Can't believe Taurasi was allowed to push the ref off of the pile and also pushed Copper. Probably should have had a technical called on her or had something happen to show her the ref's will handle it. She ain't the boss, the ref's are. And yes, Kaleah did cross the line this time. Copper should have had a technical.

Watched this live courtside, Copper yanked Sophie around the neck, then stood over her and taunted her. Should've been given a flagrant for this. Honestly, nobody sitting around us even saw the DT/ref situation live. We were all focused on why Copper only got a common foul. But the fact that the ref never did anything and three of them reviewed the play afterwards and still didn't address Diana means they should've let that go.

[@JayRealTalk]

[@blofton2429]

How is DT allowed to push a Ref an nothing happens to her? You cannot touch a Ref in any other sport and if you do you will be thrown out of the game and fined? She is and has always been "The Dirtiest Player" in the league. She is not the goat, IMO she is the worse in the league.

[@carlosdossantos9422]

The ref ended up standing over Cunningham in an attempt to get in between Copper and Cunningham, but that left the ref to be a sitting duck and Taurasi pushed the ref out of the way... and helped Miss Cunningham up.

[@lorenzodawkins7500]

That was a wild sequence

[@terrynorton8868]

This was a great game. All of those players left it out on the floor. As far as the fight..IMHO...Cunningham was fouled by Quigley going up for that easy layup. After the shot the ball happened to land on Cunningham's lap and then Copper goes and clotheslines Cunningham. If the foul was called all other issues wouldn't have happened. Refs are too timid, have their favorites also. Since they didn't call the foul Copper should definitely have gotten a Tech 1. 🏀🏀

[@JeffmChicago]

Why no mention of Dirty Diana shoving the ref not once but twice?

[@terrynorton8868]

@@JeffmChicago maybe because said ref was kind of straddling Cunningham. I think DT was taking care of her teammate. It was Copper doing the choking. Why did the ref jump on top of Sophie? Look i know Cunningham is sometimes known as a dirty player and DT also. But this was all Copper.
