OH..........MY...GOD, Javie to ref game tonight

[Spurs Dynasty 21]

Gm7 here we come




only way Spurs win this is if the Spurs win BIG, so he couldn't screw the Spurs again

[FromWayDowntown]

Where did you get that information? I'm absolutely certain that the league's rules for assigning officials to games would preclude Javie from working consecutive games in San Antonio.

[Sec24Row7]

I doubt it is going to be salvatore since he reffed last night

[Spurs Dynasty 21]

heard this on another sport board

[Sec24Row7]

Don't believe everything you read.

[timvp]

It's not going to be Javie.

Usually I'm not a big fan of Bavetta, but he probably hates Joey Crawford more than anyone, so perhaps he'll be nice to Duncan.

:smokin

Just wondering, why would Bavetta hate Crawford?

[Sec24Row7]

Yeah TimVP i was thinking the same thing...

Only person who unquestionably would have nothing against Duncan for the Crawford incident would be Bavetta...

Edit^^

Because he called him out in his Exit email and called him a sorry ass ref.

[FromWayDowntown]

I could see that some aficianado might have seen, say, Bavetta in downtown San Antonio and said "There's that g.d. Javie again." It's funny how some fans who want to curse officials seem to think that Javie is at every game they've ever seen. The guy who used to sit next to me at AT&T Center had a habit of shouting "Come on Javie" after every single call that he thought was wrong. I finally broke down one night to tell him that the official who had made the call was actually Dick Bavetta. He seemed surprised.

I'm not sure that Bavetta hates Crawford, but it was pretty clear in the aftermath of the mess with Timmy that Crawford doesn't hold Bavetta in very high regard.

[Sec24Row7]

FWD what is the name of the other Ref besides Salvatore and Nies that reffed last nights game?

[FromWayDowntown]

Last night in Chicago, it was Salvatore, Nies, and Sean Corbin.

[Booyah30]

You guys have too much time on your hand s to be worrying about the officials!
LOL

[GrandeDavid]

I'd like to throw a heater high and inside on Steve Javie.

[timvp]

Just wondering, why would Bavetta hate Crawford?

Joe Crawford wanted the ref union to make an age limit (59 years old). Bavetta, as you may have guessed, was against it. That's where the animosity started.

And then when Crawford was saying his supposed goodbyes, he called Bavetta a joke of an official.

So if any ref would be happy with Duncan, it'd be Bavetta.

[tlongII]

It will be Javie.

[tlongII]

And you guys will get hosed.

[Sec24Row7]

Thanks man.

[K-State Spur]

I'm not a big fan of Bavetta at all, but I don't think we'll have to worry about him helping give the road team a better than 2:1 free throw advantage either.

[Budkin]

Not Javie... like others already said he reffed game 4.

[one lucky]

Heard on Dan Patrick that it is Bavetta! :oops

[Amare_32]

Bavetta looms!

[nkdlunch]

yeah we need to have a 14+ pt lead with 3 minutes to go or we are gonna get fucked.

Ohhh. I see now.

[G-Nob]

If Spurs take care of business, it won't matter.

[conversekid]

tlong ... i've known you since 2000... same posts every time: Spurs will lose.

[50 cent]

I am almost positive Dick the Knick will be in there tonight.

[ploto]

Bavetta has not reffed a game this whole series. He is due.

Do you really believe the refs have more power than the Spurs? Dude, all you got do is SCORE MORE POINTS THAN THE OTHER TEAM. Play the game before you start bitching. You girls need to quit complaining about cramps until you get your period.

:lol Suns fan calling us girls...


To OP: :lol Spurs fans bitching about refs!

[suns in 7]

You guys bitch about officiating BEFORE the game????...at least some Suns fans wait until something has happened.

By the way, I have no problem with the officiating whatsoever. Or the suspensions. ZERO. So with a 3-2 lead you all do look like a bunch of pussies.
Texas is more faggoty than I thought.

Steers, Beers and Queers. :lol

Yee-haw mother fucker.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

I prefer a ref with experience on this one. Bavetta can do the job unless you want the other ones. I don't believe the ref will suck tonight.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

I didnt mind Javie last game he reffed... it was the older guy in his crew that kept making the bad calls

[Budkin]

Bavetta reffed Game 7 of the 2005 Finals. We didn't get screwed there... plus he hateed Joey Crawford from what I heard.

[suns in 7]

Steers, Beers and Queers. :lol

Yee-haw mother fucker.

Good for you! Loud and Proud! :toast

It'll be tough saying goodbye to the Suns Trolls tonight... :cry

[BeerIsGood!]

Knick Bavetta is in the house tonight. Hopefully Timmy gets the calls on the hack jobs that have been thrown on him all series, if so this is gonna be a good night.

Does anyone else notice that Marion travels every time he puts the ball on the court? I know many other players do it as well, but Marion is every damn time. I thought it was funny and that the refs pretty much don't call the travel where you take the step before putting the ball on the floor - until they called it on Bowen in game 5.

This board is way too fun to leave...isn't there a month of basketball left?

[Dave McNulla]

Duncan scares the hell out of me when he's coming into the forecourt and someone will pass him the ball when he's top of the key. He seems to catch it and take two quick steps everytime and I'm cringing that he won't move his pivot foot or he'll get whistled for it.

I know that play you're talking about well. He'll get whistled for it every so often and TP/ Manu get whistled for it every couple of games or so. The Bowen one surprised be because I can't remember the last time he got called on it. I'm still waiting on Marion's first whistle on that 5 games into the series, maybe tonight in the 4th is the night.
