The Official Barry Fouled By Fisher Thread

[DazedAndConfused]

Lamar Odom with the clean block. Look guys, bad calls were made this entire game. The Lakers outplayed the Spurs and deserved to win.

ing about this foul is just lame.

Refs, as every human beings, made mistakes. They made a mistake on that play but a game is 48min long and it wasn't the first of the night.

Thinking that they didn't call the foul on that play because of Stern or because Crawford hates SA makes no sense. If someone wanted to rigged the NBA, it would be done by refs giving a slight edge to Lakers during the 48 min because it is way more efficient and discreet.

Spurs lost this game. It is painful as but deal with that.
There are tons of reason why they did it.

[Pistons < Spurs]

It damn sure did dude...Barry could not get a good shot off because Derek Fisher jumped on him...and there was absolutely no doubt about it.




You can't jump on someone at the end of the game to stop them from shooting.



Are you saying this happens alot?


Are you saying players should be allowed to jump on players to prevent them from shooting?


That is what you are saying.


It should at least have to be a close foul...not a motheru er jumping on someone to prevent them from shooting.



Fine...it's now ok to jump on players at the end of games and not expect a foul.

Noted.


That;s what you guys are saying. You can just jump on him...just flat out jump on them.

reading comprehension....

I said the play should have never occurred.

The clock should have reset on the other end. they'd have dribbled out the clock, or you'd have put them on the line. Either case, it'd be game over. Barry would have never had the ball in his hands.

Parker didn't get fouled. Now your just grasping at straws.

dude, the entire TNT cast just said it too. That was an and 1, but who cares. Brent should of had a chance to tie it from the line. BTW, I think it's 50/50 he sends it to OT. If the lakers were the better team, OT would have been no problem. Nevertheless, it's not the Lakers fault. They played well and deserved the win. Joey doesn't deserve a freakin job.

[AJ Golf]

OK, in reality the Spurs have a 3-1 lead, but officially the Lakers have the 3-1 ... thanks in no small part to Joey Freakin' Crawfish ...

As they are saying on NBA-TV and TNT, the Spurs are, and always have been, a class act.

NEWS FLASH POP --- Being classy isn't going to win the

Barry was fouled. There is no doubt. But, so was Parker on the earlier play, and so were players on either side.

What I'm waiting for is the FINE from the NBA to Phil Jackson for his comments to Craig Sager that the officials were the reason that the Spurs had closed the 14 point deficit. But it ain't gonna happen.

I love my San Antonio Spurs, and this being a season of breaking all the "traditions", they CAN win 3 straight to take the Western Conference ...

[SpursDynasty]

Pop and the Spurs could totally make a case out of this if they wanted to given it was a no call by Joey Crawford (who has no business refereeing a Spurs playoff game). But they appear to have a no complain policy as Barry and Pop both said there was no foul.

[1Parker1]

This is why I despise the NBA.

Yes, the Spurs probably shouldn't have even been in that position to get the ball back with 5.2 seconds left. Yes, there were plenty of bad calls gone both ways throughout the game that probably balanced out that last non-call.

But don't sit there and ing tell me that if it was Dwayne Wade or Kobe Bryant taking that shot, they wouldn't have been at the FT line. You can debate it all you want, but referees look at the player and team and get biased. I've seen those players get fouls called for a lot less contact. Not only that, but I absolutely love how ing TNT and ESPN are making this out to be a good call. I guarantee you that if that had been Kobe or DWade, they would be all over it. But because it happened to a 37 year old role player, he's not going to get the call and he has to sell it "extra" hard to the refs?

Makes ZERO sense to me.

[DazedAndConfused]

Clean block by Lamar.

[TheMACHINE]

Congrats on earning your asterik for 2008 Lakers...good luck against the Celtics\Pistons and finishing off a tainted year....

Thanks!

[watertorture]

When you look at it for the eleventh time, you'll see what actually happened.

See that's the difference here.

If it would take the refs 11 times to see some iffy lay to make a call, it's a good no-call.

If the Everyone sees a foul and no one calls it, there's a problem.

go back to ing about how the lakers cheated and got Gasol you panzi ass.

Spurs got robbed at the end and you go running to the defense of the Lakers?

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

it's funny listening to Faker fans trying to pretend like they dont know that their team is nothing without the favour of the refs.


NBA is the worst reffed sport in the world...... no wonder Stern is a rich man. I think the WWF is less predictable than the NBA when it comes to the WCF.

[KillerBee]

Foul gets called.. barry makes both free throws we def win in overtime at home..

game 5 the FAKERS are so upset we steal one from them at home and take it back to SA to finish the series..

I highly doubt either east team would have a shot vs us with the confidence we'd be riding after being near dead and then coming back winning tonights game and then the series!!

I am sooooooooo pissed!!

1 freaking no call just cost us a le

is there anyway we can protest the game.. this is beyond ridiculous and i will never watch NBA again.

Bad call, but you are being a little presumptuous. Ya didn't have a chance in this series. You are just going to lose quicker now.

[2centsworth]

Clean block by Lamar.

you are the biggest dumbass I've ever seen on this board. the ball touches the backboard first.

[Mamba24]

Well, Fisher did foul him on the last play but Fisher's shot on the previous possession hit the rim which means the Lakers should have had the ball with 5 seconds left after it went off Horry. Joey Crawford was overcompensating for throwing Duncan out last season and gave A LOT of calls in the Spurs favor. Duncan's dunk in the 2nd quarter was a blatant travel, I could go on and on.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

the bottom line is this - the foul was a foul - you are jumping on a dude, sitting in his neck so to not allow him to shoot. that is a foul, whether you call it or not that's a different game.

but that's a foul any place in the world. it was a savvy veteran play by derek "the chidren-eater" fisher - karma has will continue to catch with him.

[1Parker1]

And for the record, I do agree that the Spurs shouldn't have won this game. They didn't deserve to. All those missed opportunities when Kobe and company were clanking shots in the 4th quarter. All those missed defensive rebounds. Spurs didn't deserve to win.

But as a fan, I'd like to watch some ing consistency in this league, and not just blind and blatant homerism by the refs. I'm tired of superstars getting the benefit of the call, always. Heck, I think that if that had been Ginobili instead of Barry he probably would have gotten the call.

[watertorture]

has one call lost the series for the spurs? no...just one game...

That one call and one game is the difference between a tied series and a 3-1 hole.

I agree with that it wasn't going to get called the fact that Crawford was there and it was an obvious foul (not one that would get called in that situation) should add to the storm in the next two days, just cause it was crawford.

[gemfow]

I'm a lakers' fan and you guys are right, that was a foul without a doubt, he should have went to the line for two, not three free throws because when Fish came down on him, he wasn't shooting at that time.

Actually the refs missed two things, Lamar actually blocked Tony Parker's layup, he got it a second before it hit the backboard, that was not suppose to count like it did, the slo-mo showed it was a good block, so I guess you can say they cancelled each other out.

Considering Horry was being held and no foul was call, it's hard to see that being even for an obvious no call on Barry...I guess the Lakers can finally get their asterik championship...

Barry didn't get the call. Kobe (one of the top 3 MVP candidates) got 6 FTA in 4 games. Yes, the REFS are ed up both ways.
Sp*r fans have no excuses.

[DazedAndConfused]

Why is everyone ignoring the fact that Lamar got a clean block and Fisher's shot hit the rim?

[lakersownspurs]

Idiot, it ing wasn't.

It was a goaltend, remember???
