Jack Nies is the only ref I truly despise. He holds a grudge against Duncan that is Jake O'Donnell/Clyde Drexler class.

Now we just gotta pray Bennett isn't in SA.

to me all the refs suck. i like some a little but i still hate them all. i will never forgive those bas s for screwing us in game six in 2002.
The universe is in perfect harmony.![]()
But where is Violet Palmer?![]()
Robert Horry reffed that game?
He might as well have. He ed the Kings every other way possible.

Actually I believe the refs in that game were modeling themselves after Reggie Evans.
two more words:
bennett
salvatore
Hopefully we don't get Bennett's sorry ass in Game #6 or there will definitely be a game #7.
I'm sure Stern will have Bennett ref Game #1 against Dallas so we can see another Salvatore Special Free Throw shooting contest a la 2003.![]()
I do not think this Dallas team can hit 49 of 49 FTs though.
I was hoping that old er wouldn't be there last night.
The owners should force them to fire Bavetta... or have a player walkout..
Joey Crawford usually isn't that bad, but last night he sure as was as bad as Nies or Bennett.
Im hoping for a Jav reffed game in game 6.
Javy, IMO, is the best out there. Fair, explains the fouls very well, and is evenhanded.
HIm, and prob Danny Crawford.
Thank God. Bavetta is back in Miami tonight so no FT shooting contest tomorrow. The NBA is probably saving his old ass for Game #3 when the Mavs are in a must win situation.
Bavetta isn't in Miami tonight --Bennett Salvatore, Ken Mauer and Sean Corbin are.
oh god nooooO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pray that its Javie!!! TOMMOROW!!!
Javie did game 7 in Phoenix, so there's a decent chance he'll be in SA for Game 2.
does someone know why they(the fans) always wear white tee's to their home games, i mean i know white is usually the color for the home team
but is there some secial reason
someone asked me and i was like im not sure but i will ask
Man I Have A Feeling That Were Going To Get Either Bennett Or That Lady Ref, She Always Calls Against Spurs
Bavetta is the worst, if only because he does it to every team in every city. Bavetta has to be THE SHOW (watch him). Personally, I can't watch him or even a game he officiates unless it is an important playoff game. I hate to admit it, but that man has driven me to tears. To put it in perspective, the Pacers are a great FT shooting team historically. I have seen Bavetta hand the Pacers regular season games at the line back in the late '80s, early '90s. Bavetta still makes me want to gouge my eyeballs out and replace them with tail onions.
Then Crawford, then most of the others mentioned. Cripes, they do all suck.
Violent Palmer has zero chance of working a playoff game. Since roughly half the teams are eliminated once the playoffs start, not all refs are needed, and fewer still as the playoffs progress. Guess which group she falls in...
Danny Crawford is OK he did ok in game 1 spurs mavs
Javie is the best in the business right now.
Actually, Violet did her first playoff game this season -- she called Game 2 of the Nets/Pacers series.
Javie is probably the best of the big names.
Having watched them again this season, I think Mike Callahan might actually be the best official in basketball. Nobody knows who he is, but he doesn't miss much and he seems to be unswayed by anything.
