The Official Barry Fouled By Fisher Thread

[alon504]

Cheated. I saw the foul. That was a 3 point FT. I SAW IT. Gipped. That sucks!!!!!!

[Medvedenko]

Can't get bailed out by the refs....seemed to work all game though.

[SpursFan0728]

Wtf Crawford?

[SpurOutofTownFan]

that was a clear foul, anyone can see it - the league and specially that ref will pay for this. I guarantee it. I'm taking this one to heart.

[Dim Tuncan]

SOUR GRAPES

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

FUCKING LOOOOOOOOOOOOSERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[GrandeDavid]

Bullsh!t no call. Screw this.

[debo]

:bangboy does this suck:bang

[Peja]

whhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat????????????


that is nothing, he barely touched him, good d , he got outplayed

[DD]

That was a clean block on parker's layup, not goaltending...watch it again. Everything evens out in the end

[Peja]

sasha >>>>>>>>>>>>> manu

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Wtf Crawford?

For the love of God, that was Joe Forte up top, not Joey.

Of course, Forte had been hosing us all night long.

[whottt]

You jump on them.

Shit the Lakers are smart...no one has ever thought of that before. It's so easy when you think about it.

You just....run into them.


This could revolutionize the game.

[SequSpur]

yeah, but the foul was let go you dumb fuck.

[watertorture]

Sour grapes? He almost took his head off.
It's a 2-1 series (with a * on game 4).

[LakerRings]

thank you.

[Medvedenko]

Like I said...you don't call that foul on a desperation heave....how many times have you seen that type of play with no call.

[nkdlunch]

these refs are worthless

[thekingrobert]

Wow

[KillerBee]

Guys I am a Hornets fan and have been giving you shit for a couple of weeks now, but, that was a horrible NO call on the last play of the game. The fucking refs play such a part in BasketBall. It is frustrating to watch sometimes.

PS. Lakers fans, I was actually pulling for you at the end. It was a Fucking Foul!

[SequSpur]

bullshit.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

whhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat????????????


that is nothing, he barely touched him, good d , he got outplayed

he barely touched him? he sat on his neck...

[jbspurs]

Just get this over withm and give it to Celtics and Lakers. What a disgrace to the league!!!!!!!!!!

[DazedAndConfused]

You were gift-wrapped the entire 1st quarter. The Lakers were the better team tonight and they deserved to win.

[scott]

I believe the rules specify that 0.4 seconds does not leave sufficient time to commit a foul.

[ducks]

:bang:bang:bang:bang
joe can die

[2centsworth]

Manu has 1 freakin ankle and still somehow made a play.

[ballhog]

If that was Kobe. Automatic foul. Fucking NBA cocksuckers.

[Dim Tuncan]

Didn't see any contact. Sounds like you Spurs fans have become accustomed to refs bailing you out, which is why this Spurs team will never be considered one of the greatest ever. Ouch.

[NASHville]

Barry is not going to get that call. Manu would have. But either way the Spurs season is over.

[TheSanityAnnex]

Like I said...you don't call that foul on a desperation heave....how many times have you seen that type of play with no call.
I've yet to see a no call when Kobe has been the one heaving.

Bullshit non-call.

[nkdlunch]

Like I said...you don't call that foul on a desperation heave....how many times have you seen that type of play with no call.

never seen this as a non-call. This was obvious foul. even my gf who doesn't know basket ball said, isnt that an obvious foul???

[George Gervin's Afro]

Last non call was not the reason we lost... giving up 100 second chance points is the main cause. We played hard and that's all we could ask of our team..

[GrandeDavid]

F- this.

[alon504]

I swear to God, I saw it on my TV live with my own eyes. Call it sour grapes if you want, LA.....you got one damn lucky game. I SAW IT. Clear as day. End of that story.

[Canuck]

Wah wah wah wah wah wah wah.

Maybe get some rebounds next time.

[ShoogarBear]

Derek Fisher is a genius. He can't do anything wrong at the end of games, no matter what the rules actually are.

[CharlieMac]

I have never once bitched about the refs and this Joey Crawford situation, but I'm fucking in shock.

[phxspurfan]

Please don't give in and watch this year's finals. It's complete, fixed bullshit and the public needs to take its head out of its ass to realize this whole playoffs has been a joke.

Send a message. Don't watch this hogwash.

[K-State Spur]

Can't get bailed out by the refs....seemed to work all game though.

that wouldn't have been a bail out. the foul prevented barry from getting any kind of real look.

agreed that the Spurs got the benefit of the doubt over the lakers overall tonight.

but still a horrible call at the end. absolutely zero surprise that joey crawford was right on top of it...

[ballhog]

Like I said...you don't call that foul on a desperation heave....how many times have you seen that type of play with no call.

He was fouled even before the shot shithead.

[2centsworth]

Joey needs to be kicked out forever.

[jbspurs]

SOUR GRAPES

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

FUCKING LOOOOOOOOOOOOSERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

FUCK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DD]

yeah, but the foul was let go you dumb fuck.

what foul you stupid mook?

[baseline bum]

:bang:bang:bang:bang
joe can die

I wish his whole fucking family would

[pbandjnocrust]

If that was Kobe. Automatic foul. Fucking NBA cocksuckers.

+1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000

[Medvedenko]

he barely touched him? he sat on his neck...

He sat on his neck..really....well he did touch him but it was a desperation heave....no call 10/10 times. Unless you get completely molested you don't get that call. The Lakers have been burned a lot by that type of play, but it comes down to the Spurs not making shots.

[zocool16]

2004....BS 0.4
2006....BS ginobil foul
2008... BS no call at the end...i mean...anyone who doesn't recognize that as a foul is just blind from the ears

[George Gervin's Afro]

Like I said...you don't call that foul on a desperation heave....how many times have you seen that type of play with no call.

we didn't lose because of that call..

[Canuck]

Yeah, lucky game :lol

Refs helped the Spurs out tonight too.

[JackArse]

i dont know how that was not a foul.

[Das Texan]

are you serious?


:pctoss

[som3on3_10]

How about Timmy's traveling no call when he dunked it on that fast break. Please don't be little babies and whine about the refs AGAIN. I remember Phoenix fans crying the same way last year about you guys so suck it up.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Like I said...you don't call that foul on a desperation heave....how many times have you seen that type of play with no call.

you would not call something like that if the foul was barely noticeable - but this one was huge..

not blaming the loss on the refs, I think the spurs played bad and the lakers had a very good game but they should have given that call. It was clear and if the spurs won the game no one would be hurt as it was a clear foul.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

* bullshit non-call at the end of game 4.

Just so you know what's coming if you go on to win it all.

[baseline bum]

Last non call was not the reason we lost... giving up 100 second chance points is the main cause. We played hard and that's all we could ask of our team..

Bullshit. It's not like that was anything borderline at all.

[AstroCowboy]

That was a foul if I've ever seen one.

[DawgMilkX]

No offense but when your caught in the air and you hit the player with the ball its a foul! They call it for less then that but it was so obvious! I'm not going to play the ref card because we had so many foul shots but when the call is so freaking obvious you have to call it. I hope this is Crawford's last game with all that BS. HE should be fined and Spurs should get 3 foul shots to replay that and if he makes them Spurs win. Like that would happen but it should be.:ihit

[21_Blessings]

Kobe has SIX FUCKING FREE THROW ATTEMPTS THE ENTIRE FUCKING SERIES.

Yeah blame the refs Sporks.

[ducks]

that was a terrible no call

[dbreiden83080]

I literally don't know what to say right now, i just can't believe it

[watertorture]

Barry is not going to get that call. Manu would have. But either way the Spurs season is over.

I thought over was when one team beat the other four times in the play-offs (thoughts the Suns should know that).

[spursRgay]

yea that was a foul, pretty easy. wtf was fisher doing jumping at that?

[phxspurfan]

Boycott the Finals.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

*

Fuck you Phil.

[Pistons < Spurs]

What a huge monumental fuck-up. I don't play the blame officials game, but the Spurs just got completely jacked. You can't allow a BS call like that determine the series. They should be allowed to review that at the end of the game. The league should not allow a teams playoff life be determined by such an obvious mistake.

[Lakers_55]

Hey, honestly, I thought Fisher made a dumb play in the end and got bailed out. Now, this topic will beat 0.4 in replies. Sorry Spurs fans, it should have been Barry at the line for 2 shots. Who's to say, he may have choked, we will never know. Or maybe The Lakers get a last second heave to win as in 2004. I feel for you guys though, we almost gave this away.

[IcemanCometh]

Lakers win on a bullshit call in the 4th game only to lose to the Pistons in the finals

[zepn]

Last non call was not the reason we lost... giving up 100 second chance points is the main cause. We played hard and that's all we could ask of our team..

Oh shut the fuck up! I am so fucking tired of that bullshit.

If Barry goes to the line and makes three, Spurs win, Period.

[Vito Corleone]

I'm officially done with the NBA if I want to watch shit like this I will watch WWE. The NBA has zero credibility and stern is nothing more than Vince McMahon.

If this is what basketball has come to I will stick with football and baseball. Why the hell have a franchise in San Antonio if all they want to succeed is teams like the Lakers.

Go to hell NBA

[CP3-MVP]

it was not a shooting foul. So it would not have been a 3 shot foul, and the Spurs should not have been in that position to begin with. Way too many mistakes and turnovers at the end of the game.

Shame on your fans for leaving before the end of the game, too

[monosylab1k]

Godawful no-call. Vince McMahon should look into being a joint-commisioner of the NBA.

[timvp]

Fisher strikes again. Unbelievable.

[T Park]

You knew when it came down to it, the lakers would get the benefit.

Hurts just the same, but you knew it was gonna happen.

[jbspurs]

Wah wah wah wah wah wah wah.

Maybe get some rebounds next time.

Maybe go back to your own forum!!!! You guys can't win without the help for zebra's. I bet your balls was all the way up your throat in the closing seconds. You shoudn't be proud of the win

[Doug Whiner]

You all sound awfully familiar.

[davidbowie]

if it wasn't called a shooting foul would berry have had ft's?

[SPARKY]

2 shot foul. :wtf

[watertorture]

Reggie says "Yeah he got fouled, but it was a good no call." That is just stupid talk.

[ballhog]

sasha >>>>>>>>>>>>> manu

Sasha is a role player. Any NBA knowledge?

[Banzai]

* bullshit non-call at the end of game 4.

Just so you know what's coming if you go on to win it all.

:downspin::whine

[DD]

Please don't give in and watch this year's finals. It's complete, fixed bullshit and the public needs to take its head out of its ass to realize this whole playoffs has been a joke.

Send a message. Don't watch this hogwash.

A spurs fan talking fix? :lol Man fuckers have short memories

[Medvedenko]

It was 8-5 all game against the lakers. How many "touch" fouls did we get the entire game and had our whole team in foul trouble. It's too bad you couldn't pull it out. But if that call was made you would have been bailed out by the refs. I guess the spurs couldn't take advantage. Still only 3-1....

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

ummmmm ever heard of the penalty? Lakers were in it.

2 shot foul would have tied it up.

[picnroll]

*

[cobbler]

Here come all the EXCUSES!!!!

You would have been blown out by 25 if they call it even semi even in the first have. The stripes kept you in the game.

Was a good game. See you in LA, quitter.

[dbreiden83080]

I don't think he was getting that in the act but were the Lakers over the limit

[Total Screwjob]

It still would have been 2 shots from the best FT shooter on the Team. The luckers had no fouls to give.

[T Park]

This ranks up there with .4...

[watertorture]

Kenny says "It was a foul, but he didn't sell it."

Wow. If sold it they be saying flop.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

had to have been. Although the refs would have ensured they werent

[timvp]

Spurs were in the penalty. But uh yeah, he was shooting the ball.

[Spurs Brazil]

Refs fucked us on the last play but if we had done a better job on the board we won't need that.

[CharlieMac]

Let me get this straight Kenny and Charles, if Manu falls, he's flopping, but since Brent didn't fall, he didn't "sell it"?

Retarded.

[SPARKY]

2 shot foul.

NBWWF.

[CP3-MVP]

I know. Barry didnt sell it well enough, he should have NEVER put it on the floor. He should have gone straight up with it.

The NBA is not a conspiracy, you people need to give it up.

[dbreiden83080]

I feel sick right now

[DazedAndConfused]

C'mon be serious. Pop played his starters the ENTIRE 4th quarter, they had no gas left in the tank.

Ok, let's say the refs call the foul. Brent was NOT in the act of shooting, it would have been a 2 shot foul. Quit crying, the "foul" wasn't blatant or bad at all.

[2centsworth]

Fish intentionally threw his hip into Brent too.

[21_Blessings]

Kobe 6 freethrows the entire series you dumbshit faggots. Yeah blame the refs. Maybe Kobe will get suspended in game 6 for stepping on the court when Horry injures Gasol in game 5.

Have fun fishin'

[monosylab1k]

I generally approve of refs swallowing whistles at the end, but this was just way too obvious of a foul.

I hate the Spurs, but they got royally fucked by the long arm of David Stern on this one.

[baseline bum]

Worst fuck job in pro sports history since the tuck in New England.

[Dav|d $tern]

it wasn't a foul

[dbreiden83080]

Barry hits 3 game over

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

'no foul'

I guess that's what he told the jury as well

[spursRgay]

stern didn't want the mavs to win, they didn't...stern doesn't want the spurs in the finals, they won't get there

sorry, that's how the NBA is run

[phxspurfan]

Btw, the incredible disappearing Manu is really pissing me off right now.

[TDfan2007]

we didn't deserve this game. It was a poorly drawn play to begin with. Brent would have had to take a 30-footer. Those last 10 seconds were just completely indicative of the game.

[MarceloM!]

What a steal. My God. I can't believe this.

[ecksodia]

You aren't going to get any agreement here.. Admit it, if the colours were reversed, you'd be whining about it as well

[ShoogarBear]

If the colors were reversed, he'd be back in the Rockets forums.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

if that was Kobe, then he gets the call........... take off your friggin' homer glasses

[KobeOwnsBowen]

That was not a continuation but I do agree that it was a foul.

[T Park]

I would've liked to have had a chance to see it and not had the refs and the nba deny me the chance.

Fuck this, why should i pay big money for tickets to WWF?

[Avitus1]

Joey: Joey to Stern, Joey to Stern......

Stern: Stern here.

Joey: Mission Accomplished!

Worst fuck job in pro sports history since the tuck in New England.

What? That was completely legit. NE deserves their rings.

[SequSpur]

a foul is a fucking foul is a fucking foul... fuck the nba...that's why i don't buy tickets to this shit anymore... fuck them... i hope david stern, joey crawford and kobe fucking die tonight.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

We need to be very critic here.. the spurs lost ok as they couldnt get over the hump all night long. Lakers played an outstanding game but the last non-call was very obvious. Everybody is saying it was a foul.

Again you have to add this to the baggage and the joke this playoffs has been. No resting days in between, etc. The spurs have been fighting uphill against a lot of obstacles since the beginning. Some of them self inflicted though.

The lakers have the edge now and could close out at home in game 5. I'm almost certain at this point theres some rigging going on in the league - it has been a joke and it's disheartening for real basketball fans.

[Lakers999]

consider that last shot karma for this.....

http://youtube.com/watch?v=fvkKdXLwt0U

[alon504]

I don't care what anyone says, AT ALL. I SAW IT WITH MY OWN EYES. That WAS A FOUL if I've EVER seen one. This is a bunch of bullshit.

[Nahtanoj]

If there was going to be a call, it'd be a 2 shot foul.. Barry dribbled into Fisher.. it's a foul on the dribble.

[2centsworth]

Btw, the incredible disappearing Manu is really pissing me off right now.


will you shut the hell up. If this was the regular season the guy would sit out a month. He's playing purely on guts.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Thanks Stern, I was thinking about going in with a buddy of mine in SA on season tickets next year as I'll be in the SA area more for work.

But if you're going to fix shit this bad, I'll invest the money elsewhere.

I'm done with the NBA.

[Bob Lanier]

You can't allow a BS call like that determine the series.
We're speaking of the goaltending call on Odom's block of Parker inside of a minute left, yes?

[bobbyjoe]

Spurs were in the penalty. But uh yeah, he was shooting the ball.

Uh, no he wasn't. He eluded Fisher with a sidestep, THEN shot the ball. No way is that a continuation and 3 shots.

Bottomline is that the Spurs were outplayed tonight and really had no business being in that game if not for Gasol and Kobe just doing their best to give the game away with choking and mental mistake (Kobe) in the last minute.

Plus SA got the bulk of the calls tonight throughout the game (massive FT disparity even though LA was clearly more energetic and active as indicated by the rebounding and loose ball edge being decidedly SA).

Why in the World did Popovich not sub out Duncan in the 4th? At least for a couple minutes? Duncan was on fumes. Parker and Manu seemed to be also. I understand the bench has been letting him down, but you have to give a couple of minutes rest. If he did that, Spurs win tonight IMO...

[lakersownspurs]

************fisher's Shot Hit The Rim. Go Back And Look Whiners!!!********

[Avitus1]

Both teams were over the limit...

[E20]

No ref would have called that foul. Quit complaining, look at the postivies from this game, look at the mistakes and move on. Spurs have to get ready for Game 5.

[ballhog]

The refs had already decided who was going to win at that point.

[cobbler]

Oh shut the fuck up! I am so fucking tired of that bullshit.

If Barry goes to the line and makes three, Spurs win, Period.

Actually if you look at the play. It would have been 2 shots if your in the penalty or outbounds because Barry dribbled after the contact.

[jbspurs]

it wasn't a foul

for a retard... YEAH !

[td4mvp21]

That was a foul. Contact was made. How can you argue that it wasn't when that is the definition of a foul? It makes me mad, because all game we got all these ticky tack fouls on the Lakers that I didn't even want (but gladly took :lol), and yet the one foul that was actually a legit foul wasn't called, and it cost us the game as far as we know. I don't want to lose like that.

[demosthenes247]

We're speaking of the goaltending call on Odom's block of Parker inside of a minute left, yes?

If not, we should be. That was as bogus a call as anything.

[T Park]

Thanks Stern, I was thinking about going in with a buddy of mine in SA on season tickets next year as I'll be in the SA area more for work.

But if you're going to fix shit this bad, I'll invest the money elsewhere.

I'm done with the NBA.

Pretty much my feelings exactly :tu

[Kriz-Maxima]

They were over the limit.

[Medvedenko]

Look, I do agree it was a foul on the ground...but they don't call that shit...I've seen Kobe get hacked on similar plays to win the game and no call.

Manu was a ghost
TD got tired
Brent Fucking Berry is your saviour?

Good luck the rest of the series.

[timmydidit]

Derek Fisher is a genius. He can't do anything wrong at the end of games, no matter what the rules actually are.

[blackmamba]

Damn you guys cry so much you might actually make it on the Spurs team LOL!!!!! That's what happens when you bitch and moan on EVERY SINGLE CALL... The refs get tired of hearing you whine like little bitches and you don't get calls. BTW Everyone of you with DVR's go rewind and look at Odom with the clean block on Tony Langoria.. See you in LA.

[T Park]

Spurs were in the penalty. But uh yeah, he was shooting the ball.


The NBA is now the WWF.

Fuck this league.

[KHRIS]

It was 8-5 all game against the lakers. How many "touch" fouls did we get the entire game and had our whole team in foul trouble. It's too bad you couldn't pull it out. But if that call was made you would have been bailed out by the refs. I guess the spurs couldn't take advantage. Still only 3-1....

Damn straight. The refs tried giving the game to the Spurs. The game shouldnt have been close. I never see refs bail out a team with the game on the line.

GO LAKERS!!!

[SpurOutofTownFan]

it was not a shooting foul. So it would not have been a 3 shot foul, and the Spurs should not have been in that position to begin with. Way too many mistakes and turnovers at the end of the game.

Shame on your fans for leaving before the end of the game, too

in the act of shooting

[Purple & Gold]

Great win Lakeshow :clap :clap :clap


Was it a foul?? Yes. But it wasn't a shooting foul, he was still dribbling. Not sure if the Lakers were in the penalty, but it was 2 shots at most. But Barry fucked up and tried to dribble the ball like an idiot when all he had to do was jump into Fisher. But the refs kept the spurs in the game anyways. Idiot move by Barry putting the ball on the floor.

[SequSpur]

FTL. I hope Stern, Crawford and Kobe die tonight.

[Purple & Gold]

in the act of shooting

Ahhhhh...... No it wasn't

[samikeyp]

It was a foul but it should have never come down to that. The Spurs missed way too many open looks tonight, and that is what did them in.

[Lebowski Brickowski]

We're speaking of the goaltending call on Odom's block of Parker inside of a minute left, yes?

yeah that too -- that was And 1

[Borosai]

It's laughable that any Laker fan would show up and say anything about it. EVERYONE knows it was a foul, and it wasn't one of those 50/50 calls either. He landed on his fucking shoulder. How can they not call that? It's too much not to call it.

[Lakers_55]

However, Barry should have jumped into Fisher, ala Ginobili....that would have sold the foul.

[dallaskd]

Wow as much as i dislike the spurs i feel for every spur fan out there. ive been heatbroken many times as a mav fan. i know what it feels like. this ones gotta bite. kobe was a little bitch in his post game interview. fuck that shit. go spurs in 7. make that little bitch cry in front of his worshipers.

[demosthenes247]

Also, I'm extremely disoriented by the administration of threads tonight :p

[Medvedenko]

Also fishers shot hit the rim when....they supposedly we only got 2 seconds to shoot when it should have been a new 24....tit for tat I guess.

[TDfan2007]

Btw, the incredible disappearing Manu is really pissing me off right now.

Me too. He's been putrid for 3 of 4 games this series.

[dallaskd]

However, Barry should have jumped into Fisher, ala Ginobili....that would have sold the foul.

yeah if he had jumped up or at least shot it there is a call no doubt

[GrandeDavid]

The NBA needs instant replay for the last minute of games.

[cobbler]

FTL. I hope Stern, Crawford and Kobe die tonight.

Real classy there.

[Bob Lanier]

I wonder how many of those now screaming "conspiracy" were smugly gloating when the Mavericks were being shafted in the '06 Finals.

[whottt]

Fuck TNT.

So now you have to sell an obvious foul to get a call?

Fuck those guys.



They're fucking idiots anyway, Barry wanted to get the shot off because he knew he wouldn't get a call in that situation.

Fisher fouled him and made it impossible for him to shoot. Period.


2 shot foul
3 shot foul

Doesn't matter...it was blatant fucking foul. There is no way you blow that call.

[lakersownspurs]

You should have been down four anyhow. Fisher's shot hit the rim and you SHOULD have had to foul, but the refs were calling a home game all night. It was sad to see how they were favoring the SPURS...

[2centsworth]

Look, I do agree it was a foul on the ground...but they don't call that shit...I've seen Kobe get hacked on similar plays to win the game and no call.

Manu was a ghost
TD got tired
Brent Fucking Berry is your saviour?

Good luck the rest of the series.

dude the spurs deserved a chance to tie it up at the line. Take it into overtime and decide it there.

[Robinzine]

Cheated. I saw the foul. That was a 3 point FT. I SAW IT. Gipped. That sucks!!!!!!
Get over it and stop crying about calls and the refs. You sound like a Queens fan. The Spurs didn't lose because of one call. They put themselves in position to lose and the scoreboard shows it. They fought hard but were down too far to come all the way back, and the Lakers got stops when they needed them. That's the bottom line.

[Shank]

Gee, tough break, guys. Sorry to see it.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

this is like game 1 - the spurs didn't deserve either game so the refs took care of making sure it didn't happen at the very end.

the league, stern and that motherfucker will pay for this dearly - i guarantee it.

[dallaskd]

not trolling..but saying san antonio gets knocked out...would you mind trading Manu or maybe Parker?

[whottt]

I wonder how many of those now screaming "conspiracy" were smugly gloating when the Mavericks were being shafted in the '06 Finals.


Um...we got shafted by the fucking Mavs too.

[cobbler]

You all sound like Suns fans now. You were outplayed all night and you know it.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Holy shit. Phil Jackson just admitted that Fisher fouled Barry.

:wow

[timmydidit]

Damn you guys cry so much you might actually make it on the Spurs team LOL!!!!! That's what happens when you bitch and moan on EVERY SINGLE CALL... The refs get tired of hearing you whine like little bitches and you don't get calls. BTW Everyone of you with DVR's go rewind and look at Odom with the clean block on Tony Langoria.. See you in LA.

a crucial game 4 and a BS no call for a potential tie.. you call that crying about nothing.. STFU and get out of here

[whottt]

Phil Jackson - He bumped him and it was a no call.

[Purple & Gold]

It's laughable that any Laker fan would show up and say anything about it. EVERYONE knows it was a foul, and it wasn't one of those 50/50 calls either. He landed on his fucking shoulder. How can they not call that? It's too much not to call it.

Non shooting foul. Plus Fisher's shot hit the rim. So stop your crying. :cry :cry :cry

[dbreiden83080]

crushed right now, i don't know what to say:depressed

[alon504]

Holy shit. Phil Jackson just admitted that Fisher fouled Barry.

:wow

BECAUSE HE WAS FOULED, DAMMIT. I'm pissed.

[Ludovician]

I wonder how many of those now screaming "conspiracy" were smugly gloating when the Mavericks were being shafted in the '06 Finals.

I wonder if you were splitting hairs when the Lakers were shooting 27 free throws in the fourth quarter versus Sacramento.

[21_Blessings]

if that was Kobe, then he gets the call........... take off your friggin' homer glasses

Are you fucking stupid? 6 free throws the entire series.

Duncan took 10 steps in the first half which led to dunk. Kobe should have shot 8+ free throws tonight but got no calls. Fuck off Spurs.

[lakersownspurs]

The Lakers didn't get the right call at one , and the Spurs didn't at the other . Refs suck , Oh well...

[1Parker1]

:lmao :lmao

I don't know what's more shocking; The Non-Call or the fact that so many fuckin experts on TNT and ESPN are actually justifying it.

So the Spurs get bagged on for their "Acting abilities" yet in the end Barry doesn't get a call because he didn't "sell it" enough? :lmao

Fisher and the Lakers fuckin strike again.

[LakerRings]

it's too bad that a game which was wildly refereed in favor of the spurs now will have the stink of spurs fans whining about the refs on a call that they should never have been in a a position to cry like little girls about.

[CharlieMac]

Holy shit. Phil Jackson just admitted that Fisher fouled Barry.

:wow

That's fucking crazy. Admitting that just made me pull for the the Lakers over the Celtics when Stern gets them both to the Finals.

[timmydidit]

You all sound like Suns fans now. You were outplayed all night and you know it.

we were sooooo outplayed we only lost by 2 with a BS no call

[kevinwiz]

YES it was a foul, anyone with eyes can see that BUT we outplayed you guys the entire game, you guys never led.

[GrandeDavid]

Like I said...you don't call that foul on a desperation heave....how many times have you seen that type of play with no call.

If it was such a desperation heave, why the hell did Fisher jump into him then? Bad no call.

[dallaskd]

this is how we felt in the 06 finals. i hope the pistons fuck up stern's happy plans

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Tough break.

Move on and win G5.

[Robinzine]

Manu has 1 freakin ankle and still somehow made a play.
Wow, he made A play. Where was he the rest of the freaking game, one ankle or not?

[CharlieMac]

:lmao :lmao

I don't know what's more shocking; The Non-Call or the fact that so many fuckin experts on TNT and ESPN are actually justifying it.

So the Spurs get bagged on for their "Acting abilities" yet in the end Barry doesn't get a call because he didn't "sell it" enough? :lmao

Fisher and the Lakers fuckin strike again.

I can't get over that. Didn't "sell it". Amazing.

[lakersownspurs]

You're lucky to have a shot at the end!!! The Lakers went through one of their patented end of game collapses!!!

[whottt]

You should have been down four anyhow. Fisher's shot hit the rim and you SHOULD have had to foul, but the refs were calling a home game all night. It was sad to see how they were favoring the SPURS...



Hey...a missed rim shot isn't the same as fucking jumping onto a dude.

[akula488]

It is definitely a foul under normal circumstances. Non-shooting foul though because Barry was dribbling when Fisher came down on him. However, Kobe Bryant, who averages 10 FTs a game and is the 2007-2008 MVP, only has SIX free throw attempts in FOUR freaking games. SIX free throws in FOUR games. If the MVP can only get SIX free throw attemps in FOUR games, I don't see any reason the ref would give a BENCH player FTs in the last seconds of the game.

[21_Blessings]

we were sooooo outplayed we only lost by 2 with a BS no call

outplayed and you guys still shot 7 more free throws than the Lakers.

stop looking for a bailout call. the Lakers are the better team and anyone with eyes can see that

[Capt Bringdown]

We lost the series in game 1. We're just not mentally strong against the Lakers.

If this year's squad was the real deal, we would have wone game 1 and we wouldn't have choked so badly with bad shooting in game 4.

Lakers have outplayed us, I ain't blaming the refs.

[dallaskd]

Holy shit. Phil Jackson just admitted that Fisher fouled Barry.

:wow

i loved kobe absolutely saying no way. tnt should bring him on. show him the video and ask him again.

[Lakers999]

Nice! admitting defeat when defeated :toast

[GrandeDavid]

YES it was a foul, anyone with eyes can see that BUT we outplayed you guys the entire game, you guys never led.

I agree with that, fully. Manu had an awful game, the Spurs couldn't hit big shots to take leads when they rarely tied the game. You are right.

[Medvedenko]

Non shooting foul. Plus Fisher's shot hit the rim. So stop your crying. :cry :cry :cry

Exactly...I don't see Spur fans crying about the ref conspiracy when Fish's shot hit the rim and should have been a new clock.....I know only when we foul it matters. I'm tired of the complaining. The lakers were the better team tonight and made plays down the stretch when needed. It's unfortunate that it came down to a shitty no call but that's why they play the game.

[watertorture]

The refs tried giving the game to the Spurs.

Wow. Lakers' spin a bad call into their abuse.

[Bob Lanier]

Um...we got shafted by the fucking Mavs too.
I don't disagree.

So, just so's we're clear, in the following series, the Dallas Mavericks were cheated out of the 2006 NBA Championship by the league office and the referees?

[cecil collins]

Great win Lakeshow :clap :clap :clap


Was it a foul?? Yes. But it wasn't a shooting foul, he was still dribbling. Not sure if the Lakers were in the penalty, but it was 2 shots at most. But Barry fucked up and tried to dribble the ball like an idiot when all he had to do was jump into Fisher. But the refs kept the spurs in the game anyways. Idiot move by Barry putting the ball on the floor.

It's up to the officials to call the game. What's the point in even having them if the players have to overact for them to see it. Spurs deserved to lose, but not like that. Derek Fisher is the biggest piece of shit in the NBA.

[Shaolin-Style]

I love how we go from "Floppin' needs to be addressed" to "He should have sold that foul a little better" to justify shit like this.

[GuerillaBlack]

That was a bullshit no-call. Crawford and the Spurs hate continues.

[whottt]

TNT: He did get fouled. But it's ok.

[ducks]

I guess barry should have jumped into him and shot

[ShoogarBear]

YES it was a foul, anyone with eyes can see that BUT we deserve to go to the Finals, all the papers, and ABC, and the League Office are saying it.

Fixed.

[zepn]

You should have been down four anyhow. Fisher's shot hit the rim and you SHOULD have had to foul, but the refs were calling a home game all night. It was sad to see how they were favoring the SPURS...

They just showed the re-play. It did not hit the rim.

[stlrbum]

Watch the replay again. Barry makes a jump fake, pulls the ball down and as Fisher is coming down draws the contact. If a call was made it would have been a 2 shots not 3

BTW it looked like a foul to me. Barry was just asked if it was a foul and he said "that's not going to get called".

[kydrice]

I'm for Lakers but I even have to say it was a foul but then again like the Sportstalk speakers are saying, Barry saw Fisher and decided to dive in, he knew what he was getting himself into and couldn't sell his story afterwards. Also take it as a shot back for the uncalled foul against Bowen towards Sasha.

[1Parker1]

That was not a continuation but I do agree that it was a foul.

It doesn't matter if it was a continuation or not. Lakers were in the penalty.

That was a blatant foul. I mean, it wasn't even like it was a little foul or it could have been interpreted any other way. Fisher was literally on Barry's neck. How do THREE refs miss that?

I understand that the refs don't call fouls at the end of games to bail people out, but that wasn't a ticky tack foul.

I hope someone from the Spurs man up and call on this bullshit in their postgame comments.

[Purple & Gold]

Hey...a missed rim shot isn't the same as fucking jumping onto a dude.

Ohhh really??

[lakersownspurs]

Hey...a missed rim shot isn't the same as fucking jumping onto a dude.

OK you are down by four and Barry shoots 3 shots IF the refs make that call. You STILL lose by one... HELLO??

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Pop needs to take one for the team and get fined and call out the stripes.

That shit was a foul.

[whottt]

TNT: I never want the refs to decide a game.

Then they say Barry should have sold the foul. What a bunch of corrupt idiots.

[kevinwiz]

Wow Pop Said No Foul

[Bob Lanier]

I love how we go from "Floppin' needs to be addressed" to "He should have sold that foul a little better" to justify shit like this.
:tu

NBA reporters are fundamentally self-loathing.

[2centsworth]

Wow, he made A play. Where was he the rest of the freaking game, one ankle or not?

One ankle or not, are you retarded?

[LakerRings]

ha, popovitch says proper no call

[1Parker1]

Well, Pop just said "It was a proper non-call"

:pctoss Sometimes I hate this guy.

[watertorture]

It's unfortunate that it came down to a shitty no call but that's why they play the game.

Yeah. I always watch games for bad calls.

[2centsworth]

Wow Pop Said No Foul

Spurs across the board never blame the refs.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

OK you are down by four and Barry shoots 3 shots IF the refs make that call. You STILL lose by one... HELLO??

Hey math major, Spurs were down 2.

[T Park]

Pop needs to take one for the team and get fined and call out the stripes.

That shit was a foul.


Agree 1000%

[CharlieMac]

Wow Pop Said No Foul

They're talking to Pop, not Cuban.

[dbreiden83080]

ha, popovitch says proper no call

Unlike Phil he doesn't whine about that shit to the press, he keeps it in house and to the refs themselves

[turiaf for president]

"if i was the official i wouldnt have called that a foul"

[timvp]

Both teams played hard.

[akula488]

The MVP only gets 6 FT attempts in 4 games. if you have gripes about that non-call on the clear foul, just think about that sentence over and over.

[lakersownspurs]

Well, Pop just said "It was a proper non-call"

:pctoss Sometimes I hate this guy.

HAHA!!! That's funny!!:lol

[Don Quixote]

I thought it was rather obvious.

Kobe, or anyone is a Lakers jersey, gets that call.

[ipeefreely]

Cheated. I saw the foul. That was a 3 point FT. I SAW IT. Gipped. That sucks!!!!!!

U are a sorry mistake for an NBA fan...:lol

and how Madam Butterfly do you explain Kobe getting exactly ZERO trips to the charity stripe when he averages 10 plus a game? U cant can U..:bang

Lick you wounds you are done, and your team is in decline and headed for a long run of ping pong balls.......:lmao

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

ha, popovitch says proper no call

Pop will never call out the refs for anything. That's what I expected him to say.

But it's bullshit.

[lolz]

I guess you guys missed the part where Jackson said the call before it was pretty much bs. If it wasn't for the shotclock eff up it wouldn't have let the Spurs get into that opportunity.

Oh yeah, Pop wouldn't call that foul either. :lol:lol:toast:toast

[Shank]

TNT: Foul, but not in act of shooting. Should have "sold" it more.
Barry: No foul
Kobe: No foul
Pop: No foul
Phil: Foul

[KillerBee]

Pop just came out and said it "was not a foul...it was a good no call...if he was the ref, he would not have called it".

[SPARKY]

Of course he'd say that.

On to Game 5.

[dallaskd]

I just hate how fans bitch because players flop and then when brent is a man and doesnt flop he gets looked down on? so now laker fans are saying if hes smart he would have flopped. but had barry flopped you guys would be pissed and wouldve called the spurs flopping little bitches. fuck that shit. he didnt need to sell anything. he was clearly fouled.

[watertorture]

Well, Pop just said "It was a proper non-call"


And the Spurs never would use Tim having 103 fever as an excuse either.

[E20]

Actually Barry should have given it to Robert Horry he was open. That would have been one for the ages. Old man Horry hasn't made a shot in all the playoffs and fucking buries a three to win it. LMAO ...................fuck

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Well, Pop just said "It was a proper non-call"

:pctoss Sometimes I hate this guy.

Too funny.



NBA sure is a strange league sometimes.

[T Park]

Guess the Spurs have packed it in for the summer then.

[dbreiden83080]

Well, Pop just said "It was a proper non-call"

:pctoss Sometimes I hate this guy.

It doesn't matter. So he yells and says we got fucked over and it still won't matter

This just sucks

[TheMACHINE]

refs just evening out thier mistake of not reseting the shotclock on fishers shot

[Lakers_55]

Wow Pop Said No Foul

yeah, and if he was an official, he wouldn't have called a foul either. the officials didn't, so up to everyone else to debate. Can't turn back the clock, it's over.

[Purple & Gold]

It's up to the officials to call the game. What's the point in even having them if the players have to overact for them to see it. Spurs deserved to lose, but not like that. Derek Fisher is the biggest piece of shit in the NBA.

Barry fucked up, as a spurs fan you should know you gotta sell a call. spurs were doing it all game. Barry should have never put the ball on the floor, it was a 2 shot foul, and Fisher's shot hit the rim. Lots of finger pointing to go around.

[SpurAddict561]

He's a basketball politician of course he said that

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Thanks NBA :tu You freed up ~96 nights for me next year, I am done with WWBBall.

[Budkin]

Sometimes Pop needs to shed the bullshit "no excuses" act and stand the fuck up for this team.

[lakersownspurs]

I thought it was rather obvious.

Kobe, or anyone is a Lakers jersey, gets that call.


:cry

[turiaf for president]

??? then he was asked are you saying that just its the right thing to say or the right call. same response

[zepn]

Wow. Stern has Pop's balls too.

[whottt]

OK you are down by four and Barry shoots 3 shots IF the refs make that call. You STILL lose by one... HELLO??


I could easily see the Refs missing that call...a grazed rim. Blatantly jumping on to a dude...that doesn't wash.

2 shot foul minimum.

[ShoogarBear]

ha, popovitch says proper no call

That's called having class. You haven't seen any of that coming from your coach before.

[GSH]

Both of them saying it was a non-issue. Compare that to Phildo Jackson at the half.

Barry and Pop can lose like men. Phildo and Kobe can't even win like men.

[cecil collins]

It is definitely a foul under normal circumstances. Non-shooting foul though because Barry was dribbling when Fisher came down on him. However, Kobe Bryant, who averages 10 FTs a game and is the 2007-2008 MVP, only has SIX free throw attempts in FOUR freaking games. SIX free throws in FOUR games. If the MVP can only get SIX free throw attemps in FOUR games, I don't see any reason the ref would give a BENCH player FTs in the last seconds of the game.

First off, it shouldn't matter who the player is, a foul is a foul. Kobe didn't deserve the MVP, if you go by impact, it was Paul, by numbers, it was Lebron.

[turiaf for president]

refs just evening out thier mistake of not reseting the shotclock on fishers shot

+1 i was just about to say that
