:stopitslime: YOU stop it



Steph throws his mouthpiece at a ref crying about a no-call. Nothing happens. Draymond hits a ref in the arm while yelling about a call, makes him bleed. Nothing happens. Livingston goes head to head with a ref complaining about a call and finally gets ejected. Ref immediately suspended for a week. :dead:

Remember Sheed getting ejected for just looking at a ref? :skip: How bout Duncan getting tossed for laughing on the bench? Dont tell me its suddenly open season on officials either cause they've been testier than ever.

Oh yeah, as a general policy, the NBA does not publicly announce any disciplinary action taken against NBA officials. Except for this one time when it's the top headline on NBA.com.

Is that why the Warriors are 21st in free throw attempts per game this season?

That 'genda is VERY clear.

NBA.com - NBA Referee Joey Crawford Suspended
NBA referee Joey Crawford has been indefinitely suspended for improper conduct toward Tim Duncan during the San Antonio Spurs at Dallas Mavericks game on April 15, it was announced today by NBA Commissioner David Stern. The conduct included Crawford's assessment of a second technical foul and ejection of Duncan following laughter by the player while he was seated on the bench, and inappropriate comments made to Duncan during the game.

Crawford's suspension will cover at least the remainder of the 2006-07 season, including the NBA Playoffs and Finals.

"Joey Crawford's handling of this situation failed to meet the standards of professionalism and game management we expect of NBA referees," said Stern. "Especially in light of similar prior acts by this official, a significant suspension is warranted. Although Joey is consistently rated as one of our top referees, he must be held accountable for his actions on the floor, and we will have further discussions with him following the season to be sure he understands his responsibilities."

The incidents occurred with 1:04 remaining in the third period of the Mavericks 91-86 win over the Spurs on Sunday, April 8 at American Airlines Cent

Whether or not he deserved it, most refs never get what they deserve. It's been clear that the Warriors are the most protected team in the NBA for a minute now.

Looking like early 2000s Lakers out there. :hubie:

That's cause they shoot jump shots 70% of the time and never give their center the ball. :skip:

Klay and Curry's average shot distance is 18 feet from the hoop, even Durant/Draymond/Iggy average about 15 feet from the hoop.

Golden States' TOP threat who actually lives in the key gets 4 shot attempts a game. :comeon:

Warrior stans literally think the Warriors should get calls just by being on the court. They see Curry fall down on every shot and Durant flay those skinny arms looking to get bailed out and think that should be enough. :mjgrin:

Nobody that watched Warriors games believe refs give them preferential treatment. If that's the case Steph wouldn't be in foul trouble every game and the Warriors wouldn't lead the league in technicals.

That's bullshyt, Steph ain't in "foul trouble every game", he averages 2 fukking fouls a game. :dwillhuh: He do get in foul trouble now and then, but it because teams are targeting him on switches on one possession after another cause they have to duck Klay, Draymond, and Durant.

And we all know why the Warriors lead the league in technicals. :usure:

Curry shooting more free throws than Bron this year, on fewer shots, even though Curry's average shot is 18 feet from the hoop and Bron's average shot is 10 feet from the hoop, even though Lebron tends to draw more contact, and even though it is FAR easier to block Curry's shot without fouling than it is to block Lebron. Please explain.

breh..... honestly, it looks like the ref caused it

yea Liv went up to him, but the ref literally gets closer and sort of pushes his head against him :dame:
The ref initiated the contact all the way. Livingston almost never argues. When fakkit Scott Foster ejected him for some bullshyt last year, I think that was his first career ejection.

We can agree to disagree. No way the refs help the Warriors at all.

I think the term headbut needs to be removed from the dialogue since headbuts hurt people, these two touched heads. Livingston deserved to be tossed, but a T would have been fine too. Him clapping in the refs face is what sparked it, the ref didn't like that shyt and basically stepped to him without being threatening which is where the nba is like :whoa:

Courtney is a real nikka, probably the Realest to ever do it :smugfavre:
