I have 2 questions:
1. Does anybody really believe Duncan was NOT behind Crawford's suspension/firing? Not an out-right demand, maybe something as innocent as "Geeze Mr Stern, I really don't feel I'll get a fair shake with that guy working my games ever again".
I may find this interesting.
2. Does anybody really doubt at some point in the playoffs, on some play, a close but defendable call will be made that hurts Duncan & his team in a critical sitch? Not an obvious f-you call, maybe something as innocent as "Geeze that was close...let's give this one to the other guys".
I don't believe this will happen.
