For Spurs, "refgate" continued thanks to Joey Crawford

[ScolaFan]

Antonio was 1-2 in those games and his credibility with the Spurs had been shot a year earlier when he shamefully challenged Tim Duncan to a fight and subsequently was socked with a suspension from the NBA.

"The bottom line is Crawford worked that game, and he hurt the Spurs, and that was a situation that should have been avoided, and worse, could have been avoided.

"The NBA made a bad decision to assign him to Spurs games because the league and Crawford can't win. If he makes questionable calls that work against the Spurs, then it lends to the appearance that, because of his past with Duncan, he has something against the Spurs. If he blows a call that works against the other team, then it lends to the appearance he's trying to execute a makeup call for the Spurs. The simple and easy thing to do is put Crawford on games that don't involve the Spurs.
