Who are the refs for game two? 

Post#1 » by GonzoLays » Sat Jun 7, 2008 4:52 pm

Can't find it anywhere on the net.

No luck on having the same crew as game one. The NBA, for some odd reason, has a different set of refs for every single game. There can't be that many good refs in the NBA.

Our only hope is that we don't get Kenny Mauer at home, but instead on the road. If we get him tomorrow night for game two, we are screwed.

I hope we DON'T get Bennet Salvatore, Violet Palmer, or Kenny Mauer. Game 1 was pretty good but it seemed as if every questionable call was made by Scot Foster, like the foul on PJ that was in the act of shooting but was called as a no shooting foul, and all the charges that were not called on the Lakers (especially the 2 on PJ). Overall a pretty good officiated game.

If Kenny Mauer is the ref get ready to see some awful calls, or even non calls.

I think the official assignments come out tomorrow.

You can expect one or more of Salvatore, Mauer, Javie, or Crawford, though.

Hey Gonzo don't mean to burst your bubble but they have always changed ref for every game in the Finals. Sticking with the same refs has never been thought about.

Most refs are assigned based on experience.

Yea, umm, I kind of knew that, deep3cl.

Doesn't stop me from still questioning the reasoning behind it, though. Can't be that many good refs in the NBA, you know.

Cool no problem Gonzo wasn't trying to be sarcastic, your right you have every right to question it. But when you say there can't be that many good refs I'll say that out of the 62 refs they have you gotta guess that maybe at least 20 to are decent right ?

I can guarantee next game the refs aren't gonna call as many fouls on the Lakers.

I'd LOVE to be wrong though.

Hopefully we get the same refs for game two. They were fair both ways

I expect to see a lot more of Danny Crawford and Bob Delaney the rest of the way.

I also think Scott Foster will get more run the rest of the series.

I wonder who Perk hopes is the ref.
I'm sure he would like to play more than 18 minutes.

We're ****. The last couple of games that Mauer called for the Lakers -- besides the huge blowout against the spurs -- Bryant got around 18 free throws in each game.

Mauer is known as the biggest anti-homer ref in the league and always gives the road team huge calls on bang-bang plays.

The NBA knows what it is doing. They need and want this sereis to go at least six and preferrably seven games. I read some where that a sixth game would earn ABC 215 million dollars and a seventh game would mean 420 million dollars. That's more than half a billion dollars, folks.

With Bryant getting to the line all night, its going to be an uphill battle all night to get a victory. No wonder the line is low for this game, Vegas wants the money on Celtics to cover.

This is the way I envisioned the series to go, but so far so good from game one. We'll see what happens tonight...

D. Crawford? That's not the bald tim duncan hater??

Bob Delaney seems good. I guess.

I really don't know much about the refs, so it is sad, that I have to actually pay attention to them, because the officiating has gotten so bad.
