Why are people bitching over Joey reffing tonight?

Tightly reffed games always favor the better team. It removes the physical element from the game. I expect a lot less physical play with Carmelo tonight.

Whatever. No excuses for losing tonight.

Joey Crawford reffed games always favor the team Joey Crawford wants to win.

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.

He should also hate Boston then

[Doc Rivers] On Lakers-Celtics 2010 final:

"Number one you gotta congratulate them because they won. They still have not beaten our starting five. Our starting five against the Lakers starting five has a ring. Tell him don't forget that. We will be back strong and Perk (Kendrick Perkins) will be there next year if there's a game seven."

C'mon Doc. SMH. Im losing more and more respect for you. Dont let losing compromise your integrity.

Maybe he hates both teams and will call a foul every play. 4 hour game that is 2 on 2 by the end.

Not according to Tim Donaghy

Besides, every scenario ends in a Knick loss in your mind :lol:

It's funny how Joey Crawford strikes more fear into our hearts than anyone on the Celtic roster

Under/Over 4 Technicals called tonight?

Probably one of the only refs who is basically prepared for just as a star player. Woody probably will spent more time talking about how to limit Joey than limiting Jordan Crawford

If crawford wants the spotlight he will hand the victory to the knicks himself. Extending this series because of himself doesn't do nearly as well for his notoriety.

I was thinking the same thing

I would trade Gallo, Wilson, Mozzy and a 1st for Joey Crawford's preference.

Dunno if anyone just heard Stephen A's monologue but god damn that was amazing. Wish the Knicks team could hear him say this to them.

Eh, I'm leery of him, but I don't think he will really affect us.

No amount of KG moving screens can beat us. As long as both Melo and JR don't get into chronic foul trouble, we're fine.

On the other hand, he's taking Doc's side on the 'JR excuse' story. The guy swings back and forth between brilliance and hackdom.
