The Official Barry Fouled By Fisher Thread

[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 bull .

[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.

[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 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 es. that . 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 ing buries a three to win it. LMAO ...................

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

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.

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

This just sucks

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 in the NBA.

Barry ed 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 You freed up ~96 nights for me next year, I am done with WWBBall.

[Budkin]

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

[lakersownspurs]

I thought it was rather obvious.

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

[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... O??

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 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.

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.
