It seems like every time he is the lead ref that the mavs lose. Is it a coincidence or is he that biased against the mavs?

I think it's pretty much impossible that it's coincidence. It could be that we just don't play the right style of play to do well under his reffing, but there most certainly is an association between him reffing our games and us losing.

Hes always quick to give anybody a rejection. Stop complaining about the NBA screwing the mavs over. First its the Finals, now this sh*t.
You don't watch all the games he refs against the mavs so you wouldn't know if he was biased. Most mavs fans would agree with me that he is biased against the mavs. Maybe it is Mark Cuban or Avery Johnson but for some reason he is against the mavs whether it is a home game or a road game.
I love it when people who don't know sh*t about what they're talking about but have a strong opinion on it. Your bias against the mavs is blinding you of understanding what is going on with this ref. It is not just the finals that this guy has been unfair. It goes back for a long time. I started keeping track when I noticed how bad the refs were in game 6 of the rockets series and than I found out how bad the mavs record was with Dan Crawford as the lead ref.
This is one instance I actually agree with mavsfan on. Dan Crawford and the Mavericks just don't work out, I remember stating a stat during the playoffs last year indicating our record when he refs a Maverick playoff game. We lost every one. Also, last night showed a key moment of what it's like when Dan refs our game. He completely ignored a obvious timeout call by Del Harris as time expired. New rules say coaches can call a time out this season, Dan Crawford ignored a shouting Del Harris that could be heard by the announcers further away. Doesn't make much sense.
