Time to grind. Come on Griz.....

[PBRME]

Close it out tonight!

 

[seshomoru]

A Joey Crawford game will always suck.

And it's on ESPN2... so no Barkley at half time and some terrible Will.I.Am tune to take us into breaks. We better win because everything else about this broadcast sucks.

 

[PBRME]

Thankfully it's on SportSouth in Southaven. Much better listening to the homers Pete and Brevin.

 

[seshomoru]

I always forget about that during the playoffs.

Unfortunately, Crawford is still the ref on the other channel as well. It's not that we necessarily get screwed, it's just that he calls so many damn fouls. He's the one ref more than any other that thinks everyone in the arena wants to see him.

and of course game 6 would come down to Barnes vs Allen.... WTF?

 

[drt7891]

I hate how the league intentionally puts him in every big game possible. I don't understand the fetish they have with him... is he that much better an official than all the other professional officials they have working games?

 

[PBRME]

I agree, Crawford and crew are killing the flow of the game.

 

[drt7891]

Holy ****... how do you give Zbo a personal AND a technical and only

give Griffin a personal when Griffin pulled his *** down??? What a God awful call....

 

[seshomoru]

Out of control. Nice work, Joey.

The Clippers aren't even playing basketball. They're out to hurt somebody now.

 

[drt7891]

Somebody take the damn whistle out of his mouth...

every trip down the damn floor is a foul... before I knew who Joey Crawford was, I often wondered who the bald guy was that couldn't keep from blowing the damn whistle every possession...

 

[clintstone]

Huge last 40 seconds to end the third.

 

[seshomoru]

39 seconds of karma to close out the third.

Even Grant Hill is acting like a *****.

 

[PBRME]

Fantastic way to end the 3rd. Did anyone else hear the fans chanting whoop that trick?

 

[seshomoru]

Somebody tell the young Blake Griffin

that he grows up to be a punk

 

[drt7891]

Clippers trying out that new defensive strategy...

"If you get beat, goaltend the **** out of the ball."

 

[PBRME]

The way the game has been called is falling right into the Clippers comeback plans. We can't defend the drive to the basket because of foul trouble.

 

[drt7891]

...and just like that, 2 HUGE 3 point baskets by Conley and Balis.

Then inside by ZBo for a tremendous answer... This one is far from over, though...

 

[seshomoru]

Chris Paul, ladies and gentlemen

Good riddance to these clowns.

 

[drt7891]

Joey Crawford making **** up, now... I hate the Clippers but CP just got majorly screwed... how do you eject a guy for that?

 

[seshomoru]

for a cheap low punch? Yeah you eject his ***.

 

[drt7891]

Maybe it's the low-def version I'm watching...

but it looked to me like he was going to block out (facing Gasol) and Gasol embellished to buy a call... I'm not condemning Gasol because every player in the NBA embellishes... I'll take it...

And what do ya know... The Joey Crawford Show just got ZBo, too.

 

[seshomoru]

It was also CP's second tech, so it was automatic

It was bush league enough to draw a T the way the game was going.

 

[drt7891]

I knew it was his second T, but Crawford knew that, too...

I just didn't SEE anything worthy of a technical, but like I said, I only got one angle in low-def.

Joey Crawford handed out technicals tonight like pennies to a homeless guy... 6 techicals and 2 ejections. I really hate him. The guy was fired twice from the NBA from tabling money from downgrading airline seats and cheating on his taxes as a result, and also an altercation with Tim Duncan. The guy is an attention-whoring joke of an official and, just like you said, thinks everyone came to see him call a game. I do not understand why the NBA has this deal where they put him in every big game they can.

 

[dawgatUSM]

I agree it was bush league In a game that chippy you can't do that. Most commentators have agreed Paul deserved the last T.

Still hate Crawford though.

 

[OMRebels13]

I went last night, it was definitely an awesome atmosphere. The whoop that trick/clip (I'm honestly not sure which one was being yelled) was hilarious. I was wondering if it was loud enough to be heard on tv.
