Stern will take a look at this and if there was no type of discussion before hand Crawford will be suspended. Stern has gotten better over the past couple of years about holding the refs accountable for their action and not giving them a blanket “do what you want and no one can criticize you”. Crawford is already on Sterns list and if he sees this as grand standing or taking out a personal vendetta Crawford will be suspended again.

@ Lee…

that is a federal crime in this country now. Minimum of 15 years. Like assaulting an officer or school official. That dude’s in jail in Uruguay right now.

I think that was a good call–so long as Kenyon is getting tossed for his 2nd T, not for the elbow. The elbow shiver, especially if he’s been talked to about it throughout the game, been called on it, and already given a tech, then KMART shouldn’t have been surprised. The tossed elbow is a gray area tech, what would cause that to be thrown is the officials idea behind the elbows intent–whether it was intentional or incidental…and that ish looked intentional as all hell.

Also, as an official, being a dick is a part of the job. Shit, it is the job, that and never backing down. Never. Players and coaches only learn to respect you when you are resolved in every call that you make.

Joey Crawford is an ass..and has personal vendettas against players and has forever! Dude thinks he’s bigger than the game as does Bevetta(in a different way) that dude puts on a show everytime he calls traveling! But to answer what Kenyon said it kinda went like: “F you you motherf’ing B. and so on” I think K-Mart had a fight with Trina though..he seemed ticked off the whole night and in the post game interview too!

From what everyone’s saying, sounds like K-Mart deserved it. But since I didn’t see the action personally, I couldn’t say for sure.

But if he had just gotten a T for throwing bows a minute before, and the refs told him to watch it, why would he even think to push off like that? Especially with the game out of reach like that. Put it together with his history of getting techs, and with Crawford’s history of being quick to T someone up, and the fight the night before (based on the same thing, no less), and the League’s supposed crackdown/escalation of Ts called (which apparently some people on this site have forgotten about), and I don’t see what the big deal is. At all.

Sit his old ass down somewhere.He always calling bullshit and he think he’s supposed to be a star.Remember he tore his ACL running down court.(I think it was him).That was funny as hell.

if you look at the replay, varejao totally flopped and fell backwards and kenyon didnt even fully extend his arm anywhere near anderson until after he was a good foot away.
a bad call but possibly understandable. i don’t know what crawford saw
