Pop should create a referee committee in the off season.
What are you? 12 years old? WTF?
Pop should create a referee committee in the off season.
Oh Princess Pimp...ever time I consider blocking you comments, you come up with one like this that makes it all worthwhile.
Not to mention this gem
Crawford needs to go already, he was taunting Pop last night, fire that clown once and for all.
Pop should let trivial like this go, even if he's right.
For no other reason other than to incite the refs and make calls go against us.
The problem with Joey Crawford is once again he became a bigger part of the game than he should have been. If an official is doing a good job, he is barely noticed...that almost never happens with J. Crawford. He interjected himself last night early and often. His ego is way out of control- hence that unnecessary exchange with Pop. At the very least, the incident with Tim Duncan last year has obviously taught him nothing. He needs to be gone.
+1 Exactly...the refs didn't make West go 16-25 for 38 points, 14 rebounds, and 5 blocks...the Spurs got BEAT, plain and simple...
I 100% agree with you. Why the was he even allowed to come back in the first place?? When the whole incident went down with Duncan last year nobody really knew what to believe. Duncan was saying "Crawford had it in for him and actually challenged him to fight". Well the league reviewed it and Duncan was proven right. They suspended Crawford for the rest of the season, so clearly he threatened Duncan and the league acknowldged he was out of line. There have been some other incidents in his past as well where the league had to deal with him. Last night instead of walking away from Pop and defusing the whole thing he gets in his face and looks for another altercation. He can't let a disagreement go Crawford. All this crap about he went to anger management and what not i mean give me a break. Pop and him disagreed so his solution was to march over there and jam his finger in Pop's face. When Pop told him to not do that he put it right back in his face and got more aggressive with his nonsense. Fire this asshole for good already Stern. He does not deserve to be a ref anymore.
That pretty much sums it up. I hate the shiny headed one but he didn't decide the game. Spurs were not very aggressive....again.
Wow Louis.. your suckage has now reached epic proportions
Hilarious. I thought the exact same thing when they came back from the quarter break and there was no interview.
Reporter: "Pop, what was most upsetting about tonight's loss? Was it the overall lack of enthusiasm your team displayed out there tonight?"
Pop: "What?! Are you serious?!! I won't even dignify that with a response. If you can't see that that double delay of game penalty cost us the game tonight you don't deserve your press pass. GTFO!!"
The reffing didn't affect the games outcome.
That DOESN'T justify anything that Crawford did. He was wrong on the call, he gave POP a tech...and he poked Pop in the chest numerous times.
I don't give a if we lose the game (did I just say that?)...What Crawford did would have gotten any player in the league ejected.
Crawford should never have been allowed to come back. And if he isn't dismissed now, the league's ref problems become even more acute and front page.
He should be more concerned with the Spurs terrible third quarters against the Hornets, which I might add has happened FIVE ING TIMES this season. That's a coaching problem. Fix that first before you about a silly call by the officials.
Props to Pop for not being a pussy about this.
Anybody could just say it and go home..
Crawfish is his new nickname. He has an agenda against the Spurs and the league is ing nazi to begin with letting him ref a Spurs playoff game.
At least we won't get Crawford in game 7.
ing about the delay of game was dumb. And then Pop compounded it by pushing Joey to the point he got T'ed up, and alienated the refs for the rest of the game.
Everyone was expecting the Hornets to have the meltdown with the refs and the game and instead we get Pop of all people acting like a rook.
Pop
What was he thinking yelling at Crawford, on the road, with 3 quarters left ?
Phil Jackson can do it; not Pop
It probably wasn't just about the delay of game; Joey Crawford was well into his arrogant/ stick/ head in charge mode...and Pop wasn't going to take it and stood up for his team. Pandering to the Almighty Crawford wouldn't have changed anything- the second Stern -slapped him for the Duncan incident it was over. It's personal... Joey Crawford.
I've been watching some clips of this incident with a recording of the TNT broadcast, and I see several times Pop with an angry face yelling at Crawford "you're wrong, you're wrong" long after the fouls were called. Whether or not he was wrong, both teams got the foul; it was even; he should have just chilled. I don't know the criteria for calling a technical on a coach, but I think Pop was being overly aggressive in his at ude towards Crawford. Given Crawford's past it could have been possible that Crawford was being aggressive back, but it doesn't really appear so in the footage that I've watched so far.
Crawford should not have stuck his finger in Pops chest. I thought it funny as but I have a feeling Crawford is going to get a little talk to about that.
Spews,in my opinion, have little respect from the refs. For years after a foul the Spews would cry what seemed to be every call. The simple answer for Spew fans is "everyone does that" I say no. it happens but not nealy as often as the Spews do it. They surround the refs. The faces the Spews make with the arms wide open looking like spoiled brats pounting is very annoying especially at the rate they do it.
Post number 39 by Ed Helicopter Jones has a blurb about the double delay of game and Pops answer is "If you can't see that double delay of game penalty cost us the game tonight you don't deserve your press pass. GTFO!!"
I hope that is not true. That will just add to the cry baby ways the entire Spew organization has.
really?........that your excuse a loss by 22 and you blame it on the one free throw we got in the beginning of the 2nd quarter......cute.....
I think its stupid to argue about this kinda call but I also think that Pop probably continued to argue cause he was lost his cool once Crawford poked him.
You know, the Spurs got their teeth kicked in. No one denies that.Crawford was fine last night he reffed an even game.
But in your lust to call them out for playing soft, you're just making crap up.
