Sigh.
Wow, this is gonna be interesting to read about tommarow.
Well the next best thing would be to ensure that he does NOT referee any Spurs game ever again.Crawford won't even be close to fired. They would have fired Steve Javie long ago if that type of thing was fireable.

I meant his post game comments, not the laughing.
No he will get a fine, nothing he did warrants a suspension. Especially one that carries into the playoffs. Where is the precedant for something like that. Tim did not start a fight he got tossed and yelled at Crawford, Big Deal happens 100 times a season.
At least not any playoff games, anyway.
I think you mean "round 1".I can't wait to see the TNT intro for the playoffs...
"Duncan, Crawford, game 1, tonight on TNT"
I think they automatically get fined for each technical.
Two words: Jake O'Donnell. He was fired for JUST this kind of thing; a vendetta against Drexler.Crawford won't even be close to fired. They would have fired Steve Javie long ago if that type of thing was fireable.
Tim is going to get fined but the league i am sure is going to talk to Crawford and maybe not let him ref any Spurs playoff games because not just here everywhere the overwelming opinion seems to be that was a terrible ejection.
National TV, game the Spurs are still in it for home team advantage in the second round and this lame ass is rubber necking to prove he's the man. Fire the ,
I thought going into today's game, the Suns magic number was 1?
Timmy's ejection was just the one of many horrible calls in that stretch. There must have been 5 bad calls in a row against us. That's why Timmy was laughing. It was blatantly obvious that the refs had some sort of agenda.
If the Spurs would have won out and the Suns dropped their last two, Spurs would have been the 2 seed.
I am just now getting into the thread so maybe you guys have already covered this.
But those who listened to the post game show... who else found Charlie arrogant and infuriating and... ugh.
Seriously... who hangs up on people during a call in radio show.
Furthermore, the only thing stupider than the ejection was the way Charlie tried so hard to justify it.
As for Timmy, I am very proud and comforted that he stood up for himself.
The ejection was re ed... so stupid!

DALLAS (AP) - Losing a tense, physical, emotional game to their top rival and being forced to settle for the third seed in the Western Conference was bad enough for Tim Duncan and the San Antonio Spurs.
Even worse: Duncan is convinced official Joey Crawford is out to get him, with a brawl possibly needed to settle things.
Crawford hit Duncan with two technical fouls just 1:16 apart late in the third quarter of San Antonio's 91-86 loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday. The second came while he was laughing on the bench and meant an automatic ejection, just the second of his nine-year career.
"He looked at me and said, 'Do you want to fight? Do you want to fight?"' Duncan said. "If he wants to fight, we can fight. I don't have any problem with him, but we can do it if he wants to. I have no reason why in the middle of a game he would yell at me, 'Do you want to fight?"'
The Spurs sorely missed their top player down the stretch, failing to score a basket over the last 6:32 while allowing a 9-0 run to end the game. The loss ended their hopes of catching Phoenix for the No. 2 seed and home-court advantage if they meet in the second round.
While this was a thrilling game between Western Conference powers, the story of the day turned out to be Duncan vs. Crawford.

"He came into the game with a personal vendetta against me," said Duncan, who had 16 points, seven rebounds, six assists and two blocks in his limited action. "It had to be because I didn't do anything the entire game. I said three words to him and the three words were, 'I got fouled' on a shot. ... That's all I said to him the entire game."
Crawford disagreed, saying that "he was complaining the whole game."
"And then he went over to the bench and he was over there doing the same stuff behind our back," Crawford said. "I hit him with one (technical) and he kept going over there, and I look over there and he's still complaining. So I threw him out."
Crawford spoke to a pool reporter before Duncan spoke to the media. Asked about Duncan not thinking he deserved to be tossed, Crawford said: "That's his opinion. He said nothing when he was walking off the court and he called me a piece of (expletive). Is that nothing?"

But I was excited tonight to have something to hit.
Now to go flush little Joey.
Angel, what did Parker say?
Go Warriors Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The best one was Rasheed Wallace getting ejected for just looking at a ref (I think it was Javie).
After the game, a reporter asked what Wallace did to get the tech. "He looked at me," the ref replied.
you !Your ing team barely won without Duncan so nothing to be proud of! As for whining, look at Dirt who cries like everytime he is grazed! Whiny-assed !
