    Not just that crew, but none of the refs from yesterday is working today, except Tony Bro.

    I also checked all 1st Round crews. This is the ONLY time so far a crew *chief* has worked B2B this playoffs.

    There are 36 total 2019 playoff refs, and I think 8 possible crew chiefs. I’m willing to bet none of the 36 have worked two days in a row, it’s possibly even by Union wish to allow each to work same amt of games.

    Here’s the link, if you want to double check whether any ref (not just crew chiefs) have worked B2B. Use the Date selector in upper right.​

    NBA will do their best to extend the series by any means necessary.

    Good find. The NBA is definitely not doing much to dispel concerns about ref assignments. Scheduling should just be an algorithm, and as such there should be an explanation for this.

    (For what it's worth, I would've also liked to face Foster against the Jazz, to reduce the chances of more Foster later)

    Brothers? How many of them are there?

    Scott Foster being saved for emergencies.

    I guess they are saving Scott Foster for the 2nd round.

    Silver knows it wouldn't be fair if the Rockets had more rest than the Worriers.

    Well, **** that. At least we are 3 point favorites this time, that should help the NBA bend the knee to Vegas and allow a sweep still.

    Well it's certainly interesting but could be coincidental. I guess we'll find out tonight.

    I think it's only fair since Warriors-Clippers series will go at least 5 games, that this series goes 5 at the very least as well.

    NBA not taking any risks by simply relying on Klay Thompson.

    As I pointed out to you people previously, there are multiple Tony Brothers. So there's no "B2B" at all.

    Push through the corruption. The Jazz have shown they aren't good enough to win with Harden starting 0-15, Mitchell having 20+ before halftime, Gobert having his best defensive game with 7 blks, and the refs helping them the whole game.

    I expect Brothers to be shameless, but the Rockets can still win.

    Derozan threw the ball at Foster, we need to throw the ball at Brothers.
