Not really sure on this one.

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".

Doubtful - but, I think Duncan may have been trying to work the media in advance. That way, if the Spurs lose on "questionable calls," the fanboy monkeys will already have the "the refs are all picking on us 'cause of Joey Crawford!" conspiracy theory ready to go.
