    Why would the league deliberately try to shorten a series GS is already favored to win, to send them to a fourth straight finals to play the same team for the fourth straight time? If it was rigged they would rig it in our favor for sure.

    Yes, I groan at seeing that crew, but mostly because it means we'll be seeing a game where the refs make it about them and that's never fun to watch.

    You cannot look at a box score and tell if the reffing was bad
    Bad Reffing is situational
    If I give you best player 4 fouls in the 1st quarter and none the rest of the night
    It doesn't look bad with him have 4 fouls . .. but it definitely affected the whole game

    I would like to know what Draymond Green fouls and technicals were called with these refs. How many more techs can he get before another suspension?

    he needs 5 or 6 more before he gets a suspension. the league has managed this issue well this year -- they probably had a committee of millennial interns (perhaps mckinsey?) assigned to this portfolio to ensure things go smoothly for the finals

    It's not a matter of already blaming the officials for tonight's outcome.

    It's a matter of the NBA assigning universally loathed officials for the biggest game of the season to date.

    It is safe to say all fans despise him. Tony Brothers as well.

    Just shows that the NBA is not even trying when it comes to officiating.

    Foster AND Brothers???

    Damnit. The league ain't f**king around for Game 1. I hope that D'Antoni makes the team well aware that they will likely have to overcome 5-on-8 odds in order to win tonight.

    The nba is so ****ing stupid for this. Why have two of the most incompetent and controversial refs for the biggest series?

    No other Sport is as tainted than the NBA and their betting Referees, Mafia insider job to screw the fans, the purity of the game is almost gone in the NBA. Kings vs Lakers Series is still talked about. NBA so called Analysts make it worse being a kiss a** to the NBA never criticizing any referee the whole year. I am almost done being a NBA fan in general. Adam Silver a certified Illuminati Worshipper, Sellout, Sold his Soul to the Devil to become a Commisioner.

    Because they can be told what to do. Foot soldiers don't have to be competent at their jobs, just need to be good at following orders without asking questions.

    This. RATIONALITY, folks. Every team thinks these particular refs are always out to get them. Why? Because these refs are polarizing, controversial, and in some cases maybe not quite as good as most NBA referees.

    Well if the refs are so bad tonight, hopefully they'll make bad calls for both teams so it all evens out; that or make more bad calls against the Warriors than us, right? :D
