  A'ja is human.  She didn't have her usual spectacular game.  The fans got under her skin and having a difficult time made her extra sensitive.  I expected Indiana to play with urgency and they did.  Now the Aces are going to their turf and play game three.  I expect more of the same from Indiana.  You win as a team, and you lose as a team.

  Keeping the ball in Caitlin's hands and minimizing Boston in the high post made a HUGE difference.

  Under the WNBA Official Rule Book, the league enforces strict guidelines regarding any player or team personnel leaving the court or bench area to interact negatively with spectators: e<br>• Automatic Ejection: According to WNBA conduct rules, any player, coach, trainer, or team bench personnel who intentionally leaves the floor or bench to enter the stands or fan space to confront a spectator is subject to an immediate ejection from the game.<br>• Fines and Suspensions: Any incident involving a player walking off the court to engage or confront a fan is formally reviewed by the league&apos;s Basketball Operations department. It carries a mandatory review that typically results in severe financial penalties (fines) and multi-game suspensions, as leagues maintain a zero-tolerance policy for physical or aggressive escalation between players and fans.<br>• Technical Fouls for On-Court Responses: Even if a player stays on the court, responding directly or aggressively to provoking fans can draw an automatic technical foul from the officials.

  I said this before about Olivia, when she is guarded whole court, she plays terrible. She never got past the elite 8 in college. She has no experience in big games. And lets be real NY in the start of the season had alot of injured players, and players that never played with each other. Their record did not reflect how good they really are. They like the Aces, both don&apos;t really check into work till the last 10 games, they just run on auto-drive the whole season.

  The key part is the actual WNBA rule. Under Basic Principles, Section II-J — Player Conduct—Spectators, the rule says:<br><br>“Any coach, player, or trainer who deliberately enters the spectator stands during the game will be automatically ejected…”<br><br>And crucially:<br><br>“The first row of seats is considered the beginning of the stands.”<br><br>The only stated exceptions are entering the stands while attempting to keep a ball in play or being carried there by momentum.

  Hopefully and finally, one of the changes for the Lynx will be that they’ll sign and draft post players with size.

  For anyone else who has to eat crow after the Liberty win, I like mine with humble pie. Kudos to LIberty - Stewie, Jones, sabs, were all great....and coach deMarco

  I&apos;m pretty sure that fan was angry that A&apos;Ja body-checked Sophie Cunningham hard and the refs called a foul on Sophie. What&apos;s done is done. I didn&apos;t know Cheryl Reeve was also president of Lynx operations, too. Thank you for sharing that! It will be interesting to see what she does with the team. Do you think Kayla McBride is going to retire this off-season if Reeve breaks up her team? Natasha Howard? I&apos;m looking forward to tonight&apos;s games.

  A&apos;ja didn&apos;t say anything about the fan because he didn&apos;t say anything that warrants her to walk in to the stands. The rule calls for an ejection from the game. The refs got this one wrong, and she definitely should be fined and/or ejected. If the WNBA wants to be taken seriously, the players need to stop doing stuff like that.

  Ok I may be a little old school &nbsp;in my POV about this but anyone thought it was a bit weird that both coaches at the end of the game was all smiley and hugs like series was over? That struck me as a bit Sus!? 😳
