Just a Heads-Up (Mavs-Blazers, Danny Crawford)

[thadchr]

A lot of you might have saw the stat today (Around the Horn, PTI, elsewhere) that the Mav's official website (almost no doubt curtesy of Mark Cuban) released the stat the Dallas is 2-16 in playoff games reffed by Danny Crawford, despite an overall winning playoff record since Cuban bought the team.

I went and checked "Personal Foul" (Tim Donaghy's 2009 book shortly the whole betting scandal), and found:

(page 108)

Referee Danny Crawford also had little affection for Mark Cuban, and bragged that since 2001, the Maverick's were 1-15 when he worked their playoff games. One more tidbit of information for my mental rolodex of referees to watch when making my picks.

Obviously, you can make what you will of Donaghy's credibility, etc. Just thought that, as a capper, this was some information worth sharing. I'm not saying bet the Blazers, I'm just saying...
