Referees that screw the Jazz most...all-time

Bronze Medal: Joey Crawford

One need not look further than last night's shankjob against the Utah Jazz in their own building against the power house Celtics. Crawford was horribly biased all night, culminating in a ticky tack Raja Bell call on Ray Allen under 2 mins to play. On the next possession Kevin Garnett grabs Kirilenko's wrist as AK is set to finish at the rim. Crawford swallows his whistle while Ray Allen turns a referee blunder into 3 points at the other end and puts the game out of reach.

Silver Medal: Bob Delaney

Once respected for being a former undercover law enforcer, Bob Delaney's name is now synonymous with criminal to me. If one were to bet against the Jazz in every game Delaney refs them, they'd have made money in a staggering 90%+ of those games. The worst of all being a critical game 5 in Staples Center in 2008. Delaney didnt try much to hide the fact that he hates the Jazz, and his bias cost Utah the critical game, and the series.

Gold Medal: Dick Bavetta

Never has a first name been the perfect noun to describe the man who owns it more than Dick Bavetta. This crypt-keeper of an NBA official is more responsible, IMHO, than Michael Jordan for the fact the Utah Jazz came away from the 1998 season with no hardware. Look at games 4 and 6 of that series to understand how one man's one-sided calls can be the difference between a 90-85 victory for the Jazz, and an 87-86 victory for the Bulls.

Who y'all got?

I only have 2 that i truly hate when reffing the jazz.

2. violet palmer

1. Joe crawford aka Motherfuc**g bitc*
About joe I hate that he wants to be the center of attention, also he doesnt let anyone show emotions (although last night he let a lot of the emotions go, probably because he knew he ripped us off)

No Steve Javie?

Do you guys not remember Game 5 in the 2008 West-Semis against the Lakers?

Ken Mauer...that slicked hair ...I've seen him at the airport before and it took everything I had not to go over and just start screaming

Bevetta and Crawford, both definately always cushin the star. Jordan, kobe is well take care of, but so was malone, stockton, Deron Williams from those, unless they met with a bigger star.

BUT I HATE VIOLET PALMER. She hates us more than anything in the world,

I would predict every team fans hate Violet

Pretty much that list and Violet Palmer.

Delany bugs me the least on that list, but he does suck. I thought nobody could piss me off more than Bavetta, but Crawford may have overtaken it last night. Boy his calls just absolutely sucked.

I love the title for this thread. It's like saying, "They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time, it works... every time."

That said, I can't stand Steve Javey. It would be interesting to see individual teams winning percentages when certain refs are on the floor. I bet the Jazz's winning percentage with Javey making the calls is significantly lower than almost any other ref. I would bet money on it.

Crawford but only when it's a home game. He is the worse anti-home court advantage ref in the league.

Palmer is just terrible.

Dicky-B is the all time champ because of his multiple debacles that cost us a championship.

I can't remember the other couple guys that really screw us hard every time...I'll have to look em up.
