Duncan will miss tonight’s game vs. the Los Angeles Clippers at STAPLES Center</div> You naughty boy The fact It's against the Clippers doesn't make it as bad.Me saying this they will lose now and they do!!
i didnt see it but why would u push a ref...i think the clips have a legit shot at winning this now the spurs have been losing lately to the lakers and golden state and they lost to denver if q rich and c maggz can hit their shots i think they can win it
I am really Suprised by this! Duncan knows not to do that. Duncan is a Vet. and he knows he is going to be suspeneded(S.P)!
NO! NO! NO! The reft got in Tim's way on the court while Tim was trying to get in position playing some defense. This is how bad rumors start. He did NOT do it unpurpose.
I didn't see it but it could not have been that bad being that he didn't get ejected for it. Do you guys really think TD would intentionally push a ref to the floor?
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Rudeezy:</div><div class="quote_post">Do you guys really think TD would intentionally push a ref to the floor?</div> Not a chance.He just isn't like that.Duncan might be the only player left who actually helps others up when they fall to the ground.He is a class act on and off the court.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting allnet:</div><div class="quote_post"> He is a class act on and off the court.</div> True. I don't like Duncan as a player, because he is the Lakers' nemisis, but I have heard good reports off the court. No matter how big of a Tinman he is, at least he is a decent guy. Anways, I only caught a glimpse of the incident, and it looked like Timmy may have actually used both hands and pushed the ref forwards. Tough to say, but even if he just bumped him, the league wants to keep a good image and they will automatically suspend a player usually--yes, even commish Stern's henchmen.
It had to have been an accident. Hey, why not suspend the ref for getting in Duncan's way? That would sure show him...
The NBA has to lighten up a little! If the ref dint ejected then there is nothing wrong with it! Basketball is a contact sports and of course people are going to be someone on there butt all the time!
He pushed him but it was in the heat of battle. The ref was in the way and Tim might have pushed him a little too hard but that is expected. I think the ref was more embarrassed than anything else.
Woah. I'm sure he just meant to move him aside. But he's a big man so the ref almost flew off the ground.
I have saw it a billion time now on all the sports channels, and Tim did give a little bit of something behind those hands. But again, WTF was the ref doing in the middle of the court? He looks like he got lost out there and had no clue where he was.
