I didn't know Duncan was such a whiner...

I don't usually bash non-Lakers opponents, but I can't help this...

This whole series, the Spurs team has seemed like a bunch of whiners, led by Ginobili and to a lesser extent, Parker. But I've been most surprised to see what a crybaby Duncan has become, considering that I used to think he was one of the classiest players in the league.

Every time Duncan gets a foul called on him, he gets this sourpuss look on his face and throws his hands up like "how could you call a foul on ME????" And then he proceeds to argue the entire time with the officials.

Is this new behavior on his part? Has Ginobili rubbed off on him? Or have I just been missing this his whole career?

Nothing new at all! After having played the Spurs in the playoffs for 5 years...seeing this is old hat. You guys just haven't had the "pleasure" of Timmy Pumpkin's "playoff face."
