    We don't want the Foster Brothers, but who do we want?

    I'm the opposite. Since there are always people WHINING that so and so ref specifically hates the Rockets, I wonder who they think is pro Rockets.

    I hope there aren't any. It's not in their job description to play favorites.

    That Ed Malloy dude wasn't all that bad. He makes mistakes too though.

    Ken Mauer isn't that. I am new to this, getting to know their names.

    It's kinda like playing Guess Who. :)

    @pippendagimp (and others) could help knock a few more guys down.

    I remember seeing somewhere on Twitter that when Ben Taylor does our games we have a pretty good record. Either way we just need to find ways to win !

    of the zebras that could be lead refs, i'd want jason phillips or james capers. zach zarba not as much, but still MUCH better than the obvious fixers refs

    These playoffs with mauer, foster, callahan as main ref, the home team has won 20%,40%,50% of the time, respectively. For what it's worth.

    The NBA gets what it wants. Doesn't matter who wears that whistle.

    I continue be amazed at how much attention some fans pay to which refs are making which calls. I have a hard enough time just keeping track of what the players are doing out there.

    So the NBA wanted the Rockets to win round 1? GSW versus HOU clearly is a more desirable matchup than GSW versus UTA from a marketing/business standpoint.

    Funny how that Jazz fan everyone here loves who gave his postgame reactions never mentioned that variable.

    Pretty much any ref who is present during a game lost is a bad ref and is a direct stooge to silver. We would be 82-0 if it weren't for all the biased refs.

    I wonder if we could get Jim Nantz and Hannah storm to dress up as zebras
