No agenda? Like not eliminating the US from contention? For the king of conspiracies and chips on a shoulder pretty lame not to see a potential reason.
When asked if JC could appeal, Stern said "It's not gonna Happen"! Awesome!! He also said that Joey said he thinks he did the right thing and if given the chance he would do it again.
I don't think anyone truly wants to cause someone to lose their jobs but hopefully now REFS and PLAYERS both know that no one is above the law (cept shaq) dang...we just want consistency ! and at the end of the day if your team won or lost it was because of the players not the refs!
Glad to see him go, but at the same this could have a negative effect. I just hope this doesn't give players a free pass to act like kids when they are sitting on the bench now.
Yes, because everyone knows you shouldn't have any fun when you play a game for a living.
WTF is that supposed to mean?
Most players ARE kids. Well, all but Horry and Finley.
I think the important thing is that stern said when a ref feels he is being mocked or a player is trying to bait him that they are instructed to walk away from the problem. Turn their head and walk away. Obviously Joey was looking for trouble not walking away from the problem.
Kskonn
Yeah, Kobe had nothing to do with the Lakers demise. Pistons were the better team that year. Live with it.
And by the way, THE LAKERS!
Guess that Walmart greetin gig may be full time.He also said that Joey said he thinks he did the right thing and if given the chance he would do it again.
This is such poetic justice. Joey thought Timmy laughing at him was bad and now the whole world is.
What is it they say about karma?
Indefinitely is such an open ended term that he could only be suspended until the playoffs begin or until the start of the next round or the round after that.
It may seem unlikely, but it could happen that way.
You guys seem to hate Salvatore and Dan Crawford. Why is that? I think Salvatore blew a call that may have cost the Spurs a game vs. Dallas last season, but, overall, I think he's a good ref.
Any word on Tim's punishment, if any?
I agree. Do you remember how bad Javie used to be?
Hopefully he'll be able to give us a few more good years of officiating...
Stern made it clear that he will not be back until next season. he is suspended through this years playoffs. After the season they will sit down and discuss his responsibilities.
Crawford's suspension will cover at least the remainder of the 2006-07 season, including the NBA Playoffs and Finals.
good move by Stern. you woulda had a bunch of people seriously (and legitimately) questioning the results of this year's playoff games, if Crawford had been assigned to a Spurs game
stern said throught this playoffs and finals
The words "tayshawn" and "bully" in the same sentence. That's good.
Crawford needs to realize the fans pay to see TD, not him. Is he out of his freaking mind when he says that Duncan was showing him up from the bench? I've watched tons of games in person and on tv, and I don't pay any damn attention to the bench but what's going out on the floor. I guarantee you nobody watching at home or in the arena was paying Duncan any attention at all. Crawford drew attention to something nobody was even aware of.
Duncan fined $25,000 for his comments.
