Bavetta is in the Swamp tonight...

[Sec24Row7]

So we probably get...


Salvatore...

Salvatore...

We're almost overdue for Javie at this point.

[phyzik]

They can give us Javie, Salvatore and bring back crawford for a guest appearance for all I care, Spurs by 7.

[Sec24Row7]

Yeah... we had Salvatore in Rd 1 and haven't seen Javie yet...


Javie is a good bet...

Didnt he do the last Bulls/Piston's game though?

[FromWayDowntown]

Could be that we get both Javie and Salvatore. Javie hasn't worked a game since last Wednesday (GST @ UTH) and has only worked one other 2nd round game (Game 1 of CLE/NJ). Salvatore hasn't worked a game since last Tuesday's Game 2 of NJ/CLE and he worked Game 1 of CHI/DET.

Each of them is due to work a game soon, Javie can't work any series other than SA/PNX or DET/CHI; Salvatore can't work any series other than SA/PNX or UTH/GST.

I'd think that at least one of them has to be in SA tonight.

Salvatore's my boy. He's gonna have his Spurs homer contact lenses in tonight.

This must be the Suns' new strategy.

[T Park]

Javie? Spurs have a shot.

Salvatore? Were screwed.

I actually thought about posting a poll earlier today on which of Bavetta, Salvatore, and Javie would show up tonight

Looks like we're on the same page FWD, let's hope we're both wrong.

There are some other possibilities, obviously. We haven't seen Bernie Fryer yet in this round. Nor have we seen Jack Nies, Joe Derosa, Ron Garretson, or Luis Grillo. We can't see any of the officials who've already worked games in this series (Delaney, Capers, Wunderlich, D. Crawford, Clark, B. Kennedy, Rush, Donaghy, Willard) and we won't see anyone who worked yesterday who we haven't already seen (Mauer, McCutchen, Callahan, Brothers, Washington). Nor, obviously, can we see anyone working tonight in Jersey who hasn't already worked one of our games (Bavetta, Forte).

At least one of the following is in SA tonight:

Javie
Salvatore
Derosa
Fryer
Garretson
Nies

He or they will be joined by one or more of the following:

Leon Wood
Scott Foster
Sean Corbin
Luis Grillo
Michael Smith
Derrick Stafford

1200 WOAI said that Steve Javie is the lead official.

1200 WOAI said that Steve Javie is the lead official.

Bennett Salvatore would have meant a tightly called game that favored the Suns.

Steve Javie means that Mike D'Antoni will be ejected.
