But we will have Knick Bavetta, who has never ever reffed a Spurs playoff win.thursday will be Salvatore-free.
Well it was evened out by having Crawford. I was reading a stat yesterday where the Pistons have lost something like 75% of the playoff games he's officiated in (I don't have the exact percentage but it's very lop-sided). The Pistons problems with Crawford go back a few years even. Did you catch the T he gave Brown last night? There were several people between he and Brown when he T'd LB up. It was like he was looking and waiting for something...

Why can't we just not have Bavetta or Salvatore, both of these guys suck ass.
so are we planning to poison their food or something like the south africans did to nz at the 1995 world cup
just kidding
Salvatore doesn't shoot the ball for the Pistons.
I wish he did, I wish he did.
Probably going to see Bavetta and Joey Crawford Thursday, dunno about the third.
Spurs had their chance last night.
This aint New Jersey and the Pistons werent gonna allow a freakin 19-0 run.
How's the view from that ledge you're standing on?
What would be best is if Bavetta, Crawford, Garretson, and Salvatore were all absent. Then fans of both teams could feel it was a clean game.
if the pattern holds up the crew from game 3 will do game 7 so Joey Crawford but no Bavetta.
Joey has been pretty fair at SA
The Pistons are 2-12 when Joey Crawford is the ref. That is pretty bad when you consider the Pistons were 54-28 this year, plus 15-9 in the playoffs. Thats 37 Total losses and Joey Crawford was on nearly 33% of them.
Joey Crawford, Bavetta, and Bob Delaney maybe?
Pistons when Craford or Salvatore were reffing this year in the playoffs: 2-7.
Without either Crawford or Salvatore: 13-2.
You do the math.
Haven't the Spurs lost both Bennett Salvatore games in this series?
Salvatore is horrible. I'm so glad we are done with him. Knick Bavetta is just blind as a bat and I think he has gone a little senile.
I could tolerate Crawford, Delaney, and whoever else (except Nies) for tomorrow's game.
ok, I know this has probably been posted a million times (if not more) about how sucky Salvatore is when the Spurs play. I tohught I'd grab a few quotes from the years and compile them to see what I come up with. Im not talking stats or crap like that, just general concesus on his officiating.
Granted I may be a bit selective in my quotes, but that is why Im posting. I want people to point out the good stuff about Salvatore (as if the devil actually can do any good).
My goal is to hope we can all thoroughly explore why this guy "appears" to hate the Spurs so damn much. So lets just all start out with a few quotes over the years and build on that.

So what I am supposed to say? Thanks for the memories? Better luck next year? Everything is cherry water ice? The premature exit to the Pistons was all because of referee Bennett Salvatore, who whistled more than a construction worker on Rittenhouse Square in the springtime?
I cant
Eight days earlier, the Mavericks embarrassed our beloved Cavaliers, beating them by triple-digits in Dallas. But they didn’t count on an ANGRY club on Sunday. The high-octane Mavs were mounting a comeback and things seemed to be going swimmingly for them until referee Bennett Salvatore tossed Tractor and Drew Gooden. Both players chucked their sweatbands into the seats and were shown the door. The Gund went berserk.2000, Knicks-Heat, Game 7 ... Knicks advance to the conference finals ... falling out of bounds, Latrell Sprewell awarded a timeout by referee Bennett Salvatore with 2.1 seconds left even though none of the Knicks called for one ... Sprewell admits after the game that he hadn't called a timeout ... the Miami players chase the referees off the court after the game, yelling that they had been robbed ... after the game, Jamal Mashburn tells reporters, "They had three officials in their pocket" and Tim Hardaway refers to referee Bavetta as "Knick Bavetta."That was just in 10 min. of "SKIMMING" through text. How much more can you find on this jerk-off?These officials need to understand that when they are not noticed they are doing a good job. The less the officials are noticed the better the game is. This fact is lost on one particular NBA referee named Bennett Salvatore. This is a ref with a reputation of confrontations with players and coaches, but which is worse its almost as if he gets joy out of it. Last year he was miked up during a game and it was as if he was playing to the home audience with the way he was talking to the players and coaches, and calling the game almost as if he wanted their to be a confrontation. There is no place in sports for that, and if that's how he always calls the game he should be immediately fired. LINK - http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com/tan...ake030104.html
Thats a general "bash" thread on Salvatores officiating on a specific game. I want to know what he has been up to since he started and why he does what he does.
I feel its a different topic, if Kori, in all her infinate wisdom, thinks this should be merged then so be it.
Spurs are losing; it had to be said.
With Salvatore, that sentiment is just a matter of general principle.
What a focker. He let LeBron score on will.
44 points?
Bump.
Bump.
Bump.
