I would have taken him for Game 7 at Oracle..Joey is the the best "road team" referees in NBA..
THIS. Dubs will get away with their illegal screens non-stop now.Quote:

The media and the NBA are selling entertainment. Having a record setting team with a record setting guard à la Curry is likely to sell more tickets and TV shares than the team that has been winning steadily for years with an under-the-radar, fundamental basketball approach that is great for the informed fan, but not as glitzy as the youngster who can't miss from anywhere on the court.
We need to remember this fact when the time comes for playoffs.
He's a good road ref. Could have used him this year in Oracle tbh...

Truly a classic if you think about it, for the Spurs this was quite edgy.Quote:
