Thank god it’s not Tony Brothers.
Ayo, I have to say it. Marc Davis’s favourite app being Cisco Anyconnect is one of the most unhinged serial killer answers I’ve ever seen.
What is that?
It’s the VPN that remote workers use to connect their offense to the corporate server
It’s an opportunity to throw something in the Google search bar an enterprise VPN. I don’t even think there’s a consumer version, it’s for businesses.
Lmfao I really thought you were joking.
I work at Cisco and it’s a garbage app lmao, Not even the team working on that app would answer it , Why is that an answer, I have so many questions
Isn’t Davis usually considered one of the top 5 worst referees? Just slightly below Foster and Brothers.
Marc Davis usually lets the players play physical. Unless there’s an escalation/fight, then they tighten their whistles
Nearly 70ft in the last game he officiated this series
Most people have no idea what makes a good or bad referee.
A lot of players actually like foster
Reddit knows better…
By your logic, redditors shouldn’t support Foster either, since CP3 doesn’t like him. I mean, surely you don’t think you know more about the NBA than CP3, right?
According to all the children on Reddit, every referee is bad
People have been pretty consistently supportive of Zarba in this series
Wasn’t it just like 3-4 weeks ago people were freaking out about how biased Zarba was for wearing SGA’s shoes?
Not saying it didn’t happen, but I don’t remember that particular outrage incident personally
It was probably only really on this sub but but yeah people were not happy
Some food for thought:
John Goble and Mitchell Ervin reffed in game 1 (SA won 122-115).
Josh Tiven reffed in game 2 (OKC won 122-113).
Marc Davis was the crew chief for game 3 (OKC won 123-108).
Nick Buchert reffed in game 4 (SA won 103-82).
Do what you want with that information.
Game 8
Not much to do with that info..
So basically it’s a wash. Balanced ref team
A lot fouls will be called. A lot of free throws will be shot. OKC will be allowed to be more physical. OKC wins.
Post number 3 about ref assignment….
Tells you how the fans feel about the state of NBA basketball. The brand is being damaged by the perception of flopping and refs controlling the game
This is simply karma farming. Refs are hot topic right now, no one cares about ref assignment this many hours before the game.
The popular consensus is that a Tony Brothers led reffing crew would have given OKC a noticeable advantage. People shouldn’t care who the ref crew is but they do… why? Because several times in these playoffs the refs have negatively impacted the game particularly in the SA/OKC series.
The post may well be karma farming. Refs being a hit topic is definitely NOT.
I mean, why wouldn’t people be interested in ref assignment? Some refs are clearly much better than others. I’ve been waiting since yesterday to see if Brothers would be officiating this game. He’s not? Good, then I’m happy.
I’d bet that teams (thunder and spurs) have analysis of all the refs and instruct players based on that. Like these refs don’t really call this type of foul, so make sure you do it to Wemby/SGA as much as possible,
No need to bet on it. Of course teams understand ref tendencies. Refs will often also communicate their tendencies to teams/players. This happens at literally every level of basketball.
I can’t believe they’ve done this
Wiiiild.
can’t believe betting odds would swing on who is going to ref this game. Such a bizzare place NBA is rn, thanks Adam Silver
what odds changed?
Spurs have a chance
They have a chance regardless of who the refs are
This is looking to be a great game 7
Spurs got this, Silver wants the parity to stay because Imagine we go 6 straight years of a different champion in this decade
Was referee assignments posted on this sub when magic vs pistons, cavs vs pistons, celts vs sixers, cavs vs raptors game 7s?
Yes.
Nes. I mean yo
