There are 12 officials selected to work the finals...and going off of last year, 3 alternates. If you're selected to work a game (which all 12 officials are guaranteed at least one game), you will not be an alternate in any other game.

Goble is very good. If he isn't doing the finals this week, it won't be long.

1. Do the 12 selected each work once during games 1-4?
2. If yes for #1, how are the officials for games 5-7 determined? Are the officials graded and the bottom three dropped?

Much harder to play Fantasy Referee Administrator with basketball refs than soccer. There isn't a rhyme I have noticed. I'm sure a couple guys get graded out but I'd wager they pretty much know the top 6 refs in the league and give those guys games 6 and 7 if it comes down to that. Expect some combination of Foster, Joey, Danny, Duke, Monty, and Mauer/Capers/Brothers/Washington (those four tied in my mind) for the later games.

I'd wager we don't see Brothers again this series, he was pretty poor tonight.

The foul that he missed when Lebron got whacked across the arms with around a minute remaining was truly egregious.
I think that alone would warrant any league with decent accountabilty standards to not assign him again during the current postseason.

He also missed Lebron's travel on the same play. Two obvious no-calls directly in front of him on one play? Ouch.

I'm pretty sure Joey will work game 3 or 4 with Mike Callahan and Ken Mauer. Alt. Ed Malloy.

The other crew would probably be Dan Crawford with Davis and Stafford.

I also agree, Brothers is probably done working this season.

Wasn't Brothers at Lead with the play right in front of him? Traveling isn't his call there, that's Trail.
