This series is 2-2-1-1-1 right? When do they do 2-3-2? That's just the Finals correct?

Yep

An obvious benefit of a timeout on the road is quelling crowd momentum and noise, which can help energerize a team and impact refereeing calls.

I try not to bitch too much about the officiating my name isn't petegz28.

But when I do is mostly because it is so one sided or horrible that there really isn't any excuse for missing those types of calls. Like driving into the lane to make a layup and getting punched in the face right in front of the ref and no call.

And honestly last night I only saw 2 really bad calls and they were back to back and both involved Harden. One was the obvious charge call that wasn't even close and then the makeup call right after that.

There was one call on Collison where he didn't even make contact with Duncan. There were a few bad ones on each side and honestly there are calls where they are just out of position or they are bang, bang. The thing that annoys me the most is how different they call a game from quarter ti quarter. Last night you could murder someone in the first quarter. In the second quarter they are calling tough fouls. It doesnt make sense but i just focus on the basketball.

Some people just focus on that too much. I'm not referring to you mostly fans at the game.
