Ludden: NBA talks to Spurs' Duncan about role in ejection

[ambchang]

As not a.

He gets more touch fouls than any big man I have ever seen, it is a joke.

If Shaq went to the line on the same touch fouls Duncan gets, he would shoot 40 ft's a game. And I say that as a guy who can't stand Shaq.

Never mind the fact that Duncan is only shooting 7.1 FTA this year, less than Shaq with far more FGA and minutes, never mind that he is one of the best inside players, and is getting less FTAs than Michael Redd, Wade, Kobe and Gilbert Arenas, all perimeter players, or 3rd tier level players like Eddy Curry and Andre Igoudala.
When you go out and try to spew crap, do yourself a favour and at least look at the numbers, rather than go about and state your opinions as facts.
Out of interest, how many Spurs games have you watched this year? More importantly, did you watch the Mav-Spurs game where Duncan was ejected?

To be fair to LakerLanny, I'm certain that he's talking about past years and not this year.

IIRC, LL is talking mostly about things like the 2003 WCSF series.

I call complete BS on your existence. You're a troll.

Sorry, I meant the Olympics when he cried all the time but didn't have the NBA refs to save the day.

Hey, was Joey "The Gnome" Crawford out of line? Sure he was. But you are kidding yourselves if you don't think Tim Duncan is one of the most referee coddled, ref dependent players in the league today.

He is like a kid. You spoil them rotten (in my kid's case with toys, in Tim's with calls in his favor) and instead of appreciating it, they just want more!

Right, he is the only NBA player that played badly in the olympics. And that happened because there were no refs to help him. /NOT
In the NBA, Kobe is at least as "spoiled" as Tim.

It's good to know that without officials, Tim Duncan wouldn't have 3 les, 3 Finals MVPs, 2 MVPs, multiple First Team All-NBA and First Team All-Defense awards. I'm curious what portion of his resume is official-created, though. Quan atively, of course.

Double owned.

Duncan shouldn't have been on the Olympic team anyway, he isn't American.

That said, you will see Kobe lead the USA to gold despite whatever the refs do in the next Olympics.

To say Kobe is coddled when he is being suspended on plays where no foul is even called is past ludicrous. Stick to football Tex.
