Message: [QUOTE="Shades, post: 2213314, member: 6101"] I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that. It was almost like we were back in 2015 and the refs thought Griner was Delle Donne. The "no pun intended" emphasizes the pun. :) I know.... she's just a role player. If there ever was a game where the refs helped determine the outcome, it was this one. With the Wings' starting center out, the refs decided that the backup Plaisance deserved 4 pfs in the span of about 4 or 5 min. With Plaisance on the bench, the Wings either had to go small at center or rely heavily on rookie Breanna Lewis or Akhator, who probably isn't 100% even if she has the merit of a #3 pick. Things dominoed from there. The way the Wings are coached, the farther behind they got, the more desperate (in a bad way) they played. The Wings could use Cambage right about now. Phillips.... do your thing. There seems the be an inordinate amount of fouls being called in many of the games across the league. Could there be some kind of directive from the front office? I hope that changes. Let the players determine the outcomes of games. I was surprised Miller didn't take her. I guess he was feeling Cooper (another tweener 4/3 that the team didn't really need), and then he promptly made her the first draft pick cut in the WNBA. Nice scouting there. [/QUOTE]
