    I don't mind Joey... he's a good ref when he keeps his personal emotions in check...

    Getting Salvator out of the way early was nice.

    Mavs complain a lot about Danny Crawford... but I think pretty much the sole reason that they don't do well with his ref crew is because he doesn't fall for all the dirk flail shenanigans on the jumpshots and dirk won't adjust and go to the basket...

    Joey hasn't been that biased against the Spurs (Tim) since Stern slapped him with that suspension, but it IS the playoffs and he IS an ego maniac.
    Didn't he cost them a playoff game with a non-call? Only takes one if the Spurs can't put the game away on their own.

    What's the story between JCrawford and Duncan? I remember the "You want to fight" incident--which was one of the more bizarre incidents in the NBA, but I never understood why JCrawford seemingly doesn't like Duncan so much. Can someone explain?

    The playoffs against the Lakers in 2008, I believe the Spurs would have evened up the series 2-2; down by 2 in the final seconds, Derek Fischer lands on Brent Barry... no call. The NBA later said a foul should have been called. The ref who was standing 10 feet away and should have called the foul? Joey Crawford.

    Crawford should never be allowed to ref a Spurs game ever again after all the crap that he's been involved in with us, if for no other reason than to avoid the appearance of impropriety.

    I think I read a recap that Joey Crawford was at a game today so that reduces the likelyhood...

    Put Bennett, and Joey all on one crew for all I ing care.


    Spurs arent going to lose due to the refs anyway if they do lose. Just like they wont win due to the refs in spite of what Mav fans might want to spew. Then again Maverick fans arent known for their basketball a en.

    I'm almost 100% certain that Scott Foster is going to be the crew chief for Game 4.

    I've said it before, but here's how I get there. There are 8 crew chiefs in this round. The Spurs and Mavs have seen 3 of them -- Bennett Salvatore, Ken Mauer, and Dan Crawford.

    There are 4 other chiefs working the Saturday games -- Joey Crawford, Joe Derosa, Monty McCutchen, and Ed Rush.

    I presume to things: (1) the league won't repeat a crew chief in a series within the first 4 games (it hasn't done that for as long as I've paid attention); and (2) the league won't have its officials working back-to-backs in playoffs (it almost never does that).

    If both of those things are true, it leaves only one possible chief for Game 4 -- Foster.

    It also means that for Game 5 and Games 6 and 7, if they become necessary, the the odds are strong that Joey will be the crew chief; at the very least, assuming the Foster guess is correct, we know that Game 5's lead official will come from a pool consisting of today's chiefs.

    Yep... and you remember how all the Laker trolls kept insisting that it wasn't a foul, and that it wouldn't have made any difference? Then the league made one of its rare statements saying that it was a blown call. The difference between 3-1 and 2-2 is night and day.

    The thing that made that call so bad was that the two players were basically isolated on the court, and were the obvious center of attention. Crawford either willfully decided to abort the rules, or he showed criminally piss-poor judgment. Either way, it should have reduced his value as a playoff official. To about zero.

    I'm gonna try to compile my ref stats but from my last count, the names the Spurs needed to worry about were Eddie F. Rush, Bennett Salvatore, and Jack Nies. I think we are barely .500 when one of these three refs are on the floor.

    Our playoff winning pct. with the Crawfords, , and Javie is pretty damn good. I think it's close to .650 or so. I will try to compile numbers to backup my statement.

    Some interesting stats from the NBAStuffer.com site:

    1. Among all officials who've refereed at least 10 regular season games, Scott Foster has the highest number of called fouls per game at 43.8. In his 3 playoff games, this number has gone up to 50.3.
    Conclusion: Expect a lot of whistles in this game.

    2. During the regular season, Scott Foster officiated games saw the home team get whistled for 48.6 % of all fouls. In the playoffs, this number is now 51%.
    Conclusion: No home cooking, especially in the post season where the road team has got the better deal so far

    3. During the regular season, Scott Foster games saw an average point differential of +2.9 points for the home team. In 3 playoff games, this number is +3.3. As a comparison, Bavetta has a differential of +1.
    Conclusion: Nothing noteworthy, it doesn't look like he wants to keep the scores close.
