    again, the folks saying this was not a foul are completely wrong, and there is no OPINION about it. If it is a foul, then the rules say it should be called a foul. If you are not going to call a foul in certain situations, then the rule books have to be changed. There has to be something added to the rule book such as, "A foul will not be called unless the offensive players sells that foul good enough in the refs opinion". Wouldn't this make for a fine rule change? It was a foul according to any rational interpretation of the rule book, NO SELLING NEEDED. If selling is needed, Then it SHOULD state this in the rule book. His body was hit hard enough for his head to jerk sideways. That was a foul, it should have been called a foul according to the rule book. What some don't seem to understand is there IS NO OPINION ABOUT IT. The rule book doesn't allow for opinion. The body hit clearly falls within the parameters of what a foul is. IT WAS A FOUL. No ranting about refs deciding the game, about selling the foul, none of that has any meaning at all unless you make it relevant in the rule book. As the rule book goes, it was a FOUL. No opinion can change that simple truth.

    The video is not a foul. Was James' body moved in any way from that *caress*? no. Watch James body. Nothing altered his movement at all, which means the defender simply rubbed him, there was no grab there, and no altering of his movement or body motion at all. His shot was unimpeded. Clearly this has nothing in common with last night, which clearly falls within the parameters of a foul, no opinion about it.

    Yes you guys can argue about THE FOUL all day and night but there were plenty of non calls that went for the Spurs and you still never got the lead. Look at the whole game...the Spurs got their share of calls, were at home, Kobe 0 freethrows and they still never had the lead....

    I just find it funny that after all the anti-flop talk this year, now all the media has to say about Fisher's foul is 'Well if Barry wanted the whistle, he should've sold the contact'.

    Can't win for losin' in this world.

    I would disagree.

    The Spurs are playing bad but still good enough to win games 1 and 4 but its because the Lakers are playing so well that SA has been unable to close those games out.

    From another Piston fan, yeah, that was definitely a foul, but the Spurs didn't get robbed. They got beat. It happens sometimes.

    (so does coming back from 3-1. C'mon, Spurs!)

    Its funny that I've seen two different Pistons fans root for the Spurs. Does this mean that they dont fear playing the Spurs as much as the Lakers????

    LOL at Laker fan. Yeah, we are scared of the Lakers. Seems i recall that the Spurs beat us the last time we were in a finals with them. As I recall, uh, the pistons STOMPED the Lakers in to the floor and ground them under their heels the last time they met in the Finals. In Fact, they also swept you the time before that as well. So, let's recap laker fans. Detroit is 8-1 against you the last two times we have met in the finals.

    Piston fans and Spurs fans respect each other, that's all.

    Why would Pistons fans assume Spurs would be easier than the Lakers based on past playoff performances?

    maybe they just want revenge against 2005?

    It was a travesty of a bad call, but we can all deal with it because the Spurs played ty enough to lose. Had the Spurs been up ten the entire game the Lakers made a miraculous late run to take the lead and that non call happened, then IŽd be ready kill. But, yes, it was a terrible blown call, intentional or not. Just ty, utter incompetence.

    I agree with all your stats but I found it weird that Piston fans are going for the Spurs....I rather play Boston then the Pistons personally.. Boston hasnt proved they are tough enough

    Ill admit I think Pistons are the tougher matchup than the Celts but we still have 2 finish the Spurs 1st ...also dont forget Chauncey is not healthy he is a Laker killer ...so IF the Pistons make the Finals i like our chances ...
