Predict the refs for Game 3

[Kuberski33]

Who's the guy who's record for home teams covering the spread was something like 52-20 or something like that.  Was mentioned in a thread here a week or so ago.

Him, Salvatore and Violet.

I can tell you who one of them will be.  I was talking to my brother who had beers with an mlb umpire.  Apparently there is sports officiating in their blood because his dad was an ump and his brother is a ref.  Anyways, his brother will be officiating in the 3rd game.  I wish I knew his name...but all I know is his story.  If any of you have watched the real sports with Bryant Gumbel, he did a story on their family.  I'll try to look for his name later.

Blake, are you thinking of the Garretson's by any chance?

Mark Wunderlich
Kenny Mauer
Violet Palmer

My three favorite officials.

My backup choice:

see Bahku's illustration.

I can always hope for: Benny Hill, Steve Martin, and Monty Python.

Only the best of the best of the best for game 3.

Violet Palmer
Bennett Salvatore
Kenny Mauer or Socal native Leon Wood

Very freaky, Nick ... this is exactly what I had typed, before opting for the improvements below! Truly the most horrendous lineup in the history of the NBA.

If I were one of the first three gentlemen you suggested I think I might be insulted. Everyone knows that Moe, Larry and Curly are way too intellectual and too ethically uncompromising people that are way too overqualified to ever be considered an NBA referee. LOL

Honestly, even dead I think the Stooges could do a better job than most of these refs.

Very true ... I say we dig 'em up ... do the NBA a favor!

The celtics may not get as many calls as they got game 1 and 2 but i still see them getting more calls than the lakers. (unless the lakers spearhead to the basket every time)

Lakers unlike the hawks lack the guts to drive in, may kobe try to save them

[CoachBo]

Bennett "The Rat" Salvatore

Violet Palmer

Joey Crawford

The Terrible Trifecta

[dark_lord]

knowing the nba, this guy will work the finals.....

    Why is every one making such a big deal over fouls in game two? We got 21 and they got called for 28. Is that such a huge difference?

[CoachCowens]

knowing the nba, this guy will work the finals.....

A young Kenny Mauer?

Actually just and a pint of wd-40 to that mop and yeah, that could be Kenny Mauer.

[WBrownTrophy]

I'm not sure who will ref, but I am willing to bet the Lakers get at least 10 more free throws than us.
