Saying that Barry didnt sell it the foul is completely ******ed.

ANSWER THIS QUESTION: WAS IT A FOUL OR NOT? NO IF, ANDS, BUTS. ITS A YES OR NO QUESTION. AND YES, THAT WAS CLEARLY A FOUL

I 1000000 percent agree. But hey, dudes have on yellow-tinted glasses and just won't call it like it is. I could give two %#!+@ what Barkley orReggie or anyone else has to say. THAT WAS A FOUL. Come on now. Since when do you pump fake, someone falls for your pump, yet you don't get the call? Youhave to SELL it?

If anything, say that you're glad the refs didn't call that particular foul in the closing seconds of a tight game. But I think most of you areinsulting a lot of people's intelligence by saying that it was NOT a foul.

And for the record, I don't believe in conspiracy theories in the NBA. But it was pretty dumb to have Crawford ref this game. Why not put him in the ECFinstead?

Skip loves the spurs and I can't wait to see how PO'ed he is tomorrow.

I hate the Spurs but right now I gotta give them props for being so classy about this.

Exactly-that was a Celtics/Pistons game I remember.

I mean, I don't care whether it's called or not, but the point is, they have to be consistent. Either call it ALL the time or NEVER call it.

The Lakers definitely got kinda lucky but Horry should be taking that shot.

False.

Chauncey jumped INTO Cassell Tony Allen and forced the refs to make the call....Barry tried to avoid the contact like a big dummy

There ya go.

Regardless, Barry moved away from the contact. If he didn't take that extra dribble... free throws. It would have been two free throws though, or shouldhave been if that foul was called (He wasn't even in the act of shooting).

 

[i nasmatic i]

it WAS a foul...should it have been called? that's up to an individual.

 

[mustbetheshoe58]

good win for the lakeshow

 

[sriracha hot sauce]

The things that irks me is the Lakers always have these type of calls at end of game situations go in THEIR favor.

Therefore, I KNOW for a FACT that if Kobe was in that SAME position as Barry, and DIDNT get that foul call, this forum and every Laker fans would be goingcrazy.

No Spurs player/coach will admit that was a foul, because they are a no excuse team. Y'all should know that by now.

 

[sa amg]

1. Kobe's shot-clock violation was not a violation. It hit the rim. Shot-clocked should of reset, they scarmble for the ball, who knows if they had enoughtime to get off a shot after they call a time-out.

2. Odom had a CLEAN block on Parker. That was no goal tend.

3. Even Pop says if he was the ref, he will not call that.

4. Lets go to the finals baby.

 

[LOLOMGWTFBBQ]

Popovich: "If I was the official, I wouldn't have called the foul"

And whats really funny its the same cats who really don't like the lakers or don't like laker fans.

All I can say is its not our fault that the foul was not called. I can't change what happend so there is no reason to jump on us because we got lucky.

Co-sign 100%...
The Spurs should not have let it come down to that though; they missed a lot of shots in the 4th.
At the same time, the Lakers should not have let it come down to the final possession as well. Bad execution in the final minute.

Good game, I think it was a foul; but because other players would get fouls in that situation, that's why I don't like the call. the NBA needsconsistency in their officiating more than anything, and clearly they don't have anything close to it. It sucks to have a game end with controversy likethis because it was a real good game.

In any case, I still don't understand why Pop didn't have Horry taking that shot. I mean, that's what he's done his WHOLE career...and hisgreatest strength by far. I would not bet against him taking a final shot.

 

[khanthology]

Pop said if he was reffing he wouldn't have called that a foul either so it is what it is..

 

[sohi 23]

One more thing.

What about Ginobli's foot over the line?
What about Pop and Barry admitting they wouldn't have called it either?
What about Fisher's shot hitting the rim?


I still don't understand how people can call conspiracies.
If Stern REALLY fixed the NBA, I will never figure out how a NY team didn't get a top 5 pick.

you guys dont have to think so hard, fish shot should have reset the clock the previous play....Lakers with 24 on the clock with 6 secs.

end case.
everything balances out

 

[darthska]

POP... THE SAN ANTONIO SPURS COACH... JUST SAID...




... WORD FOR WORD...




"IF I WERE A REF, I WOULD NOT MAKE THAT CALL."




Have some.

Reggie agrees a foul shouldn't have been called.

Chuck agrees a foul shouldn't have been called.

THE SPURS' COACH AGREES A FOUL SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN CALLED.

Have some.

Oh, here (so you don't have to type it up; you can just copy and paste

):

Of course Pop is going to say that. He doesn't want to be fined for dogging the refs.

It goes back and forth.

 

[trasoul82]

Phil called it. The Lakers should have had a fresh 24 after Derek Fisher's shot. So the game shouldn't have even come down to that last play that atworst would have sent the game to overtime.

 

[illmaticsoulchild]

The last play is a non-issue. Lakers outplayed the Spurs for about 47 minutes. The Spurs didn't deserve to win. The basketball gods saw to it that the bestteam won tonite.

I actually think the Spurs will find a way to steal Game 5 and lose in Game 6 at home. Just a hunch.

 

[M. Fresh]

regardless of barry moved out of the way, it was a foul but they werent going to call it

5. Duncan traveled

6. Manu didn't hit a 3 his foot was on the line.

 

[jpzx]

That has to be the dumbest %%%+$$ foul I've ever seen someone commit. Your team is up by 2 and you foul a guy with 1 second left while he's shootingnear half court.

Fisher is a +@%$@$@ idiot

 

[r0biiin]

 

[SneakerProSr.]

Laker fans are admitting it was a foul.

You can say he SHOULD have sold it better and he should have.

The Lakers and their fans should feel no shame in this win because they deserved to win but it was a foul.

 

[maza4ever14]

WOW

Spurs Fans, Peep sig

 

[true 3 blue]

Its amazing how many suspect calls the refs made (or didn't make) in favor of the Spurs, YET some are focusing on a single play that ended the game.

Saw it coming a mile away.
