    It appears that Crawford is done as an NBA ref.

    <div class="quote_poster">Legacy Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">The referees should look up to Dick Bevveta. He is a good ref and makes the right calls 98 percent of the time. I'm just happy Stern did something right, for once.</div>

    Apparently Joey Crawford doesn't think so. From Marc Stein's blog:

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Crawford also blasted fellow referee Dick Bavetta in the e-mail obtained by ESPN.com, hinting at divisions among referees between those who do and don't support Bavetta and writing that maybe Bavetta will wind up as the crew chief in Game 7 of the NBA "which is a travesty in itself you even being in the finals."</div>

    I'm sorry, but Dick Bavetta isn't that much better as a ref... He lets games get outta control and he definitely shows favoritism to star players...

    Crawford needed to be fired, not suspended...no way any player can believe they're getting a fair shake after this...

    While we're on it, fire the other Crawford too...

    Can't say this is shocking to me. I can't believe that Crawford threw Duncan out of that game. He had no reason to toss someone sitting on the bench. Crawford had this one coming anyways. He's always had too short of a fuse and has always been a little too brash with his decisions.
