The REFEREES are getting ready for MAVS love in playoffs

You just beat me to this comment.

I watched the calls, they were all terrible. Duncan got 2 T on the bench, that is pathetic, and he was just laughing. he really didn't say anything. Some refs really are on a power trip.

 

i would extremely unhappy if i were betting on the spurs in vegas.

 

Umm matey, Obviously you have reading comprehension issues. I said the mavs got jobbed by the refs in a lot of games over the past 5 or 6 years all because of their loudmouth owner, i didnt say they got jobbed by the refs yesterday, COMPRENDE!

Jeez, idiot who can't comprehend is tryin to call someone else an idiot, right.

wow...

offensive foul on oberto?!?!?! poor guy was standing there and he gets called for the foul.

 

That is about the most absurd thing I've ever seen. I hate Joey Crawford for making me side with Tim Duncan on this one.

 

HAHAHA, great stuff

Yeah man, like i said reading comprehension problems. IIRC in my earlier post I said, as much as i'm a rockets fan the mavs have been on the wrong end of quite a few calls in the past couple of years and all because of their owner. you must have severe problems if you think Cuban calling out NBA referees and making them and the league look stupid helped the mavs get good calls and get referees to be partial to them in the past couple of years.

I can't believe you're serious when you wrote if anything mark cuban has helped them get refs partial to them. The Same Cuban who at any perceived slight to his mavs would call up the league office and b**** at them, you really think he helped their case. you obviously didnt watch the nba finals to see how cuban made a dumba$$ of himself and embarrased his team. Yet you think he's helped in the mavs getting good treatment for refs. wow, just wow.

 

lol. i just watched the ejection because for some reason the game is on espn right now. duncan annoys me usually, but i can't find anything wrong with what he did. crawford just made a joke of himself.

 

am i seeing some video everyone else is not? where is the offensive foul call?

all that video shows is duncan getting T'd up, then the ft for the T, then the mavs have the ball and josh howard drives, then oberto (who is playing defense) comes out to meet him and is clearly moving (he even jumps a little) and gets called for a foul, then duncan laughs and is thrown out. so a) he committed a foul and b) it was on defense. is there a video of him getting called for an illegal screen when it wasn't one?

 

After duncan gets ejected, Oberto gets an offensive foul were he sets a pick, and Howard runs into him.(it is at 3/4 of the video in the post you quoted). That offensive foul is also unbelievable. After this game i have NO respect left for Crawford.

 

oh okay, thanks. my laptop starts using about 95% cpu when i play youtube videos (anyone know why and how i can fix that?) so i just stopped watching after the ejection so the fan would stop going crazy. yeah, that does look like a pretty bad call, but it's not really something you don't see blown all the time. bang bang play and one guy flops and sometimes they screw it up.

 

try updating ur browser (IE 7.0 or firefox 2.0) and ur flash player (adobe flash 9.0)

 

Joey Crawford was the ref who in shaqs first year with the heat T'd up Deke for smiling after he clearly blocked Shaq but was called for a foul.

All he was doing was smiling, not saying anything this incident just brings back those memories.

 

Doesn't mean anything for sure, but Joey Crawford did not call a game last night (24 refs called 8 games). Be interesting to see if he calls any of the last two nights.

good work soldier. we have to keep an eye on this situation.

 

if crawford doesn't get the boot....what are the odds he calls a game between the rockets and jazz/mavs in the playoffs and kicks out yao ming?
