Is any one successfully streaming this to a Chromecast from the WNBA app?
The app isn't giving me the option for some reason.

I'll assume that they won't call a flagrant foul, since that elbow above he shoulder is attached to Tamika Catchings.
Edited to add: I guess the refs didn't feel it was necessary to swing a high elbow.

In spite of the Debbie flather, if that wasn't a flagrant, then we haven't seen one all year. Debbie drives me nuts with her drivel.

And, of course, TRP's nose must magically be below her shoulder.
I admit 12A is a tough rule to apply. Shoulder level, especially on smaller guards is well below shoulder level of a big.
Rule 12A-Section V-1(5) l. A player, coach or trainer must be ejected for:
(1) A punching foul
(2) A fighting foul
(3) An elbow foul which makes contact above shoulder level

TRP's head at the time of impact was just about level with Catch's head - well above either of their shoulders.

I agree that it was high contact. Just pointing out that "shoulder level" can be a subjective standard.
Mystics looking good. Hope they can hold onto this twenty point lead. Mike must think so - Mallot is in.

Copper 17 pts on 8 shots in 16 min. That's my G!
Achonwa actually taking shots and making some. She had 12 pts

| I just want to know when Antonelli became such a size queen. She seemed fixated on how small Latta and Leilani Mitchell were.

...Without mentioning Erica Wheeler who is listed at 5'7" but pretty much stood toe to toe (and head to head) with the aforementioned. Anyway it's hard to tell what Debbie will get fixated on. And she is such a disgusting homer anyway. ugh. Somehow I don't mind homerism from some announcers but the way she does it just blows me away.

The only thing that she said I didn't agree with was the flagnant foul on Catch. After listening to Seattle duo last night the Fevers announcers were enjoyable today.

Being there, it didn't feel like anyone was engaged with the game tonight.

"Mike Thibault knows how to deal with pregnancies. He's had three of them."
That could be interpreted in multiple ways, Mr. Announcer...

She did mention Wheeler's lack of height once late in the game, though I understand if you muted her before that point. I was tempted to mute them when she kept blathering on about Denari's BHA tie. Look at all the fucks I don't give! They are numerous!

I had a good laugh when he said that too.

You're right. She did get muted (while I wished she would mutate as well - into a better announcer).

It's hard to overlook when they're playing together. I didn't think that combo would work but the Fever weren't able to take advantage of it on the other end of the floor, and Hill obviously had no problem playing with Cloud, so...
