Ref Joey Crawford just ruined this OKC MEM game

Defying · Apr 30, 2014

anyone hear that

Defying · Apr 30, 2014

OKC down 1 with 30 secs left. he takes the ball and goes NUTS on the scoreboard table.... Screaming at top of his lungs... "LISTEN TO ME"

the delay throws off KD and misses FT

after KD misses.. mic picks up.. Crawford screaming IF I TELL YOU DO DO SOMETHING YOU DO IT!"

A mans ego got in the way of this one

Sorry Defying, with the game/series Durant has had I don't think I'm giving him that for an excuse for missing the FT....

it wasnt subtle, Durant was just starting his FT form, Crawford goes in waiving his hands and takes ball from KD... it 100% iced him

It wasn't the best reffing but your Kevin Durant you gotta knock that down regardless I think.

Crawford always been an idiot though I agree

maybe bitter because i had a large bet on the ML

Crawford didn't miss the FT. He's an idiot though.

It's all about him and always has but Memphis deserved the win. They were the better team

Defying · Apr 30, 2014

I believe he increased the chances of it being missed.

youre not wrong there.

OKC plays too much one on one basketball.

Durant might be the first MVP since Dirk to win the award when he is out of the playoffs. That is always fun....

SECplayer · Apr 30, 2014

OKC caught a huge break earlier because of Crawford. Loose ball rebound went off Durant and the closest ref ruled it immediately. Crawford rushed in and overruled him without so much as a conference. Review showed it was off Durant. It was a crucial possession.

Insane series.

I think a math guy would tell you the chances of him missing that foul shot neither increased or decreased based on Crawford's actions.

True, he'll probably win it after losing in the first round. But Brooks has to be asking himself if it was really worth it playing KD all of those minutes during the regular season. These playoffs are showing that KD has little left in the tank.

Yeah, all the more reason LeBron deserves all the credit he gets. Has played more mins before his 30th birthday than anyone all time, by a lot.

No sports has more constant discussion about the officials every game every night..

HacheMan · Apr 30, 2014

Crawford definitely has issues.

Remember him being suspended years ago for wanting to fight Tim Duncan?

the best was when the league had Crawford (who has well known issues/bias against the spurs)officiate an elimination game for the spurs to ensure they didnt make finals.

Yes but the human in all of us tells us it made a difference. And I'm on your side on this. He should have still made it.
But anyone who's been to the line in that situation would also tell you it made a difference.
