Dan Crawford
Mike Callahan
Jason Phillips

Projected refs for game 4. The first two have huge stats towards the home team this year.

I did like the Cavs prior to ref assigment but then again i did like the Cavs in gm2 also. Ref stats has been spot on 3 games in a row now this finals so this is very much something to consider moving forward. i am very much anticipating ref assigment for gm4. Leaning Cavs as i have this going 7 games so a Cavs win wld achieve this - fabricated drama.  

Also I didn't consider if you go 20-2 you don't really need to follow anyone else's plays anyway.

Good work

I naturally tend to skip over huge threads like these, so I didn't see yours until the other day until recently.

Hopefully you stay hot. I know it's almost impossible to go 40-2 but I like parlays so if I am on a bad streak I lose little and on good streak win huge. This is assuming you do at least 6 teams or more.

I think this is all destiny w/ the stars, moon, planets all aligning for this play and game. One of those spots that feels good and aligns w/ my predictions.

I'll post final plays tomorrow. It's night time here in Aust and need to go to bed now.



It is indeed Crawford, Callahan & Phillips. The last time i bet w/ these 3 ref'ing was in gm7 of GS/OKC series where we were on GS taking the series at home. That was the very last time we saw those 3 until now.

updated:

Refs are 24-10 SU for the home team. Crawford is 10-4 SU for the home team. Callahan is 13-1  for the home team.



Play:

CLE -2

Ref stats are 3-0 these finals. Let's see if they can't go a flawless 4-0 after gm4.

The fabricated drama may be in effect. The narrative after gm1+2 is how Cavs are outmatched. After gm3 is how bad GS looked & Cavs has abit of a chance after all. When & if Cavs takes gm4 & evens the series the perception will be how even these 2 teams actually really are. This insures apotential gm7 & the drama brings in ratings. A gm7 would be HUGE for the league after the series is even at both 2 a piece & then 3 a piece. Silver will be laughing all the way to the bank by end of season!

I think So. I was leaning Cavs, ref stats support that. It may be one of those plays where everything aligns perfectly

Hey Bomber, does it concern you at all that, according to a number websites, Cavs have considerably more public tickets? I dont necessarily trust those sources, since it seems most are sponsored by sportsbooks, but the public had GSW in game 3 according to these sites. I gather that, in your experience, ref assignments take precedence over public perception. Would you care to shed some light on that particular paradigm of your decision?

According the same sites, the tickets are split on the spread now. Makes sense that it will come down to ref assignments at this point.

I explained the play above. Ref stats are 3-0. We ride it out. It's just that simple.

So much for your ref theory tonight.. Refs are 100% pro GS ... LeBron 2 fouls in 1st qtr yeah that happens all the time. Buying out of Cle live now while I can.. No way they win the way refs are calling this game.

If you watched any of this game you can see Refs don't give a garbage about Cleveland. GS closes this out Monday in GS Cavs are a joke, they should be happy NBA had GS lay down game 3 so they didn't get swept

the nba is not run by david stern anymore,  the new commish adam silver doesn't care about money and ratings.   your heat vs cavs conference championship would of happened under david stern...and the cavs warriors would go 7....not anymore breh, there's a new sherrif in town and he gives zero people.

Commisioner doesn't care about money or ratings?

This is a business bro. It's all about the ratings and money.

Kinda how you disappeared when your Miami Toronto series went belly up? For the record nobody here is talking garbage except me(it was just a joke plus I've been here all along) The other guys have somewhat constructive posts with fair points. Ego much? Take it easy
