No brothers or foster means theyre gonna let the teams play out. I expect a fair game

Pretty sure we already knew the teams selected for this one bud 

Wdym? That is the team selection.

Fr fr we shouldn’t even know the refs names lmao

What team selection? I think we know the teams who are playing, it’s not a mystery announcement

We all know Spurs winning if the refs stay out of it

you might want to look inward brother

People tryna make money this info could be valuable

This sub entirely focuses on refs by choice then talks about how sad it is that they have to focus on refs

Seriously! Let’s the players decide the outcome of the game not the refs! NBA needs some serious work done

Team rotations rarely change drastically, especially rare in game 7s (barring injury emergencies) when it’s very unlikely some who starts plays so bad to get benched (lowkey Castle deserves that humiliation the way he threw away games 2 and 3, but unfortunately it would cripple the spurs so his travesty’s of games will go unpunished my the org more or less), or someone on the bench plays so good they get the starting nod or a major minutes increase

Because you know which ones will favor ticky-tack bullshit calls.

Foster did his job as the extender, he can rest now

I was hoping for Foster so this series would go at least 8

Foster did better than Brothers. Brothers ruined game5.

That’s one thing everyone can agree on, I still can’t get over how they fucked the spurs over with the whole challenge situation, I’d rather lose a good game than turn the tv off when I see the bench mob

At least it’s not Tony Brothers.

Pretty much the expected with a crew that will allow physicality and let them play since this is probably the biggest game 7 in years for the league

We’ve been asked to lower him from the rafters at Paycom center in the middle of the third quarter. His chosen entrance music is weirdly Landslide, but only the Smashing Pumpkins version.

Joey Crawford from the rafters!

But whose side is he on?!

The 3rd guy is probably a redditor

Better than the fkn tony brothers!

What are their reffing styles? I don’t really notice them much compared to James Williams, foster, or brothers.

At least the game will be watchable

Damn, so these 3 refs are all white?

You sound like my probate attorney.

How are both teams going to win? I thought that was against the rules. 🤔

Except maybe OKC.

If they call a clean game, the bitching will be limited to the delusional. If they decide the game is about them and drag the game into the mud, people will bitch. Its really up to them.

and it’s probably gonna be justified. Marc Davis is terrible.

Death, taxes, people bitching about refs

I stopped inviting a certain friend to the Clemson games because of his complaints about the referees. Made for a negative experience. And if he had his way, the games would take 4 hours. Appreciate the lakers flare. Elden Campbell first round pick from Clemson. And Lakers champion Horace Grant. Glory Days.

ehhhhh, the Angel Hernandez (and debatably the one or two weeks when CB Bucknor was a hot topic before injury) era in MLB was a hoot and a half

In the premier league we just hate all the refs 

Fans bitch and moan about refs in literally every sport lol. The nba isn’t special

It happens in the hockey subreddit as well. Hockey has a super vibes based ref culture, so different styles massively swings games just like the NBA.

Baseball definitely has it too. I don’t pay a lick of attention to baseball and I know who Angel Hernandez is

MMA does this too

Nah, the NFL subreddit goes full conspiracy with the refs especially when it concerned the Chiefs.

The only league where refs get nicknames

Yea Davis is awful. He is a small step better than brothers

because many these chief refs are vets and have been around for a while

If you watch a lot of game you’ll get familiar with theae refs

I don’t know their first names but those tony brothers are really hated, cool that siblings get to ref together like that

Steph, u forgot Steph

Sneaking Kobe in there

Kobe? Really? Lmao

we have no choice

actually?

And the people would be right

This isn’t a NBA problem - this happens in all sports because largely refs aren’t and can’t be perfect

And miss all the salt, toxicity, and crash outs? No way lmao.

Foster did well on game 4 tho? They didn’t call okc flops that game

If you think Foster was favoring OKC in game 4 then you seriously need to reconsider how biased you are.

coming back to avenge them

Believe he didn’t ref enough regular szn games to be eligible this yr but ya I agree

The Thunder reddit

2 is usually the maximum. They’re down to 4 crews at this point

But to say all referees are the same is be naive.

Truth is OKCs playstyle is heavily reliant on refs discretion. Even if we consider the physical defense a wash, since Spurs play that style too, if SGA gets small touch fouls then its going yo be hard to beat them

Game 3, which they did fine until the third when it got out of control and they clamped hard to prevent it from spiraling

Davis was the ref for game 3 (66 free throws)

Bruh that Goble guy called Reaves a bitch. Well known okc stan
