Ballin’: Referee Joey Crawford Will Not Stand For Tim Duncan’s Laughter
Uncategorized April 16th. 2007, 12:09pm
San Antonio 86, Dallas 91: Tim Duncan got ejected for smiling and then was challenged to a fight by referee Joey Crawford. It seems impossible, right? Apparently, it happened. If Dick Bavetta was willing to race Charles Barkley, why won’t Duncan crawl in the ring with Crawford?
Clippers 100, Kings 105: So when the vastly underrated Elton Brand goes on a premature summer vacation because the inept fools running this franchise back into the ground a) didn’t deal Corey Maggette, b) realized Mike Dunleavy still can’t coach, and c) somehow failed to notice Sam Cassell would be collecting social security checks all season long, what will happen?
Golden State 121, Minnesota 108: Sweet! The Warriors are now a full game up on the Clippers with two to play. Jason Richardson hit for 32, and we’re one game closer to the sexy matchup of Dallas and Golden State in the playoffs. For the record, if the T-Wolves ever want to move on, they’ll need to shift those 29 shots from Ricky Davis (42 points) to Randy Foye.
Chicago 101, Washington 68: This is not a knock on Donnell Taylor, but if he is starting at point guard for the Wizards in the first round of the playoffs, will Washington top 75 points while being swept? It could get ugly, regardless of the opponent. Ben Gordon had 30 points and Tyrus Thomas collected 10 boards in 16 minutes.
Lakers 109, Sonics 98: The Lakers are in the playoffs! But not without controversy. And we don’t mean Jordan Farmar starting over Smush Parker. Apparently, fans are challenging the greatness of Phil Jackson, saying he hasn’t made any of the right moves this season. Ouch. Kobe had 50.

I don’t know. Phil was making the right moves when the Lakers were 1 1/2 games out of the 3rd seed in December. The Lakers problem is defense. I don’t know if Phil is pushing the right buttons in that context, or if the players are too thick headed to know the proper way to rotate.

I wish someone would tell Eddie Jordan that resting Daniels makes no sense, unless Eddie thinks the injury bug is about to strike him.

I know the real reason Duncan got tossed – tanking! Doc Rivers gave the order. Crawford delivered the tank-hit.

Daniels was hurt after he took a hard fall last week. I’ve never missed him more. At least Brenda Todd Haywood didn’t get to play.

Daniels should have been playing more minutes all year. Anyone can tell he is one of the better players on the Wizards team and runs the team far better than Arenas or Stevenson, who aren’t true point guards.

Joey Crawford apparently forgot that no one tunes in to the game to watch his old, bald ass. We have the best players in basketball in the NBA with comparable talent on the coaching side of the ball. Is having referees with great talent that could at least run the floor with the athletes asking too much?
Who was the referee that threw Clyde the glide out of the playoffs for little to no reason and was never heard from again? He was supposedly the league’s finest referee’s before that incident. Hopefully lil’ Joey is up on the chopping block after this ego eruption.

Yeah that Crawford thing is totally ridiculous. To even receive one tech for what Duncan did is ridiculous, but two? My goodness. It was clearly a personal, immature thing. Get rid of him. That can’t happen.

That crusty bastard Crawford is building quite a reputation of being an over the hill jealous prick, and I’m really really sick of it. I dont even like the Spurs or Timmy, but the dude practically never smiles, he finally does and you kick him out of the game?!? I wish Duncan would just take one of those frying pan hands of his and bitch slap grandpa’s head off.
