It just seemed out of character for him...especially the way HE played the game. That's why it pains me to see HOF caliber players try to slide into an anlalysts role. JVG..I expect the nonsense out of him. Magic...I guess I expect more.

Why would ANYONE want to see JVG play? Oh, you mean Van Gundy? Never mind.

A seven personal foul limit would be reasonable for any game that goes into overtime, because how many games go into overtime? In addition, a select few go further than one overtime.

I love how people think just because they know who Joey Crawford is, they can exclaim how he is the worst officialthey've ever seen. He has his quirks, and has been known to be a hothead, but he is one of the most experienced officials there is.

Every NBA official is the worst they've ever seen. I can guarantee this...if there's a game 7 in the NBA Finals, he WILL be the crew chief for that game.

He's at it again tonight.

"They need to move that restricted line out further. The charge has become to big of an impediment to spectacular driving plays."

Yeah, let's just remove all defensive aspects from the game so we can go back to the days of the ABA and scores of 161 - 148.

What an idiot.

I did like the tri-colored ball. Especially on Rick Barry FTs and Ron Boone 3 pointers.

I just watched the game with a buddy and he revealed that "JVG is my favorite! He's funny!" All I could do is shake my head

+1

Sadly, it's a pro-offense, anti-defense mentality that even knowledgeable basketball fans possess.

Stephen Bardo (ESPN) called me a "hater" because I pointed out some rule screwups he made on his Twitter page. I said it's not hating, it's providing knowledge.
Funny you mentioned him. I officiated his son a couple of years ago in a Sectional Final game. I was not impressed by his comments about his rules knowledge of the game then and certainly not when I hear him on TV.

Peace

Fans do not like him because he will not put up with the players sh!t. The league obviously likes him and why he keeps getting the assignments he gets. So much for what the fans think.

Peace

What is truly amazing to me is how this IMBECILE was actually a head coach in the NBA at one point.
