Joey Crawford...great ref or greatest ref?

[InK]

Been a while seen i a game so totally butchered. Why has this dude not been fired 200x times before?

[hater]

Win win situation IMO

I don't see Joey calling a game in the Finals after this game 4 fiasco.

plus Heat have to play at least 6 games in ECF

thanks Joey

Joey's been on the spur bandwagon for a while now. NBA needs to keep him :tu

[Rummpd]

Senile and never was ever good except in his own mind - his time to retire was a decade ago.

Hell yeah I was about to say the same thing.

The bald **** has been awesome to the Spurs lately. Duncan must've of given him free dibs on Amy.

[BlackSwordsMan]

Every since he threw out Duncan he's been spurs' number 1 supporter. Can't wait to have him as Spurs' 16th man. (or whatever the number of players is but add one to it cause it'll be +that number)

As ridiculous as he is, I will miss Joeys enthusiasm when he decides to hang the whistle up tbh. :depressed

good call IMO

Heat fans are such pussies

[KaiRMD1]

These playoffs have been about Joey tbh. Afterall, he ejected Chris Paul & Z-bo in the same game.

the one with the missile is the best one

We shouldn't even know the refs names. There's no such as a great ref. They should be pretty much invisible.

[ColinB]

LakerLanny's Circle of Seven still doing work.

The fact that Lebron played 200 something minutes without a single foul called against him, and he fouls out tonight, tells you that he's treated with kid gloves in the regular season. There's no way in hell you play 200+ minutes and lead your team in rebounding, assists, points and are the best defender WITHOUT fouling for that long. It's simply impossible.

that's great. I don't give a shit about last year. now get your ass back upstairs with all the :cry real spurs fans :cry

You LeBron haters make me laugh. It is an equally valid argument to say how does a guy not foul very much the whole regular season and all the sudden in this game every touch is a foul.

The refs completely ruined this game, it was so entertaining, and then you take away one teams best player and closer on a touch call that didn't even matter with a minute left. Take the other team's best player out for stretches with foul trouble. It's refs that think the game is all about them that drive me nuts. There were so many terrible calls both ways, I just wanted to shove the stupid whistle down the refs throats.

[AaronY]

Reffing is such a shit job between the players always acting like every single call is wrong and the fans..can imagine how some of you would react with someone in your cubicle vehemontly anslyzing and verbally rating your every mouse click..

[AaronY]

Trying to think of a worse job..I'd probably rather spin those advertising signs on the side of the road than ref, rather be a fry cook at BK too..

[Mal]

James fouled, good call.

[ffadicted]

BS call IMHO, and I hate the heatles more than anyone in this board llol
If that had happened to tony/Tim/dirk/George,/Paul/insert any important player here*, everyone would go batshit crazy lol IMO you just don't call that bullshit tick tack touch foul last minute of a huge ECF gsme

[Captivus]

The NBA should have 4 refs on the court, 2 on each side, and only the refs from the side can make calls.
So every team gets a combo of 2 refs (maybe even 3) in each half. It would be harder to rig games that way.

[DAF86]

He's one of the worst refs ever in any sport 'cause he does everything in his power to be noticed when every good ref should do the opposite.

DMC with goods.

Didn't see that game.
Can someone explain, what he is trying to tell us here?

[Clipper Nation]

Agreed, but sadly, it seems every league has a few garbage refs who are intent on making everyone know their names.... Joey Crawford, Dick Bavetta, Ed Hochuli, Walt Coleman, Angel Hernandez, CB Bucknor, Joe West, Kelly Sutherland and Dan O'Halloran come to mind....

The nba is by far the worst tho when it comes to promoting their refs and giving them an identity. Barkley getting in a race with bavetta at the as game is something you'd never see happen in the nfl. Hochuli fuckin lost sleep over blowing that chargers broncos game in 08 and actually sent emails out to chargers fans apologizing for it. Joey Crawford meanwhile looks for ways to takeover at the end of games, and you can tell by how demonstrative he is when he makes a pivotal call.

My point is that refereeing in the NBA is a joke. It's not that this or that person is being coddled. I'm the last person you should be calling a Lebron hater.
