NBA Refs for Game 1 Spurs @ Clippers

[TheGreatYacht]

Official 1: Ken Mauer
Official 2: David Jones

I can see devil face (Ken Mauer) and turkey legs (Ed Malloy) giving us problems. Let's hope for the best. GSG!

^^ thanks for the breakdown, nice.
The road stats are disconcerting.
Then again the 4-1 overall with Mauer/Malloy combo is good to see.

Trying to remember, how did that Game 4 at OKC 2012 go as far as burn calls?
We all know Game 6 was Lakerlike rigged but anyone remember how Game 4 went call-wise?

Officiating is key IMO. It can throw our guys off. The affect of the home crown on calls etc.

That was the game were Ibaka and Perkins went off. There was a questionable non-call on goaltending and a few foul calls, but if I remember correctly it was more about the Spurs being lax with the OKC frontline than the refs in that game.

How do you pull those stats tbh? :lol

Ed Malloy is one of the worst officials in the league. Expect Crawford to get numerous calls on his bullshit leg kickouts. He is the ref who gave Westbrook the tech that got rescinded when it clearly looked like Westbrook did not warrant it. Although his short leash could be good vs the Clippers since they complain often.

[ElNono]

If the Spurs play their best game, refs shouldn't matter, tbh

[timtonymanu]

Ugh Malloy is fucking awful. In addition to hearing Reggie Miller's corny, illiterate voice its going to make this game hard to watch.

And then it gets worse having to hear Fat Fuck Chuck in between halves repeat the same point in the same sentence about how we're "old" and not "ah-thah-letic" and that he loves Popovich, we have the greatest organization in sports before saying we're not going to win the Championship.

Just be grateful he isn't commentating the game either. :lol

[TXstbobcat]

League needs to bring back Tom Donaghy for a few games. Worked out well for the Spurs in a previous playoff series against the Suns. :lol

[marinoman]

As long as there's no tony brothers I'll take it

[travis2]

There may be bitching and moaning about Sean and Bill, but I'll take them any day of the week (and twice on Sunday) over whatever TNT deigns to grace us with...

[TheGreatYacht]

Game 2:
Joey Crawford
Ron Garretson
Sean Wright

[MeloHype]

Fuck

[Malik Hairston]

Meh, Clippers complain to the refs a lot, Crawford will probably get annoyed by them, tbh..

[LkrFan]

The champs worried about Ref Gate! BAAAAHAHAHAHAHA! :rollin :lmao :rollin

[Chomag]

Joey? welp we fucked...

Nah, we will be ok as long as Spurs dont put themselves into a position where they need ref help

[smaka]

Joey might actually be good for a road game. He likes to irritate the home crowd.
