Message: [QUOTE="DishNSwish, post: 2327387, member: 312"] First of all it's Sun. Not Suns. Clearly you aren't a fan of the team, or you would know that. j66, I was sitting right there on press row. Griner and Taurasi got the star treatment, don't kid yourself. However, they were still the two best players on the court. In a one game series, that happens, they win. But to say Sun fans don't have a right to be frustrated with some of the calls is not fair and correct either. In fact I tweeted this in the second quarter of the game: "And the refs, who were doing such a nice job letting them play, have decided to get involved. CT with 5 team fouls, Phoenix, um, one" When JJ has to skip a possession because Dee elbowed her in the gut and doubled her over that's just wrong. I also saw no offensive fouls on BG that weren't earned. She does throw her elbows around, and she is aggressive...like any good post SHOULD be. The fact she isn't in foul trouble more speaks volumes though. Sometimes you get called, sometimes you don't. I was curious so I looked it up. Since July 1st, BG had ONE game that she had five fouls. At 6'9, and banging in the paint on both ends. Hmmm.... The Mercury made the big plays, led by veterans with experience, while the young Sun players did not make the same. That's what happens sometimes. It was Phoenix's day. I never read anyone say the refs stole the game or the Mercury didn't win the game. In fact, psconn's post starts with a statement saying the Mercury were the better team and he didn't blame the refs. [/QUOTE]
