This title is very misleading

the 2-16 refers to them beating the spread, not winning games.

They have a much better than 2-16 record with crawford in the game.

2-16 is their actual record; they're 4-14 against the spread in that same period.  This is all in the link.

The OP only used what was said in the article:

The Mavs have a 2-16 record in playoff games officiated by Crawford, including 16 losses in the last 17 games.

How is that misleading?

Hahaha, just make sure to wash up BEFORE you use the bathroom.  Learned that one the hard way once or twice.

As for the article, looks like Doc's not the only one with a Danny Crawford problem.

A very good chance that Cuban loses 35-50K tonight.

As of right now I'd say the Mavs are the second most hated team by refs (although it's close).  I remember reading somewhere that the refs have been known to call games based on their feelings towards the teams' owner, and that Wyc and Cuban were the two most hated owners.

It's funny when you look how much the refs love to blow the whistle for top teams like the Lakers, Heat, Bulls, even the Magic sometimes.  But then watch the Celts or the Mavs and not only do they get nothing close to the favoritism those other teams get, but they are often treated worse than the worst teams in the league, especially at the end of games.

If you really want to give the most popular players in the league every single call they want go ahead, we'll play with that handicap, but don't be screwing us when it comes to the most basic calls.

I wonder why Wyc is hated by the officials? He rarely if ever says anything in the press about them. Is it because he barks from his courtside seats?

That's pretty sad if whistles are swallowed because of who a team is owned by, Cuban included.

Just out of curiosity, which is the first?
