Joey Crawford's blocking call last night

[hawley]

In case you missed it, this was the best moment of the game by a long way

I see nothing?

[face]

[Br0nxer]

That's horrible

[HoulihansTX]

Such a clown

[Untied]

The guy is just rubbing the Lakers' noses in it.

[Untied]

Never seen anyone air-humping on the run like that before.

Very impressive!

[hawley]

gets me every time

It was such a bad call too.

[Untied]

Best part is when he looks right at Kobe mid-pump, as if to say; this is me bending your team over.

[Br0nxer]

That's why the NBA is so fukkin crooked

Certain refs don't like certain teams

Crawford hates the Spurs and Pop

[You mad bro]

Hawley had the lakers lmao


So mad bro

[wantitall4moi]

LOL Refs gave Lakers 50 free throws and people thought they were 'against' them?

refs did everything but put points on the board when no one was looking, thats how bad the Lakers have been this year, it was especially obvious last night.

[CHAZ]

Lakers had 43 FTA to Indys 27....

[sweep]

thats fukkin awesome!!

Having more FT attempts doesn't mean the refs are on your side. can't just throw out those #s and think you're making a point.

That don't mean shit

There are 3 refs. All 3 can have different agendas

We don't know how many of those fouls Crawford called to give the Lakers 50 FT's

NBA is fukkin fixed....Fact

[wantitall4moi]

Lakers took half a dozen in the last 45 seconds and they only had the ball twice.

[MFDoom013]

It was a very blatant charge & blown call, but they gave the Lakers a make up call and MWP missed both FTs.

Can't blame the refs for that loss as a Lakers fan or bettor.. Lakers just sucked a fat dick last night with their TOs, awful shot selection and pathetic FT shooting. I won't back those retards again. They are just a bad team with no depth.

[tony_come]

At the end of the day

White guys control the game

[Chi_archie]

what a clown

[Louisvillekid1]

@ that gif


HAHAHAHAHA

[Louisvillekid1]

woow that's fukkin great

[cubswin]

The reason the Lakers have so many FT's is because the other team will foul that piece of shit Howard ALL game , any team that gives this guy 10 mill is nuts

It's called having 2 of the top 15 ft shooters in NBA history (attempts) on your team. Does INDY even have 1 in the top 100 all time?

I win again.

[showtiime]

[alamo]

Joey is one of the best refs in league. He always explains or shows why he called something too. This is a a standard block call. Not really sure why all the fuss.

[Brock Landers]

awful call, awful game

Lakers are just terrible, can't shoot Free Throws

Howard is a fuckin clown, guy basically sucks

[CHAZ]

Having more FT attempts doesn't mean the refs are on your side. can't just throw out those #s and think you're making a point.

It doesn't make the point but it helps the argument.


Either way I don't believe refs are crooked. I think they are bias towards certain players (read Donaghys book) not teams.

[Br0nxer]

They are bias towards certain coaches more then certain players

Anyone that thinks the NBA isn't fixed doesn't have a fukkin clue. And I am not that guy that screams fix every other day

NBA.....Where amazing happens

Biggest rig going

According to his book its alittle of both. Its human nature though. No one would be able to call the perfect game and have no judgement.



"According to Donaghy, so many referees and league officials have axes to grind with various players, coaches or owners that insider knowledge can lead to an unheard of rate of sports gambling success."

[Sport_Fish]

I dnt know if anyone remembers but i believe around tht time there was also a missed basket by Indiana tht went out of bounds and the ref standing on the baseline, 2 feet frm the ball, couldnt tell who deflected it...and before he could even call a jump ball, Crawford standing way bak near mid court immediately says last touch by Lakers.

Pure clown indeed. But this game still does not top his double-T he gave to Duncan on teh bench for smiling.

It's not human nature. It's bullshit. Call the game by the book regardless of grudges or relationships with players or coaches

I don't see it happening in MLB. I don't see Tim McClelland squeezing pitchers he doesn't like. Does it happen and we don't know about it? I guess it's possible. I don't see it happening in the NFL. Refs calling roughing the QB penalties against certain guys they don't like. Will they call it on James Harrison if its borderline. Yes....But that's because of his track record. I don't see personal relationships coming into play

There is no reason for it in the NBA. It's bullshit

[CanuckG]

Yeah it's bullshit but nothing will change. All about the $$$$

Why did Stern risk Miami falling 3-2 at 2 different points in 2 different series' last year if nba is rigged? only taking a career game from dwayne wade in one of them and a career game from lebron in the other to get to a game 7. if it was rigged nba's golden boy should have had a clear easy path to the finals. if bron doesn't unleash against boston game 6 (not at the free throw line, jumper after jumper), he is sitting home right now with 0 rings.
