Why is that guy still refereeing in this league, and specifically our games?

I can't see San Antonio winning this if Duncan is as hobbled as he was against us. DWill will shut down Parker.
I may not even watch since Crawford is on hand. They might as well telephone Utah the win and save everyone the frustration with that sucker calling things.
Jazz: Sloan misses shootaround in San Antonio
By Ross Siler
The Salt Lake Tribune
San Antonio » As much as they will be looking Friday night to end their 22-game losing streak to the Spurs in San Antonio, the Jazz also will be trying to forget about Wednesday's 29-point loss to Dallas.
The Jazz will finish their three-game trip against the Spurs and need a victory to possibly avoid falling into eighth place in the Western Conference standings with three games to play, should Dallas beat New Orleans on Friday.
Jazz coach Jerry Sloan stayed back at the hotel sick from Friday's pregame shootaround. He complained of exhaustion Tuesday in Dallas and has spent nearly two weeks on the road, leaving the team last weekend for the funeral of his older brother in Illinois.
C.J. Miles will miss his third consecutive game with a dislocated left index finger, with Andrei Kirilenko starting in his place. Although Sloan has considered starting Paul Millsap, assistant coach Phil Johnson said Carlos Boozer would likely continue to start.
Johnson also offered his own explanation for how the Jazz could turn around 72 hours after beating New Orleans for their best road victory of the season and suffer such a collapse against the Mavericks.
"I attribute it a lot to being a young team that maybe loses their concentration a little bit," Johnson said. "I don't know. I don't have answers for it. It's a different team, too. Dallas played well against us. New Orleans didn't play particularly well against us."
The Spurs are coming off a loss Wednesday to Portland and are fighting with Houston and the Trail Blazers for a top-four seed. There have been renewed questions about the health of Tim Duncan, who has battled sore knees the second half of the season.
"I'm sure they're not in a great mood after getting beat the other night," Johnson said. "We'll see what we can do. We've got to come back and play better than we did the other night, that's all I know.
"Defensively, we weren't very good. We didn't meet the challenge the other night, so we'll see what we've got."
Good luck tonight against the .
We are sure pulling for you up here in Dallas.
Once again, nothing good to say. EVER. In the dictionary under the word negativity is a picture of tlong..
BIG games tonight. We need a W badly though. Hopefully the guys can pull one out. Also tonight on the schedule:
Lakers at Blazers...can't believe I'm going to say this but...Go Lakers!
Rockets at Warriors...Go Warriors!
Hornets at Mavs...once again, can't believe I'm saying this but..Go Mavs!
Jazz by 15-18 pts. Spurs are done this year.
why cant your posting be done forever
Given the situation with Timmy's knees I'd normally say that Utah could beat you, but the Jazz have this kind of bad habit of just flat out refusing to show up for games or play any form of defense whatsoever. So right now I don't really care if the Jazz are playing the Spurs or the Thunder. Either way, I like the opposition's chances. SA 162, UT 94

More on Duncan and his knees
By Jeff McDonald
Sometimes news travels slowly here at Spurs Central. Talked to a Spurs staffer before tonight's game against Utah.
He said Tim Duncan banged knees with another player during the win at Oklahoma City on Tuesday night, which is part of the reason Duncan played so gingerly the next night against Portland.
Duncan, apparently, is feeling pretty good, and might ditch the knee pads tonight. We shall see.
