Generally speaking, Joey is a homer. This should be a good thing for us.

Just tell me no Zach Zarba, and it will make everything alright

Joey is the worst. I do not understand why the NBA allows him to ref games given his history.

I'm taking the over on 5 technicals. Just hope nobody gets thrown out or suspended because of that fool. He will be mad because the game is not primetime.

Doc's a funny guy.

You can just feel Doc, Terry, and everybody on that roster trying to turn the series into a grudge match with extracurricular distractions .... Why? Because they can't really win in a real basketball series. They're overmatched.

So they're grasping at anything -- trash talk, etc. -- to try to turn the series into a mental game and a circus. They kind of figure that out of that chaos, maybe they can somehow get the Knicks on the run and emerge victorious.

I can't stand this team. Finish them.

Absolutely true, and so far it's working. It started with Doc's comment about the refs, and then JR's elbow in game 3 gave them another window to make this about things other than basketball. You have Doc's comment about wishing he was out there playing, the story of Terry as the hero who got his revenge in game 4, the trash talk from KMart and JR, and now Doc saying we're making excuses. This all distracts from the fact that we have destroyed them in all of the 2nd halves, and they blew a huge a lead on their home court in game 4 that nearly ended their season.

It's up to the Knicks to put an end to all of this nonsense tonight.

Joey Crawford reffing tonight?

Doc is a politician. Lot's of good one liners that aren't really true and don't tell the whole story. He's working the refs, the league and annoying our players/fans. He lives for this.

Melo will be ejected by the 3rd quarter, Tyson will pick up a tech and KG gets to do his dirty screening all game.

Not feeling confident about this game anymore.

According to Google, Crawford has a history of screwing over the Celtics as well

Didn't we blow out the last team that we played when Crawford reffed?

This could explain why he hates the Knicks and all 50-50 calls go against us:

Joseph "Joey" Crawford (born August 30, 1951 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania[1]) has been an American professional basketball referee in the National Basketball Association (NBA) since 1977 and wears the uniform number 17. Crawford is one of the strictest officials in the NBA and has developed a reputation for assessing technical fouls against both players and coaches.[2][3]

The truth of the matter is that a long time ago, Joey lost sight of the reality you and I know & love. He's truly nuts.
