It is playoff Basketball Timmy. I hope this does not sway the referees with Duncan complaining through the media

It has been pretty physical, other side of the coin Bogut has picked up his fair share of soft/phantom calls.

Duncan has always been a whinger and I am a fan of the Spurs, but his staring at the refs and falling over get annoying. he also gets away with a lot of cheap stuff like grabbing and holding a players jersey etc. Its good to see Bogut battling its the playoffs, I would think Bogut has been firm but fair.

That's soft but the spurs like to use the media as a means of playing games with the opposition.
Timmy is just trying to get some calls in the next game. Happens from somebody every playoffs.
19 and 10 in the playoffs. He's done?
I don't even like the Spurs, but I think Duncan has some extra brownie points under his wing than Bogut.

I'm just pumped Bogut is playing on this team in this situation. Loving these 18 - 20 rebound games he's putting up, showing real heart on the defensive end and getting a few poster dunks along the way.
We should all be proud for Bogut and jumping on Golden States Bandwagon (unless your teams still competing) lets hope they steal game 5

Yeah, just Duncan working the refs a bit. Both sides are getting away with some holds and stuff, but its hardly been a real physical series.
Bogut's done a good job so far in the playoffs, but its obvious he still isn't as fit as he should be. Lets hope he has an injury free off-season and can build up his stamina and mobility a bit more. Then if he can start making 60% of his FT's he'll be a force to be reckoned with!

So there's complaints about physicality in the NBL and now the epitome of why I hate the Spurs is having a bitch at An Australian ?
... Seriously why ?
Miami v Chicago.
That's physical. Glass of concrete for TD please.

I believe Andrew Bogut was asked once, what he believed the letters NBA stood for...
His answer, 'No boys allowed'.
Kind of says where he is at, compared with Duncan, maybe??
Just a ploy by Duncan to get some soft calls, for sure!
