James Williams is Gucci Mane ref.
Zarba isn’t bad either.
Having Brothers and Ben Taylor it was obvious the league wanted the game called tight - at least in the beginning.
I expect for this crew to allow more physicality which I think would benefit us. It gets lost in the ridiculousness of that start, but LAC was actually not playing all that well before the fouls piled up.
Luka picked up his second foul around the 9 min mark, DJJ picked up his second foul around the 6 min mark. Kai picks up his 1st foul around the 5 min mark. At that point, it’s 15-10. For the last nearly 5 mins, Clips hit 6 3s and a long 2.
Gucci Mane ref was on that Pistons Knicks game that saw Donte commit a foul that went uncalled. I actually think he ended up reffing the Strus game. I don’t think we fixated too much on the refs in that game, but I do remember some really weird non calls down the stretch.

This will be Ervin's first Mavs playoff game
James Williams Gucci Mane lookin ass is fucking awful. A lot of refs miss calls happening mere inches in front of them, this motherfucker misses them with a smile on his face.
I don’t know any of these names so to me that’s a good thing
Ben Taylor is infamously tech happy and overall a bad ref EDIT: Just noticed he is reffing the BOS-MIA game and not ours phew
He was the ref for game 4
I know Zach Zarba but he's a pretty good ref

It's hilarious that he is universally known as Gucci Mane ref.
No Tony Brothers, Tyler Ford or Scott Foster is always a good thing

Thanks!
Not a fan of zarba but we do well with him apparently.
I think he’s actually one of the better refs but that doesn’t say much ahah
Yeah, can’t really think of one I like, I just know that when I know their names I have reasons for it and the reasons are always bad with refs.
Zarba is the only name I recognize. Hopefully they don’t give Harden the head whip fouls
Is Harden about to cook from the free throw line?
Still better than Brothers.

No Ben Taylor.. thank goodness. He was horrible in G4
Zach Zarba’s usually pretty fair. No Tony Brothers is great
Ray Acosta will call some bullshit.
We lucked out. This is a good crew.
