    Hope Harden will be MVP tonight. On the court, and then at Treasures.

    Then save yourself the time and you stop watching entirely.

    We don’t have Treasures in LA, but James will find one of our many others.

    When do we learn who's officiating this game? How long before tip-off, typically?

    Or, I could just use this repository of all humanity's knowledge, and find out for myself. From here: https://official.nba.com/referee-assignments/
    "Referee assignments are posted at approximately 9:00 AM, ET, each game day."

    J.R. posted the refs on page 2 of this thread. I don't recognize any of the names. That's good, right?

    That is incredible that they just skipped over his time with Houston, without which the Clippers wouldn't have invited him to a try-out. Imagine how much Harden's image would be changed, if one of the teams from a major coastal media market got him. (No, the Gulf Coast doesn't count as a 'coast' for this purpose.) They wouldn't be able to contain themselves from gushing about his scoring, his efficiency, how it's 'the modern template for how basketball should be played in the 21st century', yadda, yadda.

    Fake news: all of it.

    Gediminas Petraitis is my favorite ref.

    The women are good too (Lauren Holtkamp, Natalie Sago, Jenna Schroder...would bang all)

    No egos from any of these refs. You tend to get more egos, agendas from the vets.

    Nope, I haven’t had cable in years. But I really stopped watching after game 7 of WCF two years ago.

    I’ll watch some highlights if we win and that’s good enough.

    Exactly!

    They screw us over just enough to lose more regular season games to *** up our seeding and if we are still #1 seed they screw us in 7 game series and avoid 'extra MVP awards' for Harden while still trying to benefit from ratings draw from being a formidable opponent to square off with their big market darling teams.

    If he could shoot from outside he would still put up 30 without even trying, like James does.
