Why in the hell would Joey Crawford be allowed anywhere near the court tonight?

[No coincidences]

Could the NBA make it more obvious? This guy should be on a restraining order when it comes to officiating big games, yet out of nowhere, with the Heat in do-or-die mode, here he comes.

NBA = WWE.

[Seto]

Is Joey good to the Heat though? I remember someone posting #s that the Heat actually have a poor ATS record when he does their games.

Not sure about the Heat, but I know he hates Duncan and the Spurs.

[RGG]

Heat will win tonight regardless

[thunderous]

There is a bigger conspiracy here...
The whole world is on Heat so what does NBA do?
Bring in Joey Crawford so whoever was on the fence also jumps in.
Result? Spurs win in a thrilling buzzer beater.
Screws one and all...

then they will have to get out the magnet rims. i didnt think it would be a magnet rim game already

[LT Profits]

One of my all time favorite images.

[Sam Odom]

Too much drama...

Best team on the court tonight will win

[KiDBaZkiT]

This shit is true. They got some shit in the lining of the basketball and some other stuff in the rim. Eould be so simple with technology we have nowadays and with billions at stake ehy not? You ever notice the NBA doesnt allow fans to keep lopsr balls that go into the crowd???? They always go get it back, hmmmmmm.

You know this, but the NBA doesn't?

[t-wizzle]

Everything is a fix or rigged with this guy. Quit bein so paranoid and enjoy the game.

Preach.

[moneymaker09]

Mike Callahan is the heat ref.. He holds the longest Miami Heat post season record.. Why would you bring him in this time? To extend the series.. Jewing intensifies.. Joey crawford is just to take the cake, yes he was the man who was suspended for calling duncan out to fight during a game. Lol.. The line is not nice enough though, I hope spurs go up 10 and we can get heat for even money, then i'm going all in

[t-wizzle]

I love how OP says "out of nowhere."

As if Joey Crawford doesn't routinely ref NBA Finals games EVERY YEAR.

[thetrinity]

we knew he was coming when it had potential to get dicey though 3-1 series is over

[BigDofBA]

Miami making the call to the pen.

Heat it is.

[brooks85]

because he hates tim duncan...

[labones00]

Home team has won 41% of playoff games that Crawford has refereed

[dmncnlou]

The NBA is so fukked up. Whenever Crawford refs a Spurs home game it's always against a team they would beat anyway like the Celtics or Pacers. When he refs a Spurs road game it's against the Thunder, clippers, or Heat - games they get they ass kicked.

[Menses]

But i thought the NBA was not remotely rigged...everything is on the up and up correct ? LOLOL

[Spedizzo]

Heat it is.

Lebron James has a 2.25 ERA when Joey Crawford is officiating

[Spedizzo]

Honestly though, I am a Heat hater, I rubbed it in when Spurs won the last game, and I do not feel good at all as a Spurs fan

I refuse to bet on the Heat

but I will not take the Spurs here

Will be non-degen tonight and watch the game without action on it

Is that possible for people on here though?

So you'd rather say no to money when offered instead of taking it because you dont like the giver? I dont get it.

[Sam Odom]

So NoCoin...

You are on the Heat tonight. How Much $$$

[El Sol]

Ill tell you what. If I was an owner of either team, I would rather have the most experienced and best refs officiating my game than some rookie. Theres absolutely zero proof that Crawford will throw this game for whatever side you think will win.

Now put down the crayons and go back to your Gary North book. Gambling isnt for the mentally unstable, bad things will happen

[TwoWays]

Owners want dollars, not fair officiating.

[KRIT]

I always thought it was just the gamblers who thought NBA was fixed, but it's majority of the general public. Even Adam Silver knows about hte stigma and he addressed it on Mike and Mike radio show. Just found it interesting that even the commish is aware of this.

[Pauulzcappin]

He has been reffing finals for like 10+ years IIRC

Yeah. That's what it seems like.
