^^ 2 out of those 3 spell trouble for us
We'll likely know who the Game 6 chief will be shortly. Whomever among Joey Crawford, Joe Derosa, and Ed Rush isn't working tonight is our guy.

DeRosa and Salvatore
That leaving us to Joe or rush
disaster
Joey Crawford
or
Ed F. Rush
Phoenix most probable will get mauer or dan crawford
Rush was at the bux game lately
Joey was at Phoenix
both on 26th
The key was Joey at the bux game, he is not officiating there
I'd rather have Crawford
To make it clear - Suns had Joey and Rush already so I think there is no key leading to a ref that will be in San Antonio
If Joey Crawford is reffing Game 6...the NBA is rigged.
methinks we are going to see a joey crawford sighting.
To with Joey Crawford, play the game, limit the turnovers and we should be fine. Officials will not decide the game... We decide our own fate.
agreed. spurs just need to make the refs a non-factor.
Officials ALWAYS decide the game.
Even when you think you have decided it, it's only because they let YOU decide the game.
They have the final word.
Crawford has reffed a lot of key playoffs game across the league.
Wouldn't it be great to have a Game 7 in this series, NBA-wise?
I'm convinced that it's Joey. I was going to post this earlier, but was in the middle of something.
Assuming that the NBA makes its officiating schedule out at least a few games in advance (I'm of the opinion that the schedule is set before a round begins -- and perhaps even before the playoffs begin), then Derosa and Rush would have worked tonight. Obviously, Derosa is working, but Rush was the only available official to work what would have been Game 5 of the Charlotte/Orlando series.
Assuming that to be true, that leaves only Joey Crawford or Joe Derosa to work Game 6 of Spurs/Mavericks, but since Derosa is working tonight, in Atlanta, that should leave only Joey to work Spurs/Mavs on Thursday.
Well, sure. I know Stern would have liked to see this thing go 7. IMO, the only real shot we have at beating a healthy Spurs team in San Antonio is by rigged reffing. But honestly, I'll take a rigged Game 6, if it means the Mavs win
As for the other 2 officials for Game 6, I think they come from this pool:
Tony Brothers
Sean Corbin
Bill Spooner
Derrick Stafford
Tom Washington
Leon Wood
I disagree. Refs don't cause players to miss shots, miss free throws or throw the ball away. I think they can have an effect on the game but I also know that players can play through it.
rush has been letting them play this playoffs. his crew averages the least amount of fouls called per game.
i would rather have rush. he seems to be favoring home teams significantly this postseason so far.
joey working will be a bad bad thing. especially when the crowd starts talking to him constantly and chanting "joey sucks" because it will happen.
Here is the key then if it's true
Good
Now I would take brothers and corbin
It would be a nice squad
crawford
cobin
brothers
Again, that assumes that the league won't alter the schedule once some of the other series are decided.
Had Charlotte and Orlando gone out to Game 5 (which would have been tonight), only Foster, Mauer, McCutchen, and Rush could have been the lead official for that game. Foster, Mauer, and McCutchen all worked last night.
That leaves only Rush to have worked CHA/ORL Game 5.
And if the schedule is what I think it is, then SA/DAL Game 6 could only have drawn Joey Crawford, Derosa, or Rush as the lead official; but Derosa and Rush either are or would have been working tonight. That leaves only Joey.
It will be interesting to see if the apparent schedule of the officials will be altered now that some of the first rounders have ended. I think the assignments tomorrow will say something about that.
At least J Cro would handle the wresting proper. Najera was getting away with some bs last game.
Yup I knew all that except the orl/cha series which I did not reviewed
You had it - thanks
So we are getting Joey C. and I'm more fine with that then with Rush.
Get ready for Joey to run in, smack Manu's nose, call a flagrant 2 on Manu for fouling himself, then hit Timmy, Tony and Pop with technicals as they protest. And an extra technical on Hill too, due to penis envy.
I don't think that Joey Crawford is a bad ref. I do think that his presence gives TD and the Spurs something else to worry about other than the already difficult task of beating the Mavs. In other words, this sucks.
