Isaac Barnett is the only one of those I really dislike.
Michael Price is tech happy, but otherwise adequate.

| I thought Flores was the #13 I dislike. Did she change numbers?

| At least Tom Mauer isn’t listed. He’s one of my least favorite refs, even though I believe he’s a Minnesotan.

The numbers in brackets are the number of years they've been working in the league, not their shirt numbers. |

My usual:
It is guaranteed that every official in the playoffs will make multiple bad calls.
It is possible, if not likely, that one or more of those bad calls will have a direct impact on the outcome of the game and/or playoff series.
None of the bad calls will be made because a particular official dislikes a particular team or player. Some may result from the anticipation of seeing a veteran do something for the 100th time that resulted in a foul the previous 99 (or didn't).
All that a player, coach or team can do is play well enough that the inevitable bad calls don't turn out to be game-changers. If they do, the best response is to look in the mirror and say "If I/we had played better, that whistle wouldn't have cost us the game."

I agree.
Still I hate to see officials who consistently make bad calls and/or are inconsistent in the calls they do make. In general I just want consistency. Michael Price is not my fav, but he is pretty consistent. Mostly I like refs that I don't notice.

agree. I dreaded seeing the reffing crew in Seattle...but then hardly noticed them during the game.
