Then pop needs to smack Duncan in the mouth and say play the f'ing game...
I'd rather see Joey than Rush. Rush is the worst ref in the NBA

My hope is they'll go out there expecting to play 5 on 8 and play harder and smarter because of it, instead of assuming they'll be given an advantage because they are at home.
They need to go out and play well from the beginning; maybe this will serve as motivation to focus on playing rather than relying on calls. The only way to ever avoid unfair officiating is to play so that it becomes irrelevant. If they are going to play as if the game is biased and have a defeatist at ude because Joey Crawford shows up (as they know he will in the course of the playoffs), they may as well play the scrubs and rest up for game 7 in Dallas.

Stern's been saving this ace for a special occasion.
Stern will go with Danny Crawford in game 7 to screw the mavs.
Picking between Joey Crawford and Eddie Rush is like picking between a turd sandwich and a giant ... And it could get worse. Tony Brothers may join the party too.

when you think about all the close calls, non-calls, controversial calls over the course of a game, and how many points are put on or not put on the board because of them. even the same crew, if put in all those exact situations again, would call it differently, inevitably changing the score of the same game.
so you can imagine, with a different crew in a different game, even if all refs are trying to call it as fair as they can, the final score is going to be 80% - 85% players, 15% - 20% refs, and that's enough to effect the outcome of most games
My biggest beef is that if they don't allow us to play physical in our own homecourt, we're going to be screwed. Dallas wins the finesse game...
No matter who officiate game 6 it will be at home.
Do certain refs really psyche the players out? It shouldn't? And if you know it does, then keep your mind only on the task at hand.
no time for excuses, we got every chip all-in and waitin for the river

So Joey it is......
Well I hope he doesn't swallow his whistle like he did when Brent was fouled on that three in the playoffs a few years back. Just what we need is another apology from the league the day after a bad loss.
Jesus ing Christ, stop whining about the officials. If the Spurs come out focused and on a mission tomorrow, we'll have nothing to worry about.
All they can do is just go out and play. If they're really worried about Joey, they have no business winning a playoff series.
Besides, even with the history, I don't think there's that much to worry about with Joey. He and everyone else are under such scrutiny; this is the biggest stage. I expect him to make some bad calls, but the same should be expected from some of the other pieces of turds that could have been assigned to this game.
our lives
Hope are players don't lose focus when that happens to us.
It's unbelievable that Stern would even continue to set himself up for any perception of impropriety, but I guess he just doesn't give a .
