More of the NBA on the take

We all remember the Tim Donaghy scandal a few years ago, but anyone who has watched an NBA game within the last year or two (especially a playoff game) has seen their share of strange calls.

Unfortunately for the Mavs, Danny Crawford is officiating their game tonight against the Portland Trail Blazers. Why is this unfortunate? The Mavs are 2-16 in playoff games officiated by Crawford. Eight of those 16 games were lost by 10 points or less (5 of those 8 were games lost by 3 points or less).

Read the full article here. Not that I care about the Mavs, but I do watch the NBA and this really makes you wonder. If you've ever watched a C's game on Comcast Sportsnet, you know that Heinsohn feels the same way.
