Basketball Jones, Sometimes ???
 

Sorry, at this point in my life I'm not a big NBA fan. I follow the NBA in spurts. In high school I was a big fan. Then I lost interest. Then, I got interested again with Larry Bird, and Ervin Johnson. Michael Jordon kept my interest a little, and since then, I've kind of lost interest again. I've followed the Celtics since high school (Bill Russell was my favorite player, and still is) but I wouldn't consider myself a real big Celtics fan, it's just that I like them better than the other NBA teams. And, I'm certainly not a fan of NBA officials. I couldn't name one if he was punching me in the face.

I love high school basketball. I love officiating high school basketball. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I think the final 6 will be Joe Crawford, Dan Crawford, Scott Foster, Ken Mauer, Mike Callahan, and Bill Kennedy.

I now think that Joe Crawford will be CC for game 6. In that case, I think Dan Crawford will CC game 7 if applicable with Scott Foster being in that game as well.

I have a PC foul in NCAA or lower for sure. Not sure that is marginal as players went to the floor because of contact.

Peace

It was close. He was only is the path with two feet down in time for the dribber/shooter to take 5-6 more steps. But it was close. ;)

Game 6:

Crew Chief: Joe Crawford
Referee 1: Mike Callahan
Referee 2: Ken Mauer
Alternate: Marc Davis

Game 7 predictions:

Perhaps Dan Crawford, Foster, and Capers or Kennedy?

If I am not mistaken, these guys have been the same crew or similar crew the entire playoffs. Like Danny Crawford and Mark Davis (both from Chicago) were on the same crew for at least most of the playoffs. So if Dan Crawford works Game 7, so will Mark Davis. Or at least that has seemed to be the pattern. I guess APG could tell us, but I believe this crew in Game 6 has also worked together most of the playoffs.

Peace

Callahan and Joey C. are both from Philly.

They could not help the 76ers get into the playoffs? Or did that magic machine that makes balls go through the basket not work when the 76ers are playing?

Peace

The NBA has gone to a more crew system more so this playoffs than in years past. Dunno if they'll stick to that for a possible game 7.

Helluva game. Very tough to officiate. I would like two videos please.

44 seconds left in OT, LeBron James drive, Danny Green strip.

5 seconds left in OT, Manu Ginobili drive, Ray Allen strip.

I don't have the video, but I thought the Allen strip was fantastic defense and I'm still trying to find the foul the announcers were wanting.

Agree.......

Green play is great defense.....

I think Allen fouls Ginobili...roughly 7 seconds.to go....at worst Heat still has a great chance down 1 with 7 seconds....

OT plays
 

I liked the no-call with Green/LeBron.

I thought Ginobili traveled before he was fouled. In my opinion, it's hard to reward him for the extra step by sending him to the line.
