00:00I don't know how bad these calls were that this Cheryl Reeve went off on a tangent after

00:10the game, blaming the refs for losing the title and that the game was fixed.

00:16Let's watch the coach of the Minnesota Lynx.

00:19And all the headlines will be Reeve cries foul.

00:23Bring it on.

00:24Right?

00:25Bring it on.

00:26Because this was stolen from us.

00:28Bring it on.

00:32Hey, Cheryl Reeve, let me talk to you for a second, okay?

00:38Simply put, in game four, Sadie Bordello, who pulled what I think was the master class

00:44press conference after game four, because the Liberty couldn't have said the same thing

00:48in game four, and basically Sadie Bordello dared the referees to let them play.

00:53Well, they did.

00:54In game number four, though, the Minnesota Lynx shot way more free throws, and that was

00:58decided on a foul line, on a rebound, with a nescue, which they took the lead.

01:06So why am I not giving Cheryl Reeve the same love and respect for how she was at her press

01:11conference like Sadie Bordello?

01:13Let's count the ways, folks.

01:16Number one, Nafisa Khalid, your best player, misses basically a layup with 20 seconds left

01:23that could have put you up four.

01:25Number two, yes, Stewie hits the foul shots, cross dribble call.

01:29Pharrell, you and I know it as bigs.

01:31When you try to block a shot and you come down, whether you get ball or not, it's always

01:36a foul because you don't, you break the play in verticality.

01:40She never left the floor, though.

01:41I saw that highlight.

01:44And I think, listen, at the end of the day, bang, bang, play.

01:47Listen, you get the benefit of the doubt, the girls still make the free throws.

01:50But Pharrell, here's the other thing.

01:53They had 10 seconds left.

01:54Did she talk about Kayla McBride getting a clean look at the top of the key from three?

01:58No.

01:59Did she miss that?

02:01How about 65-62, folks?

02:03Carlton, their other shooter, gets a good look from the wing to tie the game.

02:07No.

02:08They get the rebound, let me go up, and they score.

02:11And in their last play of the game, you run a flare screen to the wingside corner, and

02:15Pharrell, a two-year-old kid, could have got through that damn screen.

02:20It was the worst screen I've ever seen at a late-game situation.

02:23And I've been part of some late-game situations, Pharrell.

02:25I've been really checked, really, you know, bad.

02:28It's really scarred me for life.

02:29But that screen was awful.

02:31So if you want to place blame, show we were the referees, yes, you can do that.

02:36But you recognize the number of plays that your team did not make.

02:40Remember, it was 60-58.

02:42Pharrell, they scored two points the last five and a half minutes of the game.

02:48And that does not get it done on the road.
