Joey Crawford Reinstated

[nowagimp]

exactly. I'm tired of joey crawford. I was watching that mavs/spurs game and that was B.S. that duncan got kicked out. he was sitting on the bench laughing with his teammates, wasn't even looking at crawford. I hate the spurs and I can see how wrong that was. What would you guys think if that were amare(i'm not talking to you gaddabout). Imagine amare getting tossed from a rival game because he was laughing on the bench. I don't think you would be singing the same song then. heck i know you guys wouldn't be singing the same song just based on what happened last season in the playoffs.

When amare complains about calls he gets T'd up and tossed, check his disqualifications last year. Duncan complains all the time, with his innocent little boy act, and almost never gets tossed. i dont think there is another players in the NBA who complains more about the officiating, except perhaps Rasheed, who pays for it in disqualifications. If it had been amare, he'd have already been gone. In my view the only thing crawford did wrong is toss him while he was on the bench, he should have done it while he was on the floor.

you shouldn't get tossed for complaining unless you accumulate 2 techs. he accumulated one. unless you lose control or something like Sheed does. many of his are 2 tech ejections though too. I don't know what amare's issues are. I have no problem with TD getting tossed for complaining. as long as it's fair. crawford was not fair. If he would of done it on the court.....i'd have no problem. he let's his emotion get the best of him. my point in bringing up amare was that if he got tossed from the bench like TD did....you guys would be upset. and rightfully so.

If that would of happened, we wouldn't be having this stupid debate. I agree 100% That's why crawford is questionable.

I am sickened at players lobbying refs about foul calls, it frigin politics and shouldnt be allowed to be done continuously as duncan and some of the other spurs(not parker) like manu and horry do. I believe that players that prolong this whining should be given techs, and 2 techs gets an ejection. Unfortunately, when you allow players to lobby, some are whistled for techs and some like duncan arent. Duncan is always complaining about foul calls even when its a blatant hack, whistle him up and sit him down. He shows up the refs with his bug eyes and holding his arms out palms up all the time and then the next foul call maybe isnt made. Superstars can intimidate refs in this way and influence foul calls as their value to the NBA is percieved as greater than the refs by the NBA office. The NBA needs to get rid of it. Amare thinks he can get the same calls as duncan so he does it and loses his cool a little when they shut him down, so he gets T'd. Being a basketball player shouldnt require lobbying skills, get rid of the crap, it shouldnt be like politics. Lorenzo, I'd think you would understand as Dirk certainly has no lobbying skills. Why should he get less calls than Duncan because he doesnt know how to whine properly.

Id take counseling before I apologize for something I did. Big difference imo.

Either way, Im sure he will be just fine this upcoming season.

Yep, I had a huge fight with my wife for accusing me of something that I didn't do. That is probably my biggest pet peeve.
