dimndimn · Answer

per NBA, it&#x27;s showing Danny Crawford, James Capers, Marc Davis (Alternate, Sean Corbin)

dimndimn · Answer

All three of these refs were born in Chicago, Illinois, grew up and went to school there.  Considering they all have a tendency of calling fouls certain ways, I&#x27;m guessing they will be heavily leaning towards Indiana.

These ref assignments are no coincidence, &#x9;its been going on for a long time, Stern knows what he is doing.

&#xD;&#xA;So you are saying they were assigned to favor Indiana?  Makes no sense...NBA wants Heat in the Finals if I had to guess haha.

[/Quote]Rodney Mott was born in Indiana, 100 miles from Bankers Life Fieldhouse.  As usual, Stern wants this series as long as possible.  What good does it do if Heat won 4-1 and had 9 days without any basketball at all?

So 4-1 isn&#x27;t even in play...?

dimndimn that&#x27;s right, he wants a long series but look at spurs sweep. Although the markets there are smaller than IND and MIA I bet he didn&#x27;t want to see the Spurs sweep, and in game 4 refs had no mercy calling fouls on MEM.Still, I think IND covers and I wrote it over and over again, but what does scare me is that Stern probably wants Lebron in the finals, and he know that if IND goes 3-2 tonight, Heat&#x27;s in trouble.

dimndimn · Answer

was in reference to game 4.

dimndimn · Answer

I don&#x27;t think he likes sweeps at all.  More playoff games, more revenue.  It&#x27;s absurd how NBA takes 2 months to play out their playoff games.

dimndimn · Answer

I think he would most likely want Ind to go 3-2 tonight so Miami can take the next one, and then bring in Joey Crawford for Game 7.  He has worked more playoff games and more NBA Finals than any other active ref for a reason.  It&#x27;s easier for the refs to give Miami games than Indiana, imo.  Agree with the Indy cover tonight, tho.

It doesn&#x27;t matter who the refs are. All refs love LeBron. He&#x27;ll get alot of calls tongiht as usual, especially to make up for fouling him out Game 4. MIA -7.5

MACKY · Answer

Refs. were born in Chicago, the HEAT beat Chicago on last series, those REFS. are now upset with the HEAT hmmm... "I'm going to call favor to Indiana"

I don't know about that but.... My play will be on UNDER 185.5

I know all last 4 game are under but this game will be a defensive game, more physical because the league crack down floppy play.

None of these refs are HF friendly (-7.5) but if Heat are going to "go off" like game 3 then this is the likly time/place.

jtoler · Answer

People can mull over this game till they are blue but if the refs dont want a team to cover or win then they wont.
