To me, running in front of a shooter isn't even an option. Either hold up short and mark the 3 or find room behind, along the sideline. I'm not sure if Joe even realized where he was at on the court! The angle given doesn't show the amount of room available on the sideline, and I'm not assuming that there wasn't room. It appears though, that some have seen a different angle that shows otherwise....
His momentum wasn't going to allow for him to stop, only to change directions. If he had tried to stop, he would have run into Curry.

And I can say this from my limited exposure to NBA officials, Dick Bavetta is not seen as close to the level of a Joey Crawford or Scott Foster or Tony Brothers.

I don't think I've tried to compare Dick Bavetta (2014) to Joey Crawford (2014). Some would say Crawford is at his peak now, or has been the past 3-5 years?? Bavetta's career peak was what, in the mid-90's??

Joey Crawford has been in the NBA 37 season now, Bavetta 39. I don't think there has ever been a time Bavetta was rated ahead of Crawford.

And Bavetta was on Earl Strom's enemies list, which I'm sure wasn't the best thing for his career.

For information purposes, Joe Crawford has worked at least one NBA Finals game, except for the 2007 NBA Finals, since 1986.

How dare you mention Crawdord before the annointed one !!!! Don't roll up into DC without giving #48, (that's Mr. Foster to you ), his proper due !!!!!

. See you next weekend brother !!!!

More fuel for those who don't care for the officiating of Joey Crawford.
He mishandled the final play of the 2nd quarter in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

I see nothing wrong with the play much less anything Joe Crawford did

OK, what did I miss? Did they eventually count the basket? I do not see anyone waving off the basket.

Peace

I was at the game. They counted it. They didn't review it on the monitor, they just grabbed their jackets and took off. Not sure how Nevedaref means this was mishandled.
