Sigh...once again I will try to explain this slowly for our little jinxed buddy. None of us defended any call made by J. Crawford...we simply dumped on you little fanboys coming onto an officials website and b*tching about an official - not his calls, but b*tching about him personally...as I said before (if you bothered to actually read it) all officials make mistakes. Obviously Crawford made some and is going to pay - I never defended that...but I will tell you and other fanboys that you are wrong when you question that officials integrity or make blanket statements such as "he's horrible" or (like others did) make comments that Crawford was only calling things to make some team owner happy...discuss the calls all you want, but leave the personal attacks out of it...

Ya know, as much as we hate the fanboys that come running in here everytime their team gets screwed, I think that in this situation we have to admit that our boy Joey really jacked something up. I mean, for the league to suspend him for the entire playoffs, after admitting he's one of the top rated officials in the league, he apparently really jacked something up. I'm guessing that the assertion by Duncan that Joey challenged him to a fight was probably supported by some recording that picked it up, probably from some courtside mic or something, and that's why they felt such a long suspension was warranted.

So, let the fanboys have their fun on this one.

I agree...he screwed up and is facing the consequences of that. Does that make him a "horrible official"?? Did he screw up just to "make Cuban happy"??? Is he a terrible person?? Nope to all of those...so let's discuss his mistake and how we can all learn from it, but attacking him as a person? Nope...

Even Stern admitted that both "he has a history" and "he's consistently one of the top rated officials."

Fanboy...LOL your a JOKE!!! Grow some & stop making excuses for everyone wearing stripes, YOU MAKE US ALL LOOK BAD!!!
Sigh....

Not one post ever about officiating, rules, or mechanics- in either football or basketball. Every post made to date is simply dumping on officials.

Methinks we got ourselves another 14-year old troll here, showing up just to bother the real officials.

Why don't you post your college schedule, fanboy?

IMO Joey's biggest mistake was his target that night. I am official an a fan of the NBA (one of the few among my peers). Tim Duncan is poster child for the NBA, an rightfully so. The NBA is mired in on an off court problems with is players and there image. I obviously don't know Mr Duncan personally, but he seems like a very likable individual who plays the game the right way, and conducts himself in a way we can all appreciate on and off the court. If this happens with the likes of a Rasheed Wallace or someone like that this is probably not as big of an issue. Maybe he's suspended for a few games, but the reaction as it were might be different. If anyone caught the interview on 60 Minutes a while back with his brother and father you would truly see the passion he has for the game. I think there is a lesson here for all of us, both on, and off the court. Hopefully cooler heads will prevail, Joey will see his error for what was, and return to the NBA.

Just finished an interesting book by Jeffrey Gitomer "The Little Red Book of Selling". A great quote of his in the book is this: "When you say it about yourself, it's bragging. When someone else says it about you, it's proof."

Career over?
Just saw on ESPN's Outside the Lines. Stern intimated that Crawford may have officiated his last game of his career. That's just ashame.

I'M NOT A FANBOY! I'M AN OFFICIAL TOO ! Joey was wrong this time. We all make mistakes. Duncan whines, but so does Nowitski, Bryant, James, etc. I'm tired of always being called a fanboy if I question an official on this forum. I don't mind when I get questioned by my fellow officials after a game. I try to learn from it.

After your remarks about the Rutgers' womans team, you're known here as something else. And that "something else" is a heckuva lot worse than a being a fanboy or jock sniffer.
