Did you guys see what Joey Crawford did tonight?

Even when faced with a clear view on replay, this dude has the balls to make the wrong call.

WOW

And the game just happens to be right on the number (the last number of a point-and-a-half line move).

Just so you know, I'm not complaining cause this worked out perfect for me - I had an action play on Orl +3.5, and then decided to get off that bet by taking Pho -2.5


Also, did you see what Galinari did to that total?
Up 14 with 15 secs left he shot a three (not Kosher, rook) and it banked in !

Right call in the ORL game should have been ORL ball with 0.5 seconds left on the clock. Instead of that it was a jumpball with 1.7 seconds (?) on the clock.
I'd say the chances of the change in score would be very difficult in either situation.
Matt Barnes shouldn't have let the ball run out in the first place.

Didn't notice anything "suspicious" in the Knicks game either. A lot of teams would take a shot in that situation. There was still time for one more possession.

And now for something completely different.

Have y'all seen Jersey Shore on MTV?
I have the intro show on my DVR, and it took me 2+ hours this afternoon just to watch the first 20 minutes !

I have to pause it cause my sides hurt, and then I keep rewinding in order to relive such gems as :

one of the musclebound dudes starts talking about how many girls he's going to get that summer, and then (in a great Joisey accent) he procedes to tell us how easy it is gonna be for him to get them - "Yo, I don't even gotta do much. I just take off my shirt and they swarm around me; just like flies to shit."

:142smilie

Can I please be there when somebody explains to him what an analogy is.

Not saying the Knick game was suspicious - just that it's bad form to shoot a 3 in that spot; and then it fluked-in off the backboard to ruin a lot of people's under.

As for Joey, I was so shocked about the call to re-jump, that I didn't check what the time should have been. However, even .5 secs is enough time to catch and shoot. Asking Pietrus to outjump Amare; then have Orl recover the tip and pass it back to a teammate behind the 3pt line; and then knock down that shot - all in 1.7 secs, is a much more daunting task.

nice card Joe V
... and to think some fool was in here earlier bashing this thread. I hope he rethinks his position when he's cashing all these winners.

Personally don't believe in Fixed Games, however, if anyone saw the 60 mins unterview LW with that NBA official, it was very insightful how he used his 'inside info' re: the refs relationships with the players as his primary capping tool. I know this is way :topic: - but wud be curious to know if any of our 'group' have used this type info and if it is in any manner available - kinda like O/U umps in BBall - but, of course very different at the same time.
