Joey has done 4 Spurs games this year -- @ ATL, @ GST (in December), v. NYK, v. SEA.
Not exactly a murderer's row of teams (Atlanta's recent successes notwithstanding), but the Spurs were 3-1 in those games, losing the December game in Oakland (without Duncan).
Thanks, FWD. Reliable for knowledge, as expected.
Joey will probably be OK just to keep his job
I'd rather have Bavetta, Violet Palmer or Nies than Derick Stafford
And Greg Willard? Could we have Willard Scott instead? Please
We are screwed.
JC won't do anything obvious, like throwing a player out for laughing.
But there are discretionry calls or non-calls which would never be reviewed by the front office that we have to watch out for. Crawford is many things But he is not stupid. He won't do anything obvious. But lets see how many times he looks the other way he Tim, Tony or Manu get mugged going to the rim without calling anything...
Not good. But the Spurs also overcame Bavetta and Salvatore in games 1 and 2, this would complete the trifecta...
very true.
I expect the game to be called okay. But we wont get any favors thrown our way even though we are at home.
I don't think it matters tonight. I look for the game to be pretty close in the first half, and the Suns to lose their energy in the 3rd quarter with no home crowd to bolster their confidence. Spurs D shuts it down and we win comfortably.
I'm watching the game with a Suns fan tonight. Should be highly entertaining.
Have fun with that, hopefully you can give your game thoughts too.
Im not sure I'll be watching it.
He is so arrogant and ed in the head i don't think he cares honestly. This has me a little worried, Crawford is a lunatic.
SPURS will still WIN,reguardless of the referees
Because the ing fans can't behave like adults. Didn't you see all the water bottles being thrown last year?
That you aren't more ashamed of those idiots is damning.
Yeah, I don't think the refs will make a difference tonight. If the Spurs want to close this one out they will close it out. Bank on it.
Yup...look for the Spurs to come out gunning right from the start and build an early double-digit lead, like they did in Game 3. That will basically take the refs out of the equation. Spurs by 11. Book it.
And tell me which game we've gotten favors in this series? None. Spurs will be fine so long as they go back to their games1-3 mentality of not expecting favors to be called for them, and just play well.
Whatever you do, Timmy...Don't laugh!
Crawford? LMAO
he knows all eyes are on him, I expect the Spurs to be on the FT line more
Maybe this will help keep the Spurs from getting into the ruts where they are too concerned about calls they're not getting.
They probably let him coach this game as a test. He'll be carefully watched and Crawford knows that. I expect fair calls both ways...at least from Crawford.
Crawford is coaching tonight? What happened to Pop? Oh, , we're screwed!!!

I don't know why everyone worries about Joey.
We are 10-3 in the playoffs since '01 with him on the floor including 7 wins in a row between '03 and '05.
The three guys I worry about are Nies, Salvatore and Rush. These three refs should don the reputation as Spurs Killers. Since '01 in the playoffs, whenever one of these three referees are on the floor, we are 22-31 (7-8 with Nies, 8-11 with Salvatore, and 7-12 with Rush).
Another guy creeping on to this list is David Jones. We are 1-4 when he refs.
whoops..................................lol
Stern just said that Duncan can shove Crawford around if he wants to.
