for the Lynx.
That’s a good observation Rachel! I didn’t realize she caught it near the 3-point line and made it all the way to the paint before dribbling 😂 That’s pretty bad😬
I just have to laugh. I wonder what the Fever thinks? Go back and look at the tapes in their last game. Games where if the player got the call they would have been given 3 penalty shots at the line. Game changers. The WNBA has preconceived ideas about who they want to win, who they want to feature. This is not a fair field, the refs are some of the worst I’ve ever seen.
I became a WNBA fan because of Reese but I enjoy watching all of the ladies play. Excited to watch the 30 top players of the league play in the new league "Unrivaled".
Obviously having NY win their first championship at home was a fairy tale finish. The difference in free throws shot was telling. Nafeesa was mugged all game and shot no free throws. Bad basketball.
You knew it was fixed when napheesa shot 23x and not 1 free throw! And the brainless commissioner Cathy engelbert was wearing an outfit with the new York skyline. This said it all
Rachel, please do explain this so called " non legal guarding". I'm 60yrs old,have played the sport and coached at the high school level and have Never even heard of this!? It sure looked to me like Stewart was being guarded...she got her shot blocked. The block shouldn't have even been an issue with the blatant traveling, but if you're going to review it, at least get that right!!! It's been like this from the start of the year and pretty much ended the same way 😖🤔
Ms. Reeves , welcome to Caitlin Clark world. You got what you supported when it came to Caitlin 😂😂😂😂😂. Thank you for not wanting to test the IQ of the actual player😂😂😂😂😂
What do you expect from a non professional league who couldn't and didn't protect the player who brought more to this pre tend league then any other player in its history... this league and it's officials are a disgrace to professional sports
Honestly I expected this, at least they are consistent with their bullshit. I really have no idea how they market this WNBA. What is the attraction beside Clark? It can't be the missed layups and the stat padding with rebounding? Watching bricks from 10 to 12 ft? My 8th grade team is better!
It’s what we were seeing with the Fever and CC the whole year. Love Phee and hate that the players didn’t decide the result. To Cheryl, we don’t give 2 $hits about your grievances bc that’s your response when it was happening to another team/CC. Karma

The NBA does the same thing for LeBron and the Lakers - now Bronny an influencer is pretending to be an NBA player- both leagues are a JOKE!!! I miss real basketball!!!! 🏀
I do get what you mean we have lost that golden era of ball for sure. I do watch a lot more NBA they do milk some things also but I mean to not sound mean the NBA is definitely way more watchable/enjoyable than the W on every aspect. It’s still no pass for Adam silvers idiocy.
@@furikakez maybe not in a championship deciding moment - but they literally had a rigged series in 2002 - and I am a Kobe fan but the Kings got robbed in 2002. It was incredibly bad tho. I guess my overall point is the NBA and WNBA now more than ever try to play with the results and scrip their league.
A'ja Wilson was the correct pick for league MVP. Most points, rebounds and blocks in the regular season. Plus, first WNBA player in history to have 1000+ points in the regular season. Nypheesa Collier was the correct pick for defensive player of the year.
Why weren’t they complaining when they were doing it against Kaitlyn all season long they beat up that poor girl and they’re bitching because they were held really
The commissioner seems to think that drama is what attracts and keeps fans (yea, she needs to go). Basketball is supposed to be entertainment not drama. I think the fans will get tired of the drama, poor management and poor officiating and find something else to watch. At least reality shows are supposed to be filled with drama. Just another random thought, Why would you advertise your league as very physical instead of very talented? If I want physical I can watch WWE, the NFL or something else.
They know is was not a foul play , they know the travel play and yet they did not give a damn , so what's the point talking about it, bad league, awful , casual fan here, horrible
70+ woman here. Thank you young lady for your spot on commentary! Much Respect.
My impressions after watching my first WNBA season:
1. Officiating is HORRIBLE
2. The game is ‘bull ball’
3. I don’t know what a foul is
The refs are there for the owners to control the outcome. Not for players. This is true in every sport.
I have posted this multiple times, the WNBA is far and away the worst run league I have ever seen.

Sadly the new generation of players are players I want to continue watching on the next level, Paige, Juju, MiLaysia, Tessa and for sure CC. But this league, doing all this sh*t is so annoying
Exactly. That's what I'm saying too.
well said, however perfection in reality was flat repetition of the refs' game plan when the wnba puppets wanted to get lost their enemies, first of all charging the key defensive players of fouls in the first quarter or half, and driving the key offensive player crazy, or poisoned under the skin, by explicit bias and injustice straight in the face in a matter of consecutive actions.

This is my first time hearing you, you are right on, you are wonderful, thanks Rachel!
You can not make this stuff up. I need a break from all this drama, miss Caitlin Clark so much
Great commentary !!! Good job !!!
Watching Napheesa Collier quietly dominate during the playoffs has made me a fan. She's so fluid with her footwork, and she'll drop a cool 20+ pts without creating any noise. She's a class act, and she deserves more hype, tbh.
She's amazing and cool as a cucumber. She really was the MVP, if that could be given to players from either team.
@@arawilson I genuinely would put her in my all-star starting 5. She's so poised, and her stamina is incredible for the number of minutes she plays. NY looked gassed in the first half while Napheesa was effortlessly cutting and scoring layups at will.
Yes she is good but she missed a layup badly with a couple of seconds left that would have put them up 4 .I know she maybe kicking herself. Feel bad for her .love your comment
@@arawilson - I've never heard of a Playoffs MVP honor _NOT_ being able to be given to either team... is it the rule in the WNBA that it can only be given to a player from the winning team?🤷🏻♂️
@@AfrykaSylvester I know that one hurt, but I think all of the players were gassed during game 5. The only player to clock more minutes last night was Stewie with 45. Napheesa had 44 and change before fouling. That’s pretty impressive conditioning.
The Liberty were "pre-determined" to be the WNBA champions, and the referees made sure the league got the "popular favorites" handed the trophy. Whether they deserved it or not.
The Lynx had OT to win it….the Libs stars other than JJ did NOTHING in Game 5….the Lynx have no excuses.
@@ReggieGreen-z3t Well, they got WAY more free throws given to them than the Lynx got. If it were fair, and the fouls were evenly distributed, the Lynx would have won. But the WNBA office decided it was the Liberty's "turn" to win the title, the referees were ordered to make sure it happened. Lebron & Dame agreed with me. If they win fair, fine, but it clearly wasn't fair. More than TWICE the number of free throws awarded to the Liberty. Clearly NOT fair!
@@andychase7693 You’re making an argument that will be reiterated again and again and again. Also, the best refs aren’t refereeing. In other words, get used to it. Especially when bettors are in the picture.
These refs have been poor all season. They also have been biased and favored players and teams the entire season. Where was the outrage all season.
At my house.
They should switch the refs with the janitors for improvement on court.
THE REFS HAVE BEEN ONESIDED ALL YEAR LONG. SOMEONE SHOULD TELL THE REFS BETTING ON GAMES THEY REF IS ILLEGAL. ITS PLAGUED THE ENTIRE SEASON.
LYXN scored 82 points in game 4.......but only 62 points in GAME 5 and that's the ref's fault ???
Why did the LYXN score 20 fewer points then last game ??
That's the reason they lost !!!! NEW YORK played like crap and they didn't take advantage
It was not poor. It was fixed.
Whether by league itself or by Payoffs
This is the best breakdown that I’ve seen so far. Great job. What is legal guarding position?
these refs were not going to change that call in that situation, Lynx got robbed..........
They had to change the call, everyone in the world saw there was no foul. The fact that they didn’t overturn it is proof that the game was rigged. That’s the only evidence you need, that was literal rigging live in front of our eyes, although there were a lot more tainted calls.
Lynx was robbed but since I don't like the coach; .. I am ok with it ..
@@markanderson5226 It's only evidence that the refs suck. Everything else is just an assertion.
refs also knocked indiana out by allowing WWE moves to be executed against Clark. Not just the eye gouge but being clotheslined on lay ups and Forearm smashed across the face on lay ups ...all ZERO calls. The fix was in for who was Supposed to win, and it was implemented according to plan.
4 steps traveling and an up and down, and an OFFENSIVE foul.
Where are you seeing any of this? I watched the game live last night, and Breanna Stewart bobbled the pass, finally established possession, gathered herself, and jump stopped to the right elbow, where she was fouled on the wrist as she put up her game-tying attempt. There was no travel (the ESPN commentators would have mentioned it as it occurred), and the foul was clear as Stewie is one of the best players in the world and almost never misses a shot by that much.

100% rigged and that’s both game 4 and game 5. 🤮
Yes, to make the series go 5 and then to make NY, the larger market win. Kind of amazing how brazen this was, and yet, we all saw it.
This video is 11:26 in length. That's more viewing time that I gave the WNBA over the past 28 years. And they are not helping their own cause.
Shameful performance by officials. Almost like league dictating outcome. Bad bad look for the league. But officiating been horrible all season. I don’t want to hear that Physicality BS. That ship has sailed if you want to be taken seriously
This. Let’s not pretend it’s “reeee Clarke” when in reality the refs have sucked all year.
Haven't watched a game since Caitlin Clark and Fever loss but this was definitely rigged. Ridiculous 😡
Love your honest reporting!
Collier’s response was perfect, she has learned from CC, not to come out negative to the public, that’s why a lot of people like Collier, because she is likable, and a great player.
Remember Aja got the MVP at the start of the season.
From day one. When the Refs didn’t call fouls I know they have an agenda. How did they get their referee licenses.
is easy to get license for ref. in highschool at least my state all u need to do is listen to like 4 videos, do 1 exam(80%) and do other 2 steps
License?! These refs are just doing this for community service to get parole from prison.
There was no agenda, conspiracy, or rig job. The New York Liberty played legal, old school defense. It was one of the best defensive basketball performances I've seen in a while. If you've followed Breanna Stewart throughout her career, from UConn to Seattle to NY, she's always been known for locking down in the clutch. That play when she chased Hiedeman around from under the basket and then to the elbow before blocking her shot as the shot clock expired was iconic. Stewie made at least 5 winning defensive plays late in that game that secured the Liberty the championship.
@@RobbieStacks90You are blind liberty fanboy
The Lynx player was more penalized for phantom poking that ball than Dijonais got for poking Caitlin Clark in the eye!! 👁️
Dijonais is one of the best players in the WNBA!!! Love watching her play. . . . a hard defender against whoever she is playing. An equal opportunity defender!!!!

Thank you!
I am 50 years old played/watched basketball all my life....I have no idea what not in legal guarding position even means
A championship trophy use to mean something. Now it is only a participation trophy. Maybe the rigging wouldn't have been so obvious if the game wasn't so messy and unregulated for most of it. But the refs jumped in towards the end of the 2nd qtr and then towards the end of the 4th qtr, both times to close the point spread between the teams ONLY because the Liberty were behind. They were the chosen team not the deserving team. I suspected rigging of games several times throughout the season but seeing it in the last game of the season still shocked me.
I see players get away with travel almost every game in the WNBA and in the NBA I don't know why it isn't called more often.
I came for the rookie and left for the refs.
wasn't Reeve's the coach that mocked CC and kept her off the Olympics' ? Been a Liberty fan all season...but....Lynx got robbed, so sorry for the players, they didn't deserve that outcome...but...Karma caught up with Reeve's
Reeve doesn't pick the Olympic team. My God you Clark fans can be dumb. I don't think she's mocked CC, she just doesn't like talking about her when her team isn't playing the Fever. Nothing wrong with that.
Adam Silver is a coward.
He is not commissioner of. The Wnba
He is the Boss
@@delmirabuchanan912 the Wnba. Has there owner commissioner
The wnba is a joke..from refs from the Catholic youth association to the cattiness of the Clark situation if u think this is " professional" sports u are delusional.
He's a walking corpse.
And they gave the MVP to the dirtiest player on the court 😩…. JJ holds, elbows, pushes and hooks on every play. Hate conspiracy theories but damn this one was so blatant
Unbelievable isn't it. Rewarded for awful behaviour.
@@Mark-Book Sounds like presidential politics. No consequences for criminal behavior. Rules don't seem to be a priority.
Lies after lies after lies
Collier travels consistently on offense & hand checks every fucking possession on defense but yeah 🤣
Yup, hip-checks with her screens too.
I agree Rachel, the game was rigged and the league is corrupt (as well as petty, jealous, mean, and delusional). But what about the abysmal level of basketball playing? This is NOT professional basketball, not even close. Both teams should be emabarrased.
Both teams were exhausted after a grueling, physical series. The play in this game was in no way indicative of the product. And had the refs been willing to call fouls on NY, it would have likely looked a bit better.
Both teams normally play MUCH BETTER than they did during the Finals. This is especially true of Sabrina, Stewie, and Courtney Williams (the mid-range assassin). Bear in mind that both teams were playing against OUTSTANDING DEFENSIVE TEAMS. The Sun are statistically the best defensive team in the league, but I have never seen such great defense as that played by the Lynx during most of this series. Statistically, the Lynx allowed one less point per game this season than the Liberty, so the Lynx and Liberty are ranked second and third in the league for their team defense. As most avid basketball fans know, a great defense can make even the highest scoring offensive teams look just HORRIBLE!
That wasn't abysmal basketball. The New York Liberty played championship level defense. You can't appreciate it because you're some Gen Z kid who wants to see a wacky 171-168 final score.
@@RobbieStacks90 LMAO...Liberty sucked big time, especially Stewie and Sabrina. No way were they playing championship level. Now, the Lynx were, plus there are way too many videos showing all the calls not made that should have been made. The Liberty should be ashamed and embarrassed; they even laughed about it at the end of the game interview.
Oh, and btw, I'm 72, not a kid.
Women🤷🏽♂️
Good video & explaination. Thanks.
I am ao done with this league. I am only watching CC next year. This league is embarrassingly bad as an organization
I said the same thing - I had the league pass the last 4 years - Kobe got me back into it. The NBA and the WNBA are WWE - run by marketing people who are bad at their job. We need real basketball!!!!
Welcome to the light
Certain people like Clark have been getting "Special Whistles" all season long, as well as, getting to the foul line to pad their score. If something was done sooner, this would not have happened in the finals. Hopefully, next season will be different. Reese gets plummeted under the basket, and she rarely got any calls. I'm also glad that people can now see how important those rebounds are . . . . . lol. Rebounds wins championships!
@@denisebailey3226 Clark getting special whistle? If you really think that you are either crazy or brainwashed by the media. She actually had the worst whistle in the league. She got hacked all season long like no other and received little to no calls and data shows it. Just watch the games again and you will see.
@@jinku77 I watched EVERY game of EVERY TEAM. Been watching the WNBA for several years and started back watching because of Angel Reese. My daughter was once the starting point guard for Swin Cash who is now in the WNBA Hall of Fame and was sitting with Angel Reese at the finals game in New York yesterday. My family owns a basketball training facility. Clark got a "Special Whistle" and that is for sure and no doubt in my mind whatsoever. Been around basketball most of my life. What I'm glad about is that they started calling them out towards the end of the season. What did Clark do, cry like a baby, curst the refs, threw the water bottle at the water boy, started hitting things because she is not used to ref calling her fouls. I hear the same thing happened in college. She constantly elbowed people and pushed off horrible because she can't create her own shots. . . . of course that would not show in the stats because they weren't calling them.
Excellent observation and courage Rachel .I ve played basketball all my life, and experienced alot of what happened here. First of all, Stewart took at least 6 steps on that last play, and no call.Then a strange decision by the ref that the defender was in an illegal guarding position. The laughing during the press conference was obnoxious. If I were a player the status of Stewart I would not be happy winning like this, championship or not. The refs cheated and the game was rigged from the start. SHAME.
Challenges should be decided by an entirely different team of officials. The fixing and rigging has been going on all season long. The officiating has been so horrible, there is no way it could be accidental. It MUST be intentional. The WNBA needs to fix this. I for one, am not watching next season if they don't.
Hate to break it to you but it's not going to change.
@@darrelhoyt4205 Then I won't watch.
The lowest scoring 5 period game, probably ever
😂😂😂 losing 40 million and that disgraceful showing in the finals, these morons want more money. Both teams yesterday and the league should be embarrassed. The refs have been horrible all year, where was the crying when Caitlin got mauled all year
They don't care about Caitlin. All of them are glad she wasn't there to steal their spotlight.
Why are you complaining people? Don’t you know by now the WNBA lives in an alternate universe where rules don’t apply?!
We checked with the refs and they couldn't give two shits, not even one shit. Harsh but true, better luck next year Coach Reeves!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Reeves take her 3rd L this year! (one from the All Stars, 2 from CC trouncing them, and now).
The REFS won the Championship and the Liberty lifted the trophy. There was ZERO reason for OT! Stewie traveled & NO foul & the challenge was NOT overturned 🤡

I agree with your take. Finally a straight take.
Too bad we didn't see the same indignation (that I share) when Freddy Krueger Carrington almost took an eye out from Caitlin Clark.
Clark got the "Special Whistle" all season then got SWEPT in the first round of the playoffs. We knew the Fever wasn't going to go too far.

Dijonnai Scissorhands?
@@paulywhit2783 @t this point, the basketball season is over for Clark. She got SWEPT in the first round of the playoffs. . . . that makes her irrelevant.

The Lynx won the championship and Phee is Finals MVP...anybody who knows basketball knows this is true if they watched this series...
Phee is the final MVP!!!
That was the worst travel ever.
I've seen much worse. I forget right now, who it was, but earlier in the season, I saw somebody tuck the ball like a running back, and take like 4 steps....TWICE in a row!😂
Thank You I knew she traveled. I said the same thing about her dress. To much drama for me I’m done making the WNBA games at the top of my list. The referee’s are horrible to much drama this season. You did a GREAT job covering the lies that cost the Minnesota team the championship.
That was NOT a foul in anyway shape form or fashion. That game was rigged, they were calling so many fouls on the Lynx and that last phantom foul was awful.
I commented earlier in the season when I saw the CC was being treated it was obvious they weren’t penalising fouls against her ,that’s when I knew the fix was in .
Clark received special treatment too. She constantly pushes off (because she's too slow🙂).
Rachel Awesome Video Today!!🔥🐐🐐💎
Pretty sure these officials are also NY election officials
Is it just coincidence Cathy Engelberts dress? Why is commissioner picking favorite team? Its obvious Cathy lives in NJ and is a Liberty supporter. 100% rigged game.
Was there fraud in ny state? No. Go buy some pillows, lol
what i like to hear is a precise explanation from the experienced NBA ref about "legal guarding position ":this is the first time i listened to this type of review result
Thanks for a great season Rachel!
Thank you for being so real about this. BUT how TF do we get change, because I am not going to watch anymore if this is how the league is going to be run.
A nation of new WNBA fans learned why the league has never been taken seriously. Refs awful. Foul disparity. Rules out the window. NY stars embarrassingly awful. Advantage of replay technology wasted. Broadcast bias. It was all there. Feel for the Lynx. They were outright robbed.
My first season ever caring enough to learn about the WNBA. Thank you for educating me.
CC was the target of these PATHETIC refs all season. where'd they get these refs? local middle schools???
Nope. Middle School refs are overqualified for the WNBA.
If somebody getting paid under the table? Allegedly.
Middle school refs would have been an improvement.... Reeve is a hypocrite, she only bitches when its her team... bring what on Cheryl, like the league will do anything about it....refs are awful, but tough cookies Cheryl....
They looked for any reason to uphold the original call because they didn’t want to look bad and have to reverse what they did.
I think you are disrespecting middle school refs with your comment. They try and do a good job every game, WNBA refs set out to rig the game.
The Liberty players also laughed when their coach said the refs were pretty fair
Keeping it real. It's hard to respect the champions sometimes when things like this is true. The evidence is there.
Not only did Stuart travel, but it looks like an up and down. The tip of her toe seems to hit the floor on her way down before her actual shot, thus, an up and down. How frustrating for the Lynx.
That’s a good observation Rachel! I didn’t realize she caught it near the 3-point line and made it all the way to the paint before dribbling 😂
That’s pretty bad😬
I just have to laugh. I wonder what the Fever thinks? Go back and look at the tapes in their last game. Games where if the player got the call they would have been given 3 penalty shots at the line. Game changers. The WNBA has preconceived ideas about who they want to win, who they want to feature. This is not a fair field, the refs are some of the worst I’ve ever seen.
I became an WNBA fan because CC, but this was it. I agreed 100%.
I became a WNBA fan because of Reese but I enjoy watching all of the ladies play. Excited to watch the 30 top players of the league play in the new league "Unrivaled".
A fan for one player ain't a fan... most likely something else.
Obviously having NY win their first championship at home was a fairy tale finish. The difference in free throws shot was telling. Nafeesa was mugged all game and shot no free throws. Bad basketball.
Refs are horrible. They certainly could not do YOUR job.
It is a script and the refs followed it 😂
Ya like saying a wwe is bad lol
Referees are supposed to be neutral but they aren't it is in every sport especially college football
I agree with Coach Reeves but I dont give 2 shits. Not even one.
I was walking toward the bathroom and then I decided it wasn't worth one s***
😂@@darrelhoyt4205
You knew it was fixed when napheesa shot 23x and not 1 free throw! And the brainless commissioner Cathy engelbert was wearing an outfit with the new York skyline. This said it all
Cheryl decided that she had enough money and let it fly. I’m starting to appreciate her. 😂
Totally a rigged game. The Liberty hacked at the Lynx all night. Then there was this bad non foul call.
Rachel, please do explain this so called " non legal guarding". I'm 60yrs old,have played the sport and coached at the high school level and have Never even heard of this!? It sure looked to me like Stewart was being guarded...she got her shot blocked. The block shouldn't have even been an issue with the blatant traveling, but if you're going to review it, at least get that right!!! It's been like this from the start of the year and pretty much ended the same way 😖🤔
Great take... WNBA lost any ounce of credibility they had left.
I 100% agree with you Rachel…as usual.
Ms. Reeves , welcome to Caitlin Clark world. You got what you supported when it came to Caitlin 😂😂😂😂😂. Thank you for not wanting to test the IQ of the actual player😂😂😂😂😂
What do you expect from a non professional league who couldn't and didn't protect the player who brought more to this pre tend league then any other player in its history... this league and it's officials are a disgrace to professional sports
Honestly I expected this, at least they are consistent with their bullshit. I really have no idea how they market this WNBA. What is the attraction beside Clark? It can't be the missed layups and the stat padding with rebounding? Watching bricks from 10 to 12 ft? My 8th grade team is better!
Travelling is not found in the WNBA rule book. Period.
Where do we sign to get Rachel DeMita to be the new WNBA commissioner?!?
I always love RD's take on the games! She is honest and knows her stuff!
Real hoop fans don’t want this
She’s salty…human nature.
And if her finger touched the ball, least it could’ve been is a block which would’ve been a positive thing so it would’ve been the links ball
It’s what we were seeing with the Fever and CC the whole year. Love Phee and hate that the players didn’t decide the result. To Cheryl, we don’t give 2 $hits about your grievances bc that’s your response when it was happening to another team/CC. Karma

The commissioner seems to think that drama is what attracts and keeps fans (yea, she needs to go). Basketball is supposed to be entertainment not drama. I think the fans will get tired of the drama, poor management and poor officiating and find something else to watch. At least reality shows are supposed to be filled with drama. Just another random thought, Why would you advertise your league as very physical instead of very talented? If I want physical I can watch WWE, the NFL or something else.
Yes the refs and management need an overhaul
Check the refs bank accounts, some one paid them off and the wnba can no way say all the games were fare.
Unbelievable that this warrants television exposure!😂😂😂
You’re spot on!!! ESPN and the W was sooooo biased for Liberty!!!! So obvious!
