Man… Joey Crawford really loves the spotlight.  You never know when or where he’s suddenly going to feel the need to be seen and heard in a game. Last night was a doozy.  With the Lakers and Pacers tied at 74, David West drove and ran straight into Chris Duhon.  Joey Crawford saw it as [...]

Remember Christmas… when the Celtics lost to the New York Knicks by two points?  Remember how the referees called SIX technical fouls, thanks in no small part to Mr. Happy Whistle Joey Crawford?   Well… guess what?  The league says Joey was a little overzealous. Rivers added that two of the three technical fouls assessed [...]

I often wonder what opposing teams, their beat reporters and bloggers are saying about the Celtics after playing the Celtics. Here's a dose of 'enemy chatter' from New York. The Celtics also imploded emotionally. Referee Joey Crawford, who himself has a quick trigger, called fourth-quarter technical fouls on O'Neal and Pavlovic. Allen, who scored 20, rushed [...]

Doc Rivers had this to say about the two hideous 4th quarter technical fouls issued by Joey Crawford: “Fourth-quarter technicals on our team are not allowed,’’ Rivers said. “That being said, the game has to be about the players. All right? I mean, c’mon. I thought both teams were complaining just the same, and we [...]

Kevin Garnett is one of the most interestingly photographed athletes in the world.  Every week, we share some of the most interesting shots here… with our own interpretations. "OH MY GOD… Hey Kobe… have you seen your 4th quarter shot chart?" KG immediately went to HR to file an "uncomfortable work environment" complaint against Luke [...]

Doc apparently didn't leave the floor fast enough for the NBA, so dipped into his wallet and pulled out $15,000. To me, it was worth it just so the world could see Doc tell Steve Javie "It's not about you, it's about the game."  I wonder if he'll have to tell Joey Crawford the same [...]

It's entirely possible the Celtics weren't going to win this anyway… It's entirely possible the Magic, who came out strong, drained a lot of big 3's, and suddenly looked a lot more like the Magic team that stomped through the first 2 rounds, would have held on no matter what. But this is one of [...]

This, dear friends, is the worst call in the history of basketball.  And it comes as absolutely zero shock that Joey Crawford is not only involved… but is ADAMANT about the call. [...]

It's Thanksgiving and that means it's time for unoriginal columns/blogs like this one. 5. Nate Robinson – Aside from their lack of defense, Nate's three-point heave at the other team's basket perfectly captures the dysfunction that is the Knicks. 4. Joey Crawford – This notorious referee made this list the night he slapped Doc Rivers [...]
