Yeah, I know he's not a player, but dammit do I hate him. I mean come on Joey Crawford. Aside from being one of the worst officiators that the game has ever seen and being consistently bad, he'll dish out T's like John Stockton could dish out assists. It's funny. I feel almost certain that, even though LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, D-Wade, CP3, Chris Bosh (insert any other basketball player EVER to play in any league) is doing all the scoring, Joey Crawford thinks that people are paying x amount of money to watch him officiate. I'm sorry: LeBron James may put asses in the seats in ANY arena from Cleveland to Kathmandu, and when people see a picture of Joey Crawford, most of them either laugh or say nothing because they don't know of his ridiculous ways. From the way he winds up for offensive foul calls and travelling calls, to being overly dramatic on the oh-so-frequent technical fouls that he serves up. I mean come on! This is the guy who slapped two techs on Tim Duncan while he was laughing on the bench. HE SENT HIM TO THE SHOWERS!!! If he reacted like that every time the Cavaliers went nuts on the bench, you'd see a Cavaliers starting line-up looking something like Jawad Williams and Trey Johnson, (and we'd probably have to scour the planet to find Dajuan Wagner or Vitaly Potapenko), and Robert "Tractor" Traylor, because everyone on the Cavs' roster would be suspended for 50 games. Seriously Jo-Jo: nobody cares about you. Let the men play! Get off your knees, and stop blowing the game. Thursday, May 7, 2009
