Three The Hard Way: Who Refs On Christmas 

Post#1 » by DEEP3CL » Wed Dec 17, 2008 11:43 pm

OK lets see who can pick the refs or at least one of them that we might see at Staples on Christmas. Or pick the crew you think should do the game, or the ref who will ruin your day if you see him.
Below is a list of the refs for the 2008-09 season.

Referees: Bennie Adams - Mark Ayotte - Dick Bavetta - Matt Boland - Tony Brothers

Tony Brown - Mike Callahan - James Capers - Jim Clark - Derrick Collins - Sean Corbin

Dan Crawford - Joe Crawford - Marc Davis - Bob Delaney - Joe DeRosa - Kevin Fehr

Brian Forte - Joe Forte - Scott Foster - Pat Fraher - Ron Garretson - John Goble

Luis Grillo - David Guthrie - Steve Javie - David Jones - Bill Kennedy - Courtney Kirkland

Eric Lewis - Mark Lindsay - Ed Malloy - Ken Mauer - Monty McCutchen - Rodney Mott

Jack Nies - Tommy Nunez Jr. - Ron Olesiak - Violet Palmer - Jason Phillips - Olandis Poole

Derek Richardson - Leroy Richardson - Phil Robinson - Eli Roe - Eddie F. Rush -Bennett Salvatore

Mike Smith - Bill Spooner - Derrick Stafford - Scott Wall - Tom Washington - Greg Willard

Leon Wood - Haywoode Workman - Sean Wright - Mike Wunderlich - Zach Zarba - Gary Zielinski

My Picks: Dick Bavetta, Eddie F. Rush , Steve Javie
I'm going ALL-STAR here this game will have much tension these 3 will make sure nothing gets crazy.

**** Joe Crawford is my hero. **** wanted to take on Duncan 1-on-1. That takes guts considering the size advantage.

Man we are so worried about who is going to be the ref.. It is almost as if we are making up excuses even before the game begins..

Lets worry about how we are playing at the moment and how do we improve from here.

The point of the thread was just to have fun PICKING who we think is going to officiate the game, not worrying about them. Or who you'd least like to see do the game.

Bottom line weather you like it or not the refs will have some impact on this game, that's just how it goes in the NBA. Some of the refs are good and there is a lot in the NBA that just flat out suck.
