Bennett Salvatore and Joey Crawford

[urunobili]

Salvatore has a fetish to let people knock Manu to the floor hard on almost flagrant fouls and not even call them... (see Josh Howard's foul on Manu's highlight reel dunk on Diop)

Joey is da man

[Warlord23]

Salvatore is the worst-case scenario. I'd take Joey Crawford, despite his Duncan hate, any day of the week.

The Hornets don't need to win in San Antonio to win this series..enough said!

are you still up? isn't it past your bed time?

[ShoogarBear]

Bennett Salvatore on the road would be bad news. Joey Crawford is actually a decent road team ref.

Having said that, the Spurs have had some memorable home games with Bennett (Game One of the 2003 WCF), and Joey gave the Great Laugh Toss in Dallas.

Actually, it's just a good thing they aren't playing the Mavs.

Did you all know that when the Spurs won Game 7 of the 2005 Finals, the refs were Bavetta, Joey Crawford, and Eddie Rush???

Dude, since '01, our record in the playoffs with on the floor is 15-6 and 11-4 with Joey(assuming my subtotaling is correct).

Rush is the only ref I cannot stand. The Fisher shot in '04 was a killer but having Rush do game six on top of that, well that was insult to injury.

As predicted, the refs for Game 6 are:

B. Salvatore
K. Mauer
M. McCutchen

I thought our record was much worse with Bavetta...thanks for looking that up. Joey is more of a problem since the Duncan incident...remember, it's all about ego...Joey got suspended and that made him "lose face", so he harbors a grudge against the Spurs now...if anyone doubts that, just refer to Game 5 against the Hornets...

Rush is a putz...somebody should crack him in the head with an aluminum baseball bat...twice...

ing Salvatore...somebody please smack him...hard...

[Man In Black]

I'd look for parade to the FT line just like he gifted Dirk.
But despite that crap, the Spurs can win the game and the series.
GO SPURS GO!

People at the game, better let the drinks fly if they this game up for us.

Bennett Salvatore is an abortion and a fixture on the Circle of 7 Fixer list.

Kenny "Slick" Mauer is also a proud member of the Circle of 7 Fixer list.

Monty McCutchen is a bad official also

For those who don't know the Circle of 7 Fixer list, let me provide it again:

Joey Crawford, Bennett The Rat Salvatore, Bob Delaney, Steve Jobbie, Jack Nies, Ken Mauer, Bernie Fryer

These are the refs the NBA uses to manipulate/fix playoff games.

[TampaDude]

Well, there is one sure way the Spurs can take the refs out of the equation...get a big lead early and hold it. Refs can only influence close games.
