So as much as I think we got screwed in game 3, I’ve become really tired of all the fire and brimstone regarding the officials over the past few days

BUT!  I figure why not have some fun with it.

So, who is your all time bad boy NBA ref crew, present or retired refs,  a crew where you know we would have no chance.  I’m sure people are gonna jump on the Brothers, Foster, Davis train, but before doing so just remember the absolute gems we had back in the Pierce era.

Also, a bonus, what referees if any, do you feel like we’d get a fair shake from.  The good guys if you will.

Here’s my bad boy crew.

Dick Bavetta:  if you’re playing a team with any of the NBAs marquee players, you have little to no chance.

Kenny Mauer:  looked like a used car salesman with his slicked back hair.  Always seemed like he reffed with emotion, get under his skin and he’ll bury you

Tony Brothers:  his record officiating Celtics games in the playoffs speaks for itself, but last night lightens the blow

Bennett Salvatore:  Always made some of the most awful unexplainable calls and it always seemed like they were on Pierce back in the day.  Always felt like he hated him

Honorable Mention:  Scott Foster:  obviously shady with the link to Donoghy.  Has had shady games, but who knows depending on who he bet on, you might have a chance!!




Good guys:  Steve Javie(sp?) -  he’s had his bad moments but he never seemed to bother me

Dan Crawford:  I’m sure some will disagree but I never had much of a problem with him

Joey Crawford remains the worst.

These refs being called "bad boys" is like someone's mom calling their son handsome or badass.

Love em or hate em, the Detroit Bad Boys own that nickname.

only ref that ever really stood out as a top official that gave a fair shake, especially for road teams, was Earl Strom.
