Duncan laughed!? Suspend him!
Duncan laughs off Dirk's comment

Dallas Morning News
Tim Duncan - of course - didn't bite on questions at this morning's shootaround at the AAC about what the Mavs have been mouthing off about lately.
Duncan was actually downright funny when told about Dirk Nowitzki's comments yesterday defending teammate Erick Dampier and then casually mentioning that San Antonio has a dirty player - whom Nowitzki didn't name.
"Was he talking about me?" Duncan deadpanned.
"Was he talking about Tony [Parker]?"
"You're going to have to specify who he was talking about."
A reporter mentioned Bruce Bowen, the Spurs' feisty defender with a much publicized dirty rep.
"Oh, Bruce. I didn't think about him," Duncan said. "I'll have to think about that and get back to you."
Duncan also shared his wisdom on why he's not worried about whatever adjustments the Mavs try to make in defending Parker tonight - whether they knock him on his back or not, as Dampier famously alluded to on Monday.
"Tony can take care of himself," Duncan said. "He's alright. He's a big tough guy...
"Not just scoring the ball, he's become more intelligent as a basketball player, just understanding what's available. He'll adjust accordingly to what they do tonight. If they try to take him out of the game he'll attack a different way."
Duncan laughed!? Suspend him!
It's that type of calm, cool, quiet confidence and experience that I believe will ultimately help the Spurs prevail.
When asked about Joey Crawford officiating tonight's game, Tim stopped smiling and joking and said: "I don't want to get ejected before the game starts".
I love being a Duncan fan.
Timmy is a funny dude.
Joey Crawford's vein on his forehead exploded when he read Timmy was laughing
Oh, wait, I don't want to get ejected...
You do realize that you're all playing with fire, right? If Crawford finds out that people on a Spurs message board are laughing about Tim's funny demeanor in an interview, Duncan could be ejected AND suspended, right?
Are you people TRYING to get Duncan tossed at Tip-off?
THINK, PEOPLE, THINK!!!
Hopefully the Spurs have the last laugh.
I Love this guy!! Duncan is the man!!
The best thing to do when playing against a guy like Duncan is to shut up.
The teenage girls in Dallas have got his attention now.
Bad mistake.
Even with Cuban's hand-picked ECW referee, Duncan will be very intense tonight I'm sure.
Lmao, there should be a counter on how many Crawford/Duncan jokes are on this forum.
Well...Joey Crawford is in Dallas tonight after all...
Video here.
Very funny

i can't help to think about the 2006 serie where stack was kind of trash talking a little or maybe he was laughing on the court (i can't remember exactly) and asked about it at some interview, Tim answered: "we'll see who'll be laughing at the end".
he didn't even mean it in a y way, he was just downplaying as usual all the trash talking but a lot of medias and fans were saying the serie was over now that Tim was angry and stuff like that. well, it didn't work obviously.
I just think Tim is made to be the good guy. It doesn't prevent him for playing hard on the court and be clutch, but he's just not the kind of guy to talk smack.
i'm not even sure he could get some extra motivation from opponent's trash talking. he plays hard, does his job and see what happens every time. very rare to be so motivated and quiet at the same time. great to be a fan of a team with such a leader.
The Mavs laughed last then.
TD is THE MAN.
Duncan just owned the entire Mavs organization with his comments
well, at the very end of these PO, we still laughed a little bit though.
Um, have I mentioned that I love me some Timmy Duncan? Impeccable class, every time.
effortless burn...
This is prolly what it looked like when Duncan was laughin.
