Crawford puts too much emphasis on his bad call

To me the clear call was a charge but Crawford looked way to happy calling a blocking foul on the Lakers.

He made sure to make his call about 24ft from out of bounds to the three point line. What an ***!

Does he have something against the Lakers? Seems so sometimes.

He scares me for some reason.....

Some day I think he's gonna walk to center court and start babbling something like, "this is my whistle......." And then pull out a gun and blow his brains out

[amos1er]

He is a piece of ****.

[Tytanium 24]

He's a joke.

[LAKobeBryant]

He knows he made a mistake that's why he called over the back on MWP

[8kobe24]

Ask Tim Duncan, he'll tell you...

his wife loves kobe's err skills

I don't know. He was pretty animated with the call for it to be a mistake.

I don't think he has it in for the Lakers. He's just a bad ref on a power trip who routinely lets his emotions get the best of him. I'm pretty sure if he didn't end up become a referee, he would have been a police officer (most likely highway patrol)...it was going to be one or the other no matter what. That call was hilarious though, and he seemed genuinely excited to make it.

Actually, Joey is one of the better ones. At least he seems more resistant to the league's obvious 'agenda' than many of the other officials do ...

Of course, those comments in and of themselves say a lot about the state of affairs that is the NBA ...

Wouldn't be surprised if he bets on games. Hes a sheister.

He sure acted like he had money riding on this game. I believe that he, and he alone, called three technicals during this game. Who stops a clear fast break to call a technical? I guess the same douche who challenges Tim Duncan to a fight. There were horrible calls and non-calls through out.

I didn't even watch the video but I remember the game and call, he looked like he was doing high knees while blowing the whistle lol

He really isn't , he's just one of the most recognized due to his alleged hatred of the Spurs

If you do not know by now Crawford is a crook. He fixes games. If you think he just made a mistake on an obvious call think again. He is calculated & knows what he is doing.
