That site tracks homer refs. It's a betting site, so the criteria is against the spread, but Miami is -2. Willard and Crawford are the 2 worst refs in the league for the Celtics tonight.  And we all know Kennedy sucks.

Joey Crawford usually likes to make the game about him not the players and does that by seeing obvious calls differently..the Joey Crawford way.  But he is also a strong homer..so who knows??  Would be nice to have predictable consistent refs but it is what it is.

You guys are the only ones who have made this game about the refs so far.

Terrific...

well the heat have nothing to complain about, seeing as how the refs handed them game 2, and lebron and wade are Sterns's darlings, so I wouldn't expect them to make it about the refs.

I expect both James and Wade to get to the line at least 10 times each. Especially  after Wade didn't shoot any free throws in game 3 .

Hopefully they call it even both ways though..

expect a lot of bogus fouls against us tonight. fantastic...

I checked out games that Joe Crawford worked Celtic games a few years ago and found that Celtics lost 80% of games he worked ! I also noticed that on those games there was a above average amount of technical's which he made and almost 60% of those were recinded by the NBA. The NBA needs to do what the NFL & NHL does which is rate the refs. Poorly rated refs do not call playoff games. Joe Crawford needs to retire !

[RebusRankin]

What a joke.

[Celtics4ever]

These guys are both clowns who would not have jobs in any other field because of incompetence.

[P2]

Stop crying! I don't care about the refs at all! We win if we are the better team.

[wiley]

Expect a game of stoppages with no flow whatsover.
Joey likes his rest....

[LooseCannon]

But if the Celtics make it to the NBA Finals and play the Spurs, we want Joey Crawford reffing, right?

Even ESPN's Brad Daugherty says we're going against the refs tonight.

I do not believe in conspiracies..but I do believe in star power,  players reputations (as to abilities and tendencies) influencing refs, make up calls, personal interpretations by refs, refs with bad habits and also the egos of some of the refs getting in the way of their job performance.

I consider Joey Crawford extremely egotistical, inconsistent, sometimes biased and therefore unreliable when it comes to being fair and impartial.

Stern should issue a flagrant 2 foul on Joey Crawford and suspend him for as long as Ron Artest wants to be called Metta World Peace.
