Not as bad as it could have been. The league had to do something.

Too bad we do not know what was Joey Crawford's "fine"!
I am happy no suspension was granted to TD!
See thread-Crawford suspended rest of the season, playoffs and finals.
Not bad. I thought it would be $25K-50K.
You know your stuff!
He had to be fined something because he went to the media and claimed a vendetta instead of going through the league office. It was expected
Ticket to Dallas: $200 dollars
Popcorn and soda during unexpected 4th quarter break: $7
Saying "too" much in postgame interview: $25, 000
No Joey Crawford for the entire play offs: Priceless
Or something like that.![]()
More like...
Ticket to Dallas: Free
Popcorn and soda during unexpected 4th quarter break: free
Saying "too" much in postgame interview: free (tax writeoff)
No Joey Crawford for the entire play offs: Priceless
Good one!![]()
That was more than I thought he'd have to pay. I was anticipating around $10k.
Collaborative humor- love it.

When Phil Jackson talked about the refs having a vendetta against Kobe, he got fined $50,000. So factor that in with the Joey decision, and it seems the league thinks calling out officials in the media is a no-no, but based on how warranted it is the fine will change.
No big deal.
Tim got to diss Crawford and rag on his ass to the media for a minimal charge of 25 G's. That's pocket change for Duncan.
Everything Duncan said was true. JC did have a personal grudge against him, Duncan was proved correct. However the league i guess figured they needed to assess him sort of a token fine for his comments anyway.
Which makes perfect sense.
Duncan probably got the fine for calling him a POS? That is (technically) against the rules and is worthy of a fine.
It's not a matter of what Duncan said being true or not. The players, coaches, etc are not permitted to talk about the officiating to the media. It was automatic that Duncan would get fined.
Damn, did I call this or what?
I said yesterday that if Duncan's fine was $25K or less that the NBA would basically be admitting that Duncan was correct.

Now if only we can can that other nutcase Bavetta.
this is kind of contradictory. Because if Duncan had not said this to the media, there would not have been as much of an outrage. and I do beleive it is the public outrage that made Stern make that decision.
kinda weird. kinda like when you rat on your boss, but then get fired for being a rat.
Have Tim get another $50,000 ready and we can get rid of Bavetta and Salvatore.
good one
Bets 25 g's I bet Timmy has ever spent
