When I think Tim Duncan, I think of a guy that’s a pretty solid scorer. A pretty good defender. I think of a guy who complains everytime he’s called for a foul. I don’t think of a guy who wants to throw ‘em up. Tim Duncan was ejected during the Dallas game, and says the referee that threw him out wants to fight him.

Even worse: Duncan is convinced official Joey Crawford is out to get him, with a brawl possibly needed to settle things.

Crawford hit Duncan with two technical fouls just 1:16 apart late in the third quarter of San Antonio’s 91-86 loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday. The second came while he was laughing on the bench and meant an automatic ejection, just the second of his nine-year career.

“He looked at me and said, ‘Do you want to fight? Do you want to fight?”‘ Duncan said. “If he wants to fight, we can fight. I don’t have any problem with him, but we can do it if he wants to. I have no reason why in the middle of a game he would yell at me, ‘Do you want to fight?”‘

Now, maybe I’m alone in this, but Tim Duncan doesn’t strike me as much of a fighter. In fact, I kind of feel his punches would be as effective as the ones KG threw. Then again, you probably don’t have to possess much punching ability if your opponent is Joey Crawford.
