Who's worse: Joey Crawford or TNT's commentators?

—

WCBias.com throws them all under the bus with this commentary about the end of the Spurs-Lakers game Tuesday. Crawford blew it with the no call on a clear foul by Fisher. TNT blew it by saying: 1. The Crawford-Spurs rift isn't a story before the game. 2. By not realizing the L.A. shot clock hadn't reset late. 3. And by failing to say if the Spurs were in the bonus on the final possession.

Lakers Blow The Final Whistle
LABallTalk.com — ... . Another interesting article came up at The West Coast Bias Sports Blog stating the following, “You know if Kobe made that pump fake, he would’ve got the call. Heck, RK’s boy Sasha Vujacic got the same call on a three-pointer toward the end of the third quarter.” I’ve got news for you, Brent Barry didn’t make the pump fake, he wasn’t in the motion of shooting when Fisher bumped him, Sasha Vujacic didn’t sell anything because he was hit as the ball left his hands, and Kobe Bryant didnt get a single call for 4 quarters. Don’t be so biased Mr. Biased Sports Blogger, Kobe Bryant ...
