Scott Foster, Joey Crawford, Dick Bavetta.

Welcome to your worst nightmare.

Scott Foster, Joey Crawford, Dick Bavetta.

Welcome to your worst nightmare.

It's OK. The refs don't start going to work until the playoffs. During the season there just getting warmed up and I'm sure the first couple months of the season they could care less anyway. The refs can flip the switch better than any team out there.

 

[Strenuus]

Is it really bad that I still have that name etched in my brain from that one play?

 

[magnifier661]

I think we blow them out

Scott Foster, Joey Crawford, Dick Bavetta.

Welcome to your worst nightmare.

Oh fuck, I take back my blow out prediction

 

[Strenuus]

I think we blow them out

I think we win, but it'll be within 10 points. Durant will probably pull a George, but we prevail, again.

 

[Strenuus]

Oh fuck, I take back my blow out prediction

bahahaha. That's not the ref lineup. We don't know until the morning.

 

[magnifier661]

bahahaha. That's not the ref lineup. We don't know until the morning.

I almost had a heart attack

 

[-Ace-]

Oh fuck, I take back my blow out prediction

just saying it could be worse!

 

[Strenuus]

I almost had a heart attack

I'd be surprised if Scott Foster ever does a game against the Thunder at the RG (Moda Center) again.

Scott foster was the ref that got away

 

[BlazerBeav]

Scott Foster can die in a fire. I will never get over him stealing that game.

It's one of the very rare times I've ever yelled at my tv. I mean, everyone in that building EXCEPT Foster knew it, and even then, I think Foster DID know it.

 

[-Ace-]

I would like to throw in Ken Mauer's name into the "Please Don't Be Reffing The Game Tomorrow" ring.

 

[THE HCP]

Well, I guess this kinda' answers my poll question huh?

 

[-Ace-]

HCP, if you'll be considerate enough for a few seconds to let a rook pick your brain, do you happen to know the name of the song used during our intro video last night at the game? It's one of the better ones this year.

Wish I could help you out man. I work on the TV broadcast and that is a Big Screen Show type a thing....totally different production. Ask the SlyDog guy if he can pass your questions along to those guys.

 

[-Ace-]

Thought it was worth a shot; I gathered that you were TV production, but maybe had the knowledge somehow. Thanks.

Yeah, it's totally different. I'm never around those guys. Wish I could have helped.

 

[-Ace-]

My sister was teammates with one of the video guys on a pool squad; I used to get on the big screen once a game. That was cool.

This was a good one this year:

What a humble rookie! This young man will go far.

You fell for that "Old guy knows something" routine? What a moron!

Fuck. I destroyed my chance.

 

[milehighblazer]

I think this is a game where our bigs should be ultra effective snagging boards. Lopez could have a nice showing against Perkins in a matchup where I think he'll physically outmatch his competition.
