[DarrinS]

The only thing to look forward to in this series:

Low minutes for starters -- no injuries
Green to get confidence in his shot
Minutes for Boban, Simmons, et. al.

I think I just saw that Mike Conley is playing...

[Ron Swanson]

Bryant Reeves is suiting up, too.

Curry had an MRI today, and is listed as questionable for Game 3. The Dubs are lucky it's the first round against the Rockettes.

For those who might be interested, tonight's officials are: Mike Callahan (chief), Tom Washington, and James Williams

This is Callahan's 172nd career playoff game. He has worked 31 prior Spurs playoff games and the Spurs are 18-13 in those games (13-6 at home, 8-2 in the first round, and 6-1 at home in the first round). Callahan has worked 1 prior home game 2's in any playoff round and the Spurs won that game. Callahan has somehow never worked a Spurs/Grizzlies playoff game.

This is Washington's 146th career playoff game. He was worked 22 prior Spurs playoff games and the Spurs are 12-10 in those games (9-2 at home, 5-4 in the first round, and 5-1 at home in the first round). Washington has worked 2 prior home game 2's in any playoff round and the Spurs won both. Washington worked Game 3 (at Memphis) in 2011, which the Spurs lost.

Last year, Callahan and Washington worked together in Game 4 of the Spurs/Clippers series, which the Spurs lost at home.

This is Williams' 4th career playoff game. He has never previously worked a Spurs playoff game.

Those are some terrible refs, down there with:
Danny Crawford
Scott Foster
Ken Mauer
Ed Malloy
Tony Brothers
Monty McCutchen
Marc Davis

Could you tell me where you got that summary from?

Well, get ready to see those guys a lot, because almost all of them will be Finals officials and will be calling lots of games between now and then. Crawford, Foster, Mauer, McCutchen, and Davis are crew chiefs in this round. The NBA thinks you made a pretty good list of its best officials.

Numbers I've compiled for years and have checked and re-checked.

FWD, your ref stats are terrific tbh

[MI21]

You know it's playoff time when FromWayDowntown starts trotting out his ref stats, which do actually affect my feelings about upcoming games

I know, coincidently the Spurs end up on the wrong side of the whistle 99.5% of the time.

Ah okay, thanks for posting

Let's Do This SPURS!
