Oh noes, is that the spurs hater crawford?
No, that's Joey. Dan hates the Mavs.
Salvatore is the worst ref in professional sports.
He makes Russian Olympic judges appear objective.
Could be a long night.
Hopefully Danny Crawford balances him out.
Well, he will not be intimidated by home crowd at least.
Got some of my predictive mojo back.

Fixed.
Salvatore doesn't seem to be influenced by home crowds, so if he screws the Spurs it will be due to incompetence and not home-court advantage.
The best thing for the Spurs to do will be to play well enough for the refs not to be a factor.
A gift for the spurs
Again the game will be officiated close to the previous game.
They are saving Joey in case Spurs play OKC or the Lakers.
Stern will do it someday
Salvatore doesn't give a who is at home, but he is a terrible official so he could us either way. Like seeing Crawford up there though.
Better than expected. Joey is waiting for Game 7 ( hopefully there will be Game 7 anyway ).
Yeah I could give a who's reffing in a game seven, so long as the Spurs get us one.
Joey will be stalking, with his ref shirts and panty hose stacked neatly on a Memphis motel bed, just in case.
I actually think it's fairly likely now that Javie will have Game 7 of this series, should it come to pass.
But I'm almost 100% certain it's either Javie or Joey if the Spurs can get there.
I'd rather not see Dan Crawford in this game, but what will be, will be.
I guess, one out two isn't too bad.
WE ARE ....
Bennett Salvatore on the road is a bad thing. He might be the ref most easily intimidated by the home crowd. And with this series as physical as it is, he's sure to turn this into a free throw shooting contest. Hopefully Dan Crawford can help to cancel him out. He's pretty much the polar opposite in terms of crowd influence and free throws.
My one major concern with Dan Crawford is that the Spurs have really struggled in games that he's officiated this year. They're 2-4 this season in the 6 games he called:
10/30/10 v. NO (L 90-99)
11/26/10 v. DAL (L 94-103)
12/26/10 v. WAS (W 94-80)
2/11/11 @ PHI (L 71-77)
3/4/11 v. MIA (W 125-95)
3/31/11 v. BOS (L 97-107)
The Spurs lost 5 games at home all season and 3 of those 5 were games that Dan Crawford called.
double post
on the $
I don't think so, the last two games he officiated, the home team lost and there were only 24 FTs by both teams home team won by 3 in other game and only 16(home team) and 27 FTs in other game.
He does not give a crap what home crowd does.

Haven't developed the FT numbers yet, but since 2008, Salvatore has called 44 playoff games; home teams are 29-15 in those games.
