    2 writers in a USA Today article had us beating the Warriors in 7, getting the chip in 5 and 6 over the Raptors.

    Those 2 better have voted for Harden MVP if they consider Rockets to win the chip.

    If the Rockets get to the WCF, there's a decent chance they will have HCA. The way I see it, Portland has no chance of getting there and Denver is my pick to get upset in the first round.

    That leaves OKC whom we will have HCA over...

    The teams needs to clear the flu before Golden State. Everyone get sick now and we can get past this in 5-7 days.

    All your corrupt officials are belong to us!

    “We really want this system to be a meritocracy. People who are putting in the work, putting in the performance are the ones that should serve the game at the highest level at this time of the year.

    The playoff refs are selected following season-long evaluations from the league’s referee operations staff, input from teams and play-calling accuracy.

    “We have rating and ranking of officials based on our work we do with officials all year long,” McCutchen said.

    Coaches and teams can offer input via a midseason evaluation and feedback following each game.

    “That gives us an idea of how the stakeholders being impacted by our work believe who’s working well throughout the season,” McCutchen said.

    The NBA’s analytics staff provides accuracy data.

    “We have a very rigorous vetting process,” McCutchen said. “Those three different groups give us a process which we then can see who consistently has done the work that warrants the best games of the year at the best time of the year.”

    The league narrows its referees to 28 for the conference semifinals, 20 for the conference finals and 12 for the Finals using the same three-pronged evaluation process.

    “It’s vital to understand that when you have good processes good things take place,” McCutchen said. “I’m just really confident we have the people who are able to handle the work.”

    I just wanna take this time to spotlight my charity work from earlier in this season to really turn around one of my favorite posters @Reeko

    Even if it was actually James who did it, I'm taking credit for your positive change around.

    Your welcome bros :cool:

    Glad we got the real you back.
