The Official Barry Fouled By Fisher Thread

[CharlieMac]

Holy . Phil Jackson just admitted that Fisher fouled Barry.

That's ing 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 did Fisher jump into him then? Bad no call.

[dallaskd]

this is how we felt in the 06 finals. i hope the pistons 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]

I don't know what's more shocking; The Non-Call or the fact that so many in 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?

Fisher and the Lakers in 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 ing jumping onto a dude.

[akula488]

It is definitely a foul under normal cir stances. 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.

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 . Phil Jackson just admitted that Fisher fouled Barry.

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

[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.

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 ty 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 ing 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


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 ed 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 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 like this.

[GuerillaBlack]

That was a bull 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.
