gracias, Senor.
Those are very good numbers.
Plus McCutchen seemed okay in Game 3s win.

Not worried about McCutchen, Jason Phillips is the one y'all should keep an eye on... He's pretty bad imo

But as as the refs have been for us this series, the McCutchen crew was the one to show us more love than OKC

Officiating was bad in game 4, but spurs lost the 4th Quarter. I think part of it was the foul trouble on Green and Duncan.

Phillips is a guesser. I still have a vivid recollection of a play in Game 2 of the 2014 Finals where Wade flopped badly on Manu around half-court and it was obvious to anyone who had an eye on the play that it was a flop, but Phillips (who had run past the play) caught only the end of it and without actually seeing what happened, called the foul on Manu:

That's so bad

ill have to check how he's doing so far in the playoffs, but not that bad of a crew as expected

Adams is grabbing and holding on every rebound. Then when someone does it right back, they call a foul.

Also, when he sets picks, he is throwing the chicken wing a lot bumping players off their path, then when Kawhi tries to run through, they call a foul.

I hate players that are extremely physical and knock people around like bowling pins, but then fall to the ground every time you give them resistance back and they get the fouls called. It's frustrating to watch.

Again, the worst kind.

That's how the Warriors play.
Draymond drew a foul literally for holding Ariza's arm in round 1.
When Ariza tried to get away, foul.

Really bad from a Finals official.

First game in the West for Phillips this playoff season.

He's called 6 Eastern Conference games:

IND at TOR (ECFR, Game 2)* - home win
CLE at DET (ECFR, Game 3)* - road win
ATL at BOS (ECFR, Game 4)* - home win
CHA at MIA (ECFR, Game 5) - road win
MIA at TOR (ECSF, Game 1)* - road win
CLE at ATL (ECSF, Game 4) - road win

* = game called with McCutchen as crew chief.

Pretty narrow set of cir stances there.

Off the top of my head, the times the Spurs have been tied 2-2 going into a home Game 5 and the results of Games 5 and 6 in those scenarios:

2014 WCF v. OKC (won Game 5 at home, won Game 6)
2014 WCFR v. DAL (won Game 5 at home, lost Game 6)
2013 WCSF v. GST (won Game 5 at home, won Game 6)
2013 NBAF v. MIA (won Game 5 at home, lost Game 6)
2012 WCF v. OKC (lost Game 5 at home, lost Game 6)
2006 WCFR v. SAC (won Game 5 at home, won Game 6)
2005 WCSF v. SEA (won Game 5 at home, won Game 6)
2004 WCSF v. LAL (lost Game 5 at home, lost Game 6)
2003 WCSF v. LAL (won Game 5 at home, won Game 6)
2003 WCFR v. PNX (won Game 5 at home, won Game 6)
1995 WCF v. HOU (lost Game 5 at home, lost Game 6)
