    Tim Duncan's Sincere Apology Confuses Referee Enough To Eject Him From Game

    DALLAS—Baffled by Tim Duncan's unexpected sincerity in apologizing following a technical foul, NBA official Joey Crawford responded by issuing Duncan a second technical and ejecting him from the game. "I don't know what the he was trying to pull with that gentle tone of voice and that at ude of heartfelt honesty, but I wasn't about to fall for it," Crawford told reporters after being asked about reacting so strongly to Duncan's attempt at shaking hands and putting the incident behind them both. "I'm pretty sure Duncan was really saying he wanted to punch me." Following the game, Crawford was arrested for assault after attacking a concession-stand employee who gave him a free hot dog in what Crawford claims was an attempt to make him "look cheap."



    not sure if you guys've seen it before, but i needed some lighthearted after the most de able ref job of the season.

    last night was some awful officiating. the spurs still may not have won, even if the refs were perfect. it doesn't ever bother me to watch the spurs lose if they truly should have lost, but when there's iffy calls, it can only make you wonder if what could've/should've happened
