"We have no bigs?!

WE HAVE NO BIGS?!"

The headline tomorrow:

BLAZERS COACH FIRED WHEN FOUND STUFFING RUDY FERNANDEZ WITH MIRACLE-GRO.
Despite being in a coma, Fernandez is expected to play at the same quality level for Game 6.

Hahaha wow. Sadly there is a lot of truth to that.

Hey, I'll make you a deal: Our starting center for Fernandez! What a deal!!




(I mean Collins, of course, not Robin)

Somewhere Nicolas Batum is jealous of Brandon and wants his pacifier back.

Batum told oregonialive.com:
" I was just taking a nap and when I woke up my pacifier was gone, these Americans are all dirty thiefs"

Just caught the replay game on TNT. Waited a whole day through school to not see the score-killer. Great game, worth the wait. On to game 6! <3

Hells yes.

That is all.

Joey Crawford is an idiot:

I thought it must've been a soft defensive foul on Camby fighting through Hill to stay on Amare. Wasn't even that. That was just a terrible terrible call.

I have to ask: What photos of David Stern's wife does Joey Crawford have?

[MarJJMar]

Should have been a foul on Roy fouling Hill. Crawford messed up.

Crawford has to be the worst "tenured" ref in the league.

The main board has a humorous thread going. Seems most every team has one awful Crawford foul.

My personal favorites are the "OMG! I think Duncan is laughing at me! FOUL! You wanna fight?"

and "Wow, can barely keep up with these professional basketball players, I better run faster! Oh crap! He stopped to quickly and I can't.... erm... it was Chauncy! Chauncy, I swear!"

Great win by the suns the other day dudley and frye really came to play, that 4 pt play by frye was awsome lol . I also really liked the way Amare play that goggle play was awsome when he was driving and fixed it and still scored lol. But man this suns team is so frusturating sometimes they look just awsome, and then other nights the suns can't seem to do a lot right... I really hope they close it out in portland COME ON SUNS!!!

That thread's epic.

There should be an entire YouTube channel, website, and political party entirely devoted to embarrassing NBA referees.
