Ken Mauer and Bill Kennedy spotted at the Marriot

[fundamental9903]

I guess that answers that question. Wonder who the 3rd ref is going to be.

[Emperor]

F'n Kennedy. Goddamnit.

[bobcatfan4life]

Just need Tony Brothers to complete the holy trinity.

[UZER]

Kennedy......crap

[FromWayDowntown]

Kennedy may just be here to be the alternate. He was the Game 3 alternate. Usually there are only 12 officials working this round and if that's true this year, we know who those 12 are and Kennedy isn't one of them.

[Ron Swanson]

Steve Javie out of retirement for tomorrow.

[jARS mEsH sEt]

Mauer famously gave the spurs like a 6 or 7 point possession by calling like 3 technicals on a single play.

[ElNono]

I like Mauer... but one thing that's been pretty clear is that if the Spurs play their best, refs shouldn't make much of a difference..

You seem to be on the pulse with predicting officials, who you got?

If the Spurs play like they have been, even Joey Crawford couldn't keep them from winning.

Kennedy made a pretty big difference in Game 6 of 2012.

We're not the same team and we weren't playing against the same team. I mean, sure, if all of a sudden Lebron gets 30+ freebies, then yeah, sure. KD and WB have always been notorious for getting freebies.

[ElNono]

frankly, neither team has played well at home. Hopefully that changes tomorrow, with Diaw starting. I can't pin any game to the refs so far though. I think as long as the Spurs keep playing solid and Miami keeps looking lost, the refs will be immaterial. We'll see.

[Beaverfuzz]

Kennedy is fine, quit being a bunch of pussies.

[FromWayDowntown]

My hunch after the Game 4 assignments were announced was that Game 5 would be Foster, Mauer, and either Marc Davis or James Capers. Sounds like I got Mauer right; we'll see about the rest.

This.

Our team's focus to win a game officiated by Joey just proved to me how locked in they are. Love my team, Go Spurs Go!

[DJR210]

With the way they've been shooting the last two games they can assign whoever the they want, it ain't gonna make a difference.

Kennedy is an OKC fan IMO.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Joey Crawford is a decent ref when he works Spurs games since the fiasco.

[freetiago]

Miami can easily get away with lots of fouling on the perimeter when they trap
you dont get free throws out of it directly unless in the bonus but it leads to transition dunks for Miami which are huge if not called tbh

[TheGreatYacht]

Here come all the Spurs fans saying they're okay with the refs...

typical ST tbh...

Miami is at good odds with the bookmakers for Foster... that could be dangerous.

[FromWayDowntown]

Foster, Davis, Mauer. Kennedy is the alternate.

Foster, Mauer and Davis. So the same crew as game 1. That worked out ok results wise, but they weren't the best from what I remember.
