HammerTime Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 No the right thing to do IMO. This only punishes teams in the playoffs not having a quality ref like him to do some games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greendevil Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 He was obviously an ego maniac... he took his power for granted and should have been sat down... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammerTime Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 And then they fine Duncan for verbal abuse. That makes a lot of sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickymitts Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Good for him, I'm sure it was difficult trying to officiate all those games AND trying to tape the new season of The Shield... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he can do the same thing in the post season and really hurt a team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammerTime Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 So he can do the same thing in the post season and really hurt a team? You act like he has a horrible history of doing that. He is quick to pull the trigger on a T but they should keep their mouth shut to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HammerTime Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Duncan didn't say a word. Twice... It was a messed up incident for sure but I don't think they should have done that. Oh well not that big of a deal. And he was talking during the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpapa Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Good for him, I'm sure it was difficult trying to officiate all those games AND trying to tape the new season of The Shield... At least he has those Fantastic Four royalty checks to tide him over until next season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HHSDawgs1424 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 1) Duncan did admit to cussing at Crawfor...but this occurred on his way out right before he turned to go in to the locker room. 2) The commish stated that Crawford has had issues in the past which is why he had to take action this time. IMO this was the right thing to do. If you watch the film, Duncan was doing nothing but laughing at a call...ON THE BENCH. Crawford got his feeling hurt so he took action. David Stern even said that it was unnecessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youknowme Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Never did like the guy. He's a bigger egomaniac than the players are. See ya next season Joey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youknowme Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Will the other NBA refs call "against" the Spurs during the playoffs because of this?? If it was Smush Parker instead of Duncan, would we be having this dicussion?? Crawford carries a grudge & there is no way someone can ref accuratly like that. Joey through a FAN out of an arena earlier this season. This Isn't High School basketball. It's the NBA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
