I don't know if this has already been posted yet, but I think we finally drew Joey:

WTF? The basketball gods must have a sense of humor.
What a load of crap... you have got to be joking... this is laughable.
Prediction. Crawford gets his final revenge and TD sits with foul trouble most of the game or even worse is ejected in the 3rd for some bull reason.
After the game Stern finally cans Crawford for good.
lol,
I think Joey ref'ed at least one game earlier in the season against us. How was the outcome of that? Anyone remember?
I can't believe Stern has allowed this to happen. It isn't like Crawford v. Duncan is a one time event. The guy has clearly had it in for him for years, he needs to be completely taken away from all Spurs games 4ever. No questions, it should have been a condition of his re-instatement.
CRAWFORD IS A CHILD MOLESTING TAX CHEAT!
I think we'll get a fair deal. It's the playoffs if one of those guys s up now, the whole world will see...
Whoa child molesting?
Crawford?
=
Speaking of Stern........how come he hasn't been to a SUNS home game this year?
...
This will be strange coming from me. But, as much as I prefer Danny Crawford, Joey isn't a bad ref, aside from his Duncan issues. He is generally pretty fair, and given the tension and past situations, I think we are not likely to get a ton of unfair calls. Joey will be keen to prevent any hint of unfairness or disparity that would call attention to him or cause controversy. He doesn't want the whole thing dragged out again, especially because he would lose his job this time. I think we'll be ok tonight -Joey isn't the worst we could have drawn (Salvatorre is).
The game I remember him doing he was very professional about it and I think favored the Spurs a little bit, probably out of fear of being retired again. He even put up with crap he would have t'd the years before.
No idea if that more mellow version of Joey is like the current, though, since that was fairly early in the season.
No jokes today!!!!
D'Antoni: Hey they are laughing at us!
Willard: Go to Joe
Joey, Derick Stafford and the Finger
I kinda like the Idea of a Joey Crawford reffed game. No way he tries to screw the Spurs and risk his job. In fact I think he goes out of his way to make sure the Spurs don't get hosed.
do you ever sleep?
This is a good thing . Joe Crawford is terrified to make any questionable calls against Duncan these days.
Exactly my thoughts. I don't think Crawford will favor one team over the other. Calls will get missed and non-calls will be called for both teams Im sure.
Tim needs to just ignore him aswell.
I don't know if you watched the Lakers close out the Nuggets last night. The Nuggets got absolutely boned by the refs in the 4th quarter. Kobe made some great shots, but it was the refs that decided the outcome of the game. I hate the Nugs and George Karl every bit as much as the Lakers and the Zen Master, so I don't have any reason to be biased one way or the other. That officiating was some sloppy, one-sided . Bavetta even reversed 2 or 3 calls (I think it was 3) down the stretch - each time in L.A.'s favor. Not only were they bad calls, they were reall momentum changers.
I'm not talking conspiracy, but it was definitely one-sided. I hate to think about being on the short end of that. The Spurs might have been able to fight through it, but it would have been tough. It was just too much for the Nuggets.
yeah, there were a couple really cheap ass ghost fouls called on the Nuggs down the stretch during critical possessions.
He decided to watch it on TV to boost up the ratings.
Not like the reffing has been great up till now - Spurs played through two TERRIBLY reffed games in which 2 of their players were fouled out on NONCALLS - and still won.
