My NBA Finals Predictions: Scott Foster (CC) Marc Davis (CC) James Capers (CC) Zach Zarba (CC) David Guthrie John Goble Kane Fitzgerald Eric Lewis Josh Tiven Tony Brothers Pat Fraher Sean Wright Courtney Kirkland (ALT) Kevin Scott (ALT)
My only change from last year to this year is Sean Wright working his first Finals replacing Tony Brown. Wright seems like a virtual lock to work his first Finals as he worked both conferences Game 6's.

official.nba.com/nba-announces-officials-for-the-nba-finals-2021/14 Finals officials: Wright (1st), Fitzgerald, Davis, Zarba, Guthrie, Capers, Brothers, Fraher, Goble, Lewis, Foster, Tiven, Williams (1st), Kirkland (1st). Washington and Blair are alternates. Which leads to the possibility that if there is a 4-game sweep in the Finals, two officials won't actually get into a game??

If there was a Game 7 I would guess the crew would have been Capers (CC), Zarba, Guthrie, Lewis (ALT).
They still ended up using 12 Officials on the court for the Finals while Goble and Fitzgerald were Replay only. That is pretty surprising as both were CC's in the Second Round this year and Goble was a Conference Finals CC last season. Just goes to show that what happened last season has no bearing on this season, and that is how it should be. I continue to be impressed with how Monty McCutchen has handled his postseason assignments.

I continue to be impressed with how Monty McCutchen has handled his postseason assignments. James Capers missed so many calls (including the no call on Devin Booker) in his only assignment (this year) in Game 4 that I can see them assigning Marc Davis to Game 7 instead of him. It has happened before where the Game 5 CC gets a Game 7 (Joey Crawford in 2010, Monty McCutchen in 2013 and 2016).
