PS, I sure wanted Indiana to win. Oh, well, at least Houston is out. Anyone betting against LA?

i remember this play. the defender was standing well inside the restricted area. though the wnba does not have the ra in the book its philosophy is still implied by many officials at the higher levels. she was deep in the ra, though she was set and took it hard. the official used this philosophy or completely missed the play. 1 or the other.

Ah, yes, the good ol' Restricted Area. ** heavy sigh ** Do I finally have to give you one, for being right about the "ra" in this situation?
Or, no, wait... does the WNBA officially recognize the "ra"? Can I hope that the ref will be corrected... let's see it again... no, it's Bill Stokes. crew, you win this one. I couldn't possibly press this against someone in his condition.
