Yesterday on the Rome show Barkley predicted the ultimate NBA champion would be the winner of the Lakers/Jazz series.
Jim Rome has Stern on. he complained about the music, noise and pyrotechnics. Rome asked why he had Crawford officiate the game. Sterns response " If I have an official that i can't put in a series, then I don't have that official."
He's still on, not much on it, Stern didn't really want to address any questions on officials.

He's right though, its not fair to other teams if they all aren't officiated by the same refs
Then why let him have his ing job back?
The guy should be fired after the incident in Game 5.
I think pro sports should have an official who just watches video feed non-stop. This official could double check officials calls, and make calls the officials missed. It would be easier in the NFL, but something similar could happen in the NBA.
It does suck how refs can seem to be swayed for or against teams.
If Spurs were to advance I think it would be fair to say Crawford will not be officiating any Spurs games in the WCF
I don't think you can say that at all.
He's done two games in the playoffs already. The pool of refs shrink as the playoffs go farther, I believe. And I'm guessing Crawford is in the top tier of officials, so it's a good bet SA would see him in the WCF or the Finals.
Thats right. Stern doesn't care anymore. I think he sees it as Joey has paid his price for what happened last year.
True, but he can leave him off the playoff crews all together. If its evident he holds grudges, why put him in.
Works for me. Get rid of that bas .
The league should be sued for putting Crawford in a position where he could determine the outcome of any game that Duncan plays in. That's exactly what would happen in any reputable business/organization.
You know the reffing has hit an all time low when even Pop es about it
Crawford reffed an OK game.
Don't see what the big hub bub is over.
Pop is the one that blew everything out of purportion.
Just for the record, I heard Jim Rome today on the radio laughing about the Spurs complaining about the refs. He said it was ridiculous. Take it for what it's worth.
Jim Rome is to sports as is Paris Hilton is to serious acting.
Maybe the new orleans guy that started this thread heard it too.
I left out is was on "Jim Rome is Burning" that show that comes on ESPN before around the Horn.
His tv show and radio show are different.
He actually says the exact same things on both, verbatim.
he sure does, its so he only has to pay his writers once
Weren't you ing the other night about Joey putting his finger in Pop's chest?
Only in your tiny mind.
The officiating in that game was atrocious. Period.
Big difference is jim rome is burning is only a half hour. He's on the radio for hours.
Joey clearly shouldn't have done that, but Pop coughed up a lung yelling about something really meaningless at the beginning of a pivotal road game.
Neither has anything to do with whether or not Joey called the game fairly.
Actually I know you ed, I just don't give a damn enough to go find your whining about it.
