I can see why they are upset. It usually is a no call at the end of games. I would not have been mad had he NOT got the call. He was aggressive and got rewarded, but I have seen much worse than that let go.
Why the are the Warriors commentators still whining about the foul. Turiaf clearly had body contact and it was a foul.
But a non call would've been fair in these situations.

it was a bad call but im a Spurs fan and I'll take it
Yeah i though it was a pretty bad call to make in the final seconds of the game..
I would be pissed if that happened against the Spurs.
Shoulda been a no call, but I'll take it
Manu got the benefit of hte doubt because he was driving like a demon all night.
It only looked bad on the replay to the announcers. I couldn't tell if he didn't draw contact or not when he drove and even THE announcers assumed he was fouled until the replay showed he wasn't so they should just shut up. Refs are blind. the sky is blue.
Spurs are lucky to get this win!
Kinda like the Manu foul on Dirk in the 2006 playoffs - that sent the game to OT. Only thing - the Spurs were the Warriors that night!
at the end of Reg. they were crying hard about the call
I almost felt uneasy about it.
I don't understand that logic. So it's okay to foul, just as long as it's at the end of the game ala brent barry foul circa 2008? that.
Yeap, I do honestly didn't see that foul clearly, anyhow Manu got the famous star treatment
You might not understand (justifiably) but that is the way it works.
They were such whiny es. Yea it was a bad foul, it happened. Move on and try to win the game.
Yeap, if LBJ or KB were guarding Manu, that would have been a clear offensive foul because Manu's nose is too big![]()
it was one of those they weren't going to call if the shot went in fouls. The whistle was a little late
I always grasp my breath whenever Manu drives to the basket. I just have that feeling that he might hurt his knee again.
He should save some of his drives for the playoffs.
It's what he does.
It's what Brent should have done in Game 4 last year, force the officials to make a call.
Didn't look like much of a foul but Manu did a good job accentuating the contact. That's one of those fouls you don't like if it happens against your team.
But I'll take it![]()
from the replay I saw Manu just lost his footing, but I only saw it once so I can't be sure.
If Manu had made that baket, no foul would be called.
BTW I need pills to sleep![]()
It would've been bad had the game been already tied and they gave Manu the foul and the freethrows to win the game. But this just put the game into OT and the Warriors had just as good a chance as the Spurs did to win the game - especially after Timmy fouled out.
I've seen Wade have a lot more egregious ones. And Kobe get those calls a couple times with his "verbal flops"
