We're gonna get this to ref at some point in the Finals...hope it's at San Antonio, though. That would lessen the blow and reign him in somewhat.
It won't lessen anything. Joey could care less where he's reffing, he's gonna bone over whoever Stern tells him to.
Win win situation IMO
I don't see Joey calling a game in the Finals after this game 4 fiasco.
plus Heat have to play at least 6 games in ECF
thanks Joey
You know he was reffing. Something he makes sure everyone knows every game.
Yeah, I think this whole crew is done for the year now.Win win situation IMO

Watching heat fans meltdown is funny.
Expect Joey for Games 1, 4, and 7 (if it gets that far).
I'd prefer Joey's squad over any squad that has Zach Zarba in it tbh.
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised.Expect Joey for Games 1, 4, and 7 (if it gets that far).
Monty McCutchen and Tony Brothers are worse.
You really think the NBA is going to acknowledge that their refs are incompetent?
This, tbh.
I didn't watch the game...but the consensus appears to be that it was a poorly officiated game in the Pacers favor?
It was a poorly officiated game, period.
It felt like a screw job but they overplayed their hand so they had to abort mission.
Kind of like the Operation Market Garden of officiating?
Imo, crucial, game-deciding mistakes were made in the final 2 minutes toward and against both teams. Lebron and Wade will stand out because they are the big names, but those replays of calls like the out of bounds "against" the Pacers won't go unnoticed.
Either way, fact stands: for Stern, this is like the anti-Robinson way of going into retirement for him.
I would have wanted nothing less.
that's one way of looking at it. they botched a 24 second call that was so bad, then they seemed to try making it up.
the game was a total blur for me, just ridiculous homecooking followed by the usual superstar treatment. the ugliest game in the playoffs so far imo.
FTFY
I'm pulling for Indy bc of Hill, and because of Hoosier State. Regardless, "superstars" get away with this so much imo it's ridiculous. Either you call it consistently, or you don't call it at all. Either you own the "superstar treatment," or you don't. Either way the refs go they'll get flak, but middling the ground just looks bad. Especially when it's game-deciding. Just pick a side, and own it. And be firm (not stern) about it.
lol, didn't Crawford foul out LeBron?
For those who didn't see it:
Pacers put up a shot that bounced off the rim - not glanced, but bounced.
The shot clock didn't re-set.
Pacers got the rebound, and eventually made a put-back a couple of seconds later.
Before the put-back, the 24 second clock went off.
Crawford signaled the turnover, due to shot clock violation. Eventually consulted with both of the other refs, and let the call stand.
How in the do three NBA referees miss a ball bouncing off the rim? One I could understand, but all three? It was so obvious that there couldn't have been another person in the arena, or at home, who didn't see the ball hit the rim - but somehow all three of the zebras went blind at the exact same instant? The bas s are either cooking the game, or they are grossly incompetent. Sorry, but on that screw-up there aren't any other explanations. There were plenty of other bad calls to go around, but that one I just can't get past.

Joey is everywhere this playoff season.
So it's obvious Stern took a page out of Pop's book -- resting Joey during the regular season so he'd be ready when it counts.
Now both Joey and the Spurs are rested and ready.
Let's get it on.
YES this jackass has to make sure we know he is reffing! He is trying to be a star with his bull as usual!
