Officials review a call through instant replay in the fourth quarter of the Clippers-Lakers game. Best caption/imaginary conversation winsone of their new Star Trek uniforms. Good luck, friends.

After the jump, Jrue Holiday fills up a gas tank.

Winner, jlpamc:
"I'm filling up this tank like I'm gonna fill up the box scores. The gas is swishing like my jumpers. My game is premium. Everyday will be a Sixer holiday. ... Man, I gotta quit sniffing these fumes."

Co-runner-up, Noam S:
Despite concerns that Jrue Holiday (notes) was better suited as a gas station cashier, Eddie Jordan's new Princeton offense enabled Jrue to efficiently fill up tanks without hurting the rest of the BP staff's production.

Co-runner-up, Daniel:
Those aren't the gas prices, those are Jrue's averages for this year.

Captains log, it's good to be back in command after having been replaced by those evil body double referee aliens. We can now continue our long standing tradition of ruining games and allowing star players to travel in the lane...

"oh this strange world we've traveled to, the men wearing scarlet seem to have an undue aggression towards the men adorned with golden fleece and magical rings!"

Ref #1: Thank God we got our jobs back. You think those replacements would've known not to foul out Bynum?
Ref #2: Yeah, remember Stern? "UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!" I'll tell you, that guy is pretty good at reputation control.

Ref 1: So what do you think of the new replay moniters?
Ref 2: The picture is great! I love HD!
Ref 3: Hey morons! That's not the replay moniter! That's just a TV with TNT on! They're actually playing!
Refs 1&2: Ohhhhh....so who's calling the game?
Kobe (from court): Nobody, it's call your own fouls...
Ref 3: D'oh!

After review, the call on the court is confirmed... Kobe indeed stayed inbounds, spilt 4 Clipper defenders, broke 2 ankle, flew into the lane and dunked on Kaman... all while staring at his 4th championship ring. Clippers will be charged a time-out. Please reset the clock to 4:20. (blows whistle)

As agreed upon by the NBA and Referees Union Rep, the referees will now call games via closed circuit tv on the sideline.

It's the 4th quarter in the Staples Center and your children are glued to their seats, but there is a phone on the scorer's table and it is ringing. Something is happening out there on the court. Your vote will decide who answers that call.
Whether it's someone who already knows how to call the new travel rule because they've been incorrectly allowing traveling for years, someone who already knows who all the important players are, and will refuse to call fouls on them, or someone who has only done a pretty decent job fairly officiating preseason games, the choice is up to you.
When it's your kids at the game, who do you want answering the phone?
