Joey Crawford officiating Spurs games..

[HarlemHeat37]

this is an obvious thread, but it's getting ridiculous..how is the league allowing him to ref Spurs games?..

I'm honestly not exaggerating at all..if you look at ANY Spurs game since the Duncan incident, we're getting robbed by officials when Crawford is the ref..

the NBA has obviously lost credibility over the years, but they don't do themselves any favors with decisions like this..a ref gets into a widely publicized incident with a marquee player, yet they continue to allow that ref to officiate games where the player's team is involved..

the San Antonio media or the Spurs organization needs to continue to get on this, and make it known..send some tapes to the NBA..

Damn right..I've been saying this for a while. Dude seriously needs to be banned from Spurs games...it's really bad that no one in the front office gets this.

Agree 100%

Every games is the same . Spurs must do something

joey c can suck a .

[duncan228]

It's been nothing short of disgusting. When the league allowed him to come back they should have not allowed him to ref Spurs games. If I remember right, at the time the league said that all refs had to be allowed to ref any game. They couldn't single him and the Spurs out. If that's the case he should not have been allowed to come back at all. He's proven over and over that he can't, or won't, call a Duncan game fairly.

[Thomas82]

I agree with every post in this thread.

[Creation88]

how many ing fouls are going to be called in this game?

41 fouls
49 free throws

[Spursfan092120]

As Sean said..it's unbelievable the calls that have been called in this game. Oh wait..nevermind..it's BELIEVABLE!! With this crew, anything's believable, and the officiating has been horrendous this whole game..horrible. That Marcus Williams call a minute ago giving the Jazz a free shot to get back in the game was the tip of the iceberg.

[Budkin]

Joey Crawford should never have been allowed to ref again, period... he is a menace, plain and simple, and can't be trusted to be impartial.

[benefactor]

Win...screw you Crawford.

[Creation88]

51 fouls
68 FTs

unbelievable.

yeah you are right about that ,i dread when he refs spur games

[Spursmania]

I agree 1000% percent. The problem will be more evident when the bas is called to ref a Spur playoff game. Really, the bias screwed calls Joey makes just pisses me off.

[anonoftheinternets]

totally unnecessary thread, those last horrible calls were not made by joey C. It was teh other referee. Plus spurs had the advantage, 38 to 30. There were horrible calls both ways, and we got a few they got a few. They called a carry on Dwill for crying out loud. Whens the last time that happnd?????????


cmon guys we are better than that.

[Thompson]

He should never ref a Spurs game, and he should never, ever, ever ref a playoff game. Like he did last year. When the NBA took the unusual step to say he blew a game-changing foul call on Barry (he was standing right next to it too, IIRC) that would have tied up our playoff series with the Lakers.

And they still let him ref our games. The NBA, where *#%@! happens.

+1 that was a miserable call, and the NBA owes us a rematch for that one. But tonight really, he dint make the bad calls, teh other ref did. Plus the calls were equal boht ways.

I agree with you duncan228, it is DISGUSTING TO SEE JOEY CRAWFORD officiating a Spurs game.

If he'll officiate any of the Spurs games in the playoffs, I'd rather watch a movie and check for the results of who won the game later. After the Duncan incident losing homecourt adv it way just okay with me bec he was one of my respected refs in the NBA once, but that non call foul on Barry of game 5 of last yr's WC finals was just unforgivable and unforgetable...

[crc21209]

Joey Crawford= trash. Him reffing Spurs games is just crap. The NBA could easily assign him other games on nights but noooo he just has to assign him to the San Antonio game. The Spurs would barely breathe on the Jazz...whistle. The Spurs..most notably TP would drive in..get hacked..no call.

[underdawg]

I don't understand what the fuss is all about - Utah hardly ever fouls. Don't they have the least amount of fouls per game? Spurs have the highest right?

Stern should be a little less obvious about his ref mole, but he has to pull out all stops to get his prodigal son a championship this year given the opportunity that he blew last year.

I'm sure Joey Crawford is a good ref...it's just that he hates Tim Duncan...he should not be allowed to ref any Spurs games.
