Thought it was interesting that Kurt Rambis said this afternoon that this was a very "quiet" crew. The regular fan wouldn't realize they were there....thought he was taking a shot at Joey and maybe Foster, whom I'm sure will be the CC in game 4....

I don't know, Scott's really busy with his girl's AAU team, does he have time to make it San Antonio?

He might if he doesn't slow the game down with any unnecessary game interrupting technical fouls.

More reason not to pay any attention to commentators that know little to nothing about officiating. Mark Davis was involved in ejecting Rondo from a playoff game a season ago. And this series is not as contentious or has the same dead ball challenges. This is why commentators need to stay in their lane. Players dictate how they react to things, not necessarily the officials.

Didn't think this deserved its own thread, so I'll put this here.

Personally, I think the officiating has been very good. There will always be calls to discuss but for the most part, these guys have stayed out of the way. They're letting them play. Technical fouls have been non-existent.

BTW, great wave off on Bosh's dunk at the end of the 1st half.

What made the wave-off 'great'??

I was thinking much the same thing; the officiating's been top-notch - consistent and sharp. Therefore bench and player decorum has been a non-issue.

Chris Bosh has been fined $5,000 dollars for violating the league's anti-flopping during game 4.

Good call. Good fine.

Probably was still a foul, too.

Hmm, not so sure about that. tough physical rebounding play, but not sure that's an NBA foul.

This wasn't a "rebounding play." It was an illegal screen on help defense during an opposite-side drive to the basket.

Sorry bob, misspoke myself - you're correct - but still don't think it was a foul.

Looks like it will be Scotty Foster as CC if there is a game 7.

It'll be Joe or Dan Crawford as CC IMO...I'm interested in who they'll have as CC for game 6. If they keep Joe or Dan out for that game, then you'll have Joe and Crawford in game 7 and more than likely Foster as the third. The last game 7 in the NBA Finals in 2010 had the same crew.

There's nothing on the play-by-play at this mark. I'm going to take a wild guess and say you're asking about the RA block/charge that was called a charge by Ed Malloy at the lead?
