Kate Martin’s teammate Kelsey Plum says she sucked & refs cheating in interview | Las Vegas Aces vs Minnesota Lynx WNBA đđ¤
âCry Me a Riverâ: Kelsey Plum and LV Aces Slammed by WNBA Fans Over Officiating Remark vs Lynx
While talking to Angel Gray, Kelsey Plum mentioned, â(The defense) sucked. Iâm frustrated. I feel like the officiating is not equal on both ends.â Comparing the stats for tonightâs game, Las Vegas was indeed called for two more fouls than the competitors. Still, the number was 19 whistles compared to Minnesotaâs 17 calls.
Consequently, the Lynx also got two more free throws. However, their shooting percentage from the stripe was better with 11 of 14 free throws going into the basket. This marked their accuracy at 78.6% from the line. In contrast, the Aces received 12 free throws but only made 8 of them. They went under 67% from the stripe. Hence, while the officiating does not exactly seem to be unjustifiable, it just might be the tough competition that got the better of Kelsey Plum.
Disappointed fans slap down Kelsey Plum for not holding the team accountable but going after the officials
The Las Vegas Aces was one of the teams to beat coming into the season. However, they have been more than poor at showing their skills. First, Chelsea Grayâs excuse was the reason for their failure. Now, for Kelsey Plum, it was the officiating crew. Since the Aces was on its threepeat mission, the fans obviously wanted more from them. While Aâja Wilson promised to hold the team accountable, even she only added 15 points to the total, failing to keep up.
But does any of it have anything to do with the referees? Hence, a follower mentioned how she should not have been talking about the officials when the Aces had not been playing well the whole time. They also praised the opponents for showing out the home crowd of Las Vegas.
âCry me a river, Kelsey Plum! Complaining about the refs in the middle of a game, really? Lynx have just been great so far and the Aces havenât had plenty of lapses on defense.â
The Aces is now at a 17-10 run and have been at the fourth berth in the playoff standing for some time now. Last year, this was not the case. One fan wrote about their performance so far in the season. They even opined that the guardâs criticism of the referees is something that they expect from the team. While another simply wrote that Plum is not someone they like to watch. Perhaps because of the complaining?
âKelsey plum complaining about the officiating is so on par for this disaster of a team lmaoâ
âKelsey Plum so irritating to watchâ
A Las Vegas fan too came into the ongoing conversations and mentioned how this is a new Kelsey Plum they are seeing. The X user also mentioned how she should not have done the whining while the game was still going on. Bringing the NBAâs referees into the talk, they mentioned that WNBAâs officials are also taking things at heart more than ever now.
âWow. Never saw Kelsey Plum this tight before. Gotta be careful on speaking on the officiating tho. The refs are just as sensitive as the refs in the #NBA. #WNBATwitterâ
The Las Vegas Aces had a free throw within a minute going into the game tonight. The officials whistled Alanna Smith for a shooting foul for which Aâja Wilson received two free throws. The Aces then forced 2 more fouls on the Lynx to grab a total of four free throws in the first quarter itself. In comparison, Minnesota got three free throws while the Aces picked three fouls. Still, an X user wrote how Las Vegas did receive more calls in their favor in the first ten minutes. While the hosts did receive more favorable judgments, it was not a big difference.
âKelsey Plum cryinâ in the interview like they didnât get every single call in the first quarter at LEAST. Lynx been fighting for their damn lives off fouls and not getting calls. Yeah, the officiating sucks tonight. But youâve been the beneficiary for most of the game.â
Seems like Kelsey Plum has definitely icked a lot of the basketball fans tonight. However, the Olympic gold medalist did grab 20 points for the team in the 98-87 defeat. With this loss, the Lynx have got the better of Las Vegas twice in a row now. It will be interesting to see if the Aces can keep the Commissionerâs Cup champions from handing them another loss in their next game in two days.
