Even more reason to like MiamiComment -
Stern's bag man is in the building.
Heat backers are doubling down.Comment -
The HEAT win this game large. Then game 7 Dan Crawford and his crew work it and again the HEAT win large. Take the Miami series price now.
Don't kid yourself that the Spurs even stand a chance. They have none. Stern wants the king to get his ring again. Dynasty!!Comment -
You just know heat fans are stupid as shit when they admit that the only reason they can win again is if stern makes it happen and not because of the quality of their teamComment -
Lebrons Playoff record with Joey Crawford officiating: 24 wins, 3 losses
Lebrons Playoff record when Joey Crawford is NOT officiating: 41 wins, 50 lossesComment -
AMAZING is about to happen everyone -- make the money how you want toComment -
Looks like they are bringing in the big guns like Joey Crawford.
Has Tim Donaghy said who he thinks is gonna win tonight?Comment -
Lol might as well activate tim donaghy to ref with joey. I predict a heat blowout (im on the spurs :s)Comment -
Crawford hasnt forgotten this.... looks like Miami is the play
Comment -
big deal. joey crawford has fouled out Lebron twice already.
if anything the Spurs are a lockComment -
The fix is officially in. Not sure how you can't pour some money on Miami tonight now.Comment -
This year, the Spurs have closed out every series on their first chance. They are playing like the more desperate team and have much more urgency than Miami. I think they take this tonight.Comment -
what are the chances the swerve is on. said in another thread, the nba knows hard money coming in on the heat due to the officials led by crawford. any chance the books clean up and the refs go the other way?Comment -
I'm getting a headache from everything swirling around from espn, to LeBrick shoes, to Bosh comments, and lastly the refs. Puzzled and numb until 9:00 pm to curse. Feel like I'm being robbed unfairly. If the Spurs win the Finals, I'll just say "F" all you Heat backers. If they don't win I'll feel robbed.Comment -
A lot of history between Crawford and Duncan/Spurs
" Duncan, who was fined $25,000 for “verbal abuse of an official” for his role in the incident, told reporters in 2007 Crawford had a “personal vendetta” against him and that Crawford asked him if he wanted to fight before the ejection. “He looked at me and said, ’Do you want to fight? Do you want to fight?”’ Duncan said. “If he wants to fight, we can fight. I don’t have any problem with him, but we can do it if he wants to. I have no reason why in the middle of a game he would yell at me, ’Do you want to fight?”
"The NBA cited “improper conduct and a lack of professionalism” in suspending Crawford for the remainder of the 2006-07 season and the entire 2007 playoffs."

I actually thought the spurs would win this game until I saw Crawford in the ref line up. Crawford imo has an axe to grind for Duncan, and the NBA loves to fuel the conspiracy theorist, and flirt with the idea of its institution fixing games. This stuff just never ceases to amaze me!!!

No home team ever won Game 6, then lost Game 7.
2-3-2 format.Comment -
don't they make the assignments weeks in advance they just don't tell the public?Comment -
As much as that stat sounds nice, it's absolutely false.
I just referenced 10 games, and the Heat are 6-4 in those games. Meaning, at the very least - the first part is off. That's not even counting all the other games.
If you want a stat with similar implications to the one above, check out Scott Foster and the James bias.
You remember Foster, right? Dude that got literally hundreds of phone calls from Tim Donaghy himself.Comment
