Bavetta, Tom Washington, Mark Wunderlich

Salvatore is incompetent.


Bavetta is just senile.

It's funny cause it's true.

There you go Hornet fan....Bennet Salvatore...., we just name some ty reffed games, lo and behold, one name keeps coming up...if you don't think that guy sucks, you will one day. You heard it here first.

[roturn]

This something I agree on with you guys... is old...

That was Bennett Salvatore (and Ron Garretson and Greg Willard).

Correct.

I remember the main reason I hate Salvatore(outside of his completely altering the outcome of the Rockets Mavs series a few years ago with a bad out of bounds call among many other blown calls)...I remember when that bag fouled Drob out in like 10 minutes of play against the Lakers in 03.

That was game four of that series. Shaq and Kobe each went to the line 20 times. But only TD was getting to the line for the Spurs, hence the Lakers shot twice as many free throws. That game was such a load of crap.

Bavetta isn't a great ref but I'll take that won-loss record we have with him.

My favorite refs are Joey Crawford, Dan Crawford, and Bob Delaney.

One interesting note regarding officials. Joe Forte officiated 3 of the 4 regular season meetings between New Orleans and San Antonio. The 2 Spurs losses and the home win for the Spurs. Ken Mauer was listed as on the crew at both Spurs' wins.

Damn it. I wanted DCrawford. Bavetta and Wunderlich on the road isn't a very good combination. Bavetta will hit Parker for about two travelings and Duncan for a questionable offensive foul ... like always.

On the road, you want either of the Crawfords or Javie. But yeah this crew is better than Salvatore or Nies.

[G-Nob]

ie B loves calling offensive fouls because doing the motion makes him feel young.

No Joey no worry.

[T Park]

WTF, haven't got Dan Crawford yet.

BS...

[lefty]

Well this officiating crew is better than the one that ed us in game 1

The refs in the NBA are a ing joke all around. It's pathetic that we have to worry about who is reffing a particular game. Does anyone have any good, realistic ideas about how to fix this. I don't want constant replay either but I think there should be a few challenges available.

" I do. But I don't want to "

How does that saying go....complaining about no shoes and meeting a man with no feet?

Tim Duncan: "I complained about the NBA refs until I was introduced to FIBA!"
