    While reading the posts regarding Crawford vs. Duncan, it seems like there is a lot of "It's about damned time, because Duncan is a whiner.", with responses in the realm of "Well, X player from another team is a whiner too!"
    First off, let me say that this is logic at it's crappiest. First off, just because Duncan is a whiner doesn't make it justified for him to be ejected for laughing on the bench. Would you convict a known murderer for hanging out in a bar? Fact is Duncan does not deserved to be ejected based on the call.
    Second, just because another player is a whiner doesn't mean that Duncan isn't, it just shows that the entire league does it, and Duncan is basically living the norm.
    While there is no way of saying who whines more, I would love to know WHY the players whine. Is it because whining got them more calls and give them an advantage in the game? I would strongly suspect so, and if that is the root cause, the onus is on the league to bring referring standards up to par, not the players.

    Duncan wasn't just laughing. He was laughing his ass off and trying to piss off Crawford. Ah spurs fans don't get it. I'm giving up on this topic.

    Whining is the only thing Duncan can be faulted for. And his free throw percentage.
    I'll take that over the bull some other players can put out.

    Actually he was an accused rapist. No case was proven against him. Im surprised you didn't hear about that, it was all over the internet.
