to be fair winning not easy and it’s no where near pretty.

Nothing from previous games have to do with game 5. Last time I checked no stat carries over from game to game. The fact the refs telling the dream players we will get you next time when they come to talk about a foul is kind of questionable.

What I saw last night, must never happen again @WNBA Valks players launching their bodies into the offensive players to stop them from scoring is not defense. I watched Veronica Burton & Tiff Hayes launch themselves in the air at opposing players, slamming their bodies into them. Players could get hurt!
What happened to freedom of movement? This is clown hoops & it is disgraceful, players falling to the ground because the Valks play unethical hoops. Gabby Williams, Kaila & others were allowed to grab, pull & hold onto a players arm & pull them down to the floor. Valks players were allowed to maul the opposing player…All because they are not talented enough to win games without cheating.
There is a marked difference between games 2 & 3 vs games 4 & 5, your refs are unethical & you clearly prefer prison hoops @WNBA

Defenders feet not set and she not in a legal guarding position
Replying to @KLChouinard
This one of her better drives what are they bailing out she got wracked in the head and there was lower body contact
Replying to @KeepTheVision_
Game 3 has nothing to do with game 5 you sound goofy. The refs are inconsistent from game to game I’ll never put a loss on refs because it’s other stuff you can do to get a win.
Replying to @shmerf
This the most uncomfortable they looked on offense all year. And for defense it’s more than just leaving Kira open guards aren’t being aggressive gave up a lot of straight line drives in big moments
Replying to @ali284400
Damn you are slow if you think that’s a push she never extended her arm at all.

Angel Reese calls out the refs for not calling blatant fouls on her even when Golden State players say it’s a foul.
She also said the refs started reffing weird after the Dream went up 2-1!
Adam Silver and Cathy need to be investigated!

Angel Reese: "I still believe that we can win this. The process sometimes is a little bit harder and you want to go through hard stuff to get what you want"
Replying to @Quinthox
They don’t get to their second action at all and right now GSV taking way the Dream first action really good
Replying to @Quinthox
I said this during the season this team need to run Spain action
Angel Reese finished Game 5 with 15 rebounds and 5 assists, but only 8 shot attempts.
Reese + Naz Hillmon:
26 rebounds
10 offensive rebounds
9 points on 3/13 FG
Atlanta’s frontcourt created opportunities on the glass. Turning those opportunities into efficient offense is the Game 6 challenge.

In sports you can never get to high or to low on outcome of games within a series format.
Replying to @Quinthox
Lish gave up 3 offensive Rebs herself, and alot of players back Pedaling instead of holding their ground on defense.
Replying to @Quinthox
I like the Okot minutes with Angel because they forced Stokes on her but I didn’t like the high low with Okot attacking Stokes
