He suggested this after talking about the missed basket interference call in the Nuggets game (?) and some "bad" calls at the end of the Knicks Celtics game.

He also mentioned a bad call in this year's NCAA tournament. He talked about a flagrant foul being assessed when the replay showed a legally blocked shot. I don't remember any such play? Does anybody remember.

Pure bull****....at least nine of those losses have been by double digits.

Someone at ESPN needs to get some scruples.

I will give the guys on Around the Horn some credit...when asked if this was an issue, all of them to a tee said it wasn't an issue at all that Dan was working the game and that Dan Crawford was on of the best officials in the NBA.

When your team is a consistent loser in the playoffs, you have to grasp at straws.

Maybe they can blame him for Greg Oden, too.

He probably did have something to do with it now that you mention it...NBA has it out for Greg Oden and the Portland Trailblazers!

Saw this discussed on PTI as well and Micheal Wilbon is a friend of Crawford and he said that was silly. Tony K seemed to think the NBA should take him off the game. It is unbelievable what the media comes up with sometimes.
