This is the biggest game of the series IMO. If the Jazz win this one they win the series. If they loose I still think it goes 7 games but the Lakers well win that one.

God I've been waiting for this game since the second game 4 ended. I hope it's a good one. Like longballer said, I think the winner of this game takes the series.

oh hell no!

Quote:

The NBA has announced the following officials for tonight's game

Steve Javie (22nd year - 202 playoff games)
Bob Delaney (21st year - 130 playoff games)
Tom Washington (17th year - 67 playoff games)

The bad news is that Delaney and Sloan have a history. In 1993 in a game against Phoenix Sloan bumped Delaney. However, that was 15 years ago and the two have worked together often since.

The good news is Tom Washington was on the crew that called Game 7 in Houston last year.

According to one of our 1320, K-Fan Loyalists, Roy Barker ...

When Steve Javie is officiating the Jazz are 2-4

When Bob Delaney is officiating the Jazz are 4-3

Both losses to Houston in the first round were when one of these two were officiating (Delaney in Game 3, Javie in Game 5).

Other losses under Javie (@ Dallas Apr 10, @ Lakers Dec 28, @ Knicks Nov 26)

Other losses under Delaney (@ Charlotte Dec 19, @ Lakers Nov 4)

Cool

Those are stats that arn't kept by the general stat community but I would bet if they were kept, a trend would be shown and would be somewhat the same as lets say.... offensive rebounding. at any rate I bet there is more to it than one would think.

Wow. That's something I would never know. Thanks for sharing, Sampson.

ofcourse i feel sicker then i've ever felt in my life, i just might die before tipoff

cooldude32 · 05-14-2008, 09:43 PM

It wouldn't matter who the officials are. They are going call towards the Lakers anyway.

Is it just me, or does anyone else find these Eastern Conference games incredibly boring compared to the West?
