The Official Barry Fouled By Fisher Thread

[E.O.A.O.]

No he's not. I have said that in about 10 threads since yesterday. So have many other Spurs fans.

Good. Then maybe these other people will agree.

That's a loser's mindset though. You don't go into a last second play looking to create a foul. You go into the play looking to make a basket because you are confident enough in your ability to hit a game-tying or game-winning shot.

I seriously doubt that Barry's intention was to get a fould called. He actually tried pump-faking in order to go around Fisher to get a cleaner and closer look at the basket, but Fisher jumped up and into him, instead of just jumping straight up, in which case Barry wouldn't have been hit and he would have been able to succesfully get to a closer spot on the foor for the winner.

Bottom line,
Barry made the right play.
Fisher made the wrong play.
Yet, Fisher/Lakers get rewarded.

It was an inexplicable non-call.

That stuff gets called ALL THE TIME. In fact, refs hand the foul out on these kinds of plays so liberally - even when the offensive player initiates all the contact - I thought it'd be a for sure foul, like it should have, and would have, had the refs just decided to be fair.

Are you still just choosing to ignore:
1. Odom's block was just that..a block...yet it was called goal-tending
2. Fishers shot hit the rim, yet the shot clock was reset givin the Spurs one last shot.
3. Barry traveled on that last play prior to contact
4. Manu was on the line when he hit that "3"...should have been a "2"

Selective memory rules in San Antonio!

HEs the only fan that actually realized they were getting favored by the refs throughout the game.

It's still a travel nimrod.

So players should be called for violations forced by someone fouling them. Brilliant.

[MateoNeygro]

Spurs can still win the series ya'll!! It was a foul on fisher but barry wasn't shooting yet so at best it would have been overtime. The Spurs have lost 2 very frustrating games this series but I still feel they can pull this off.

[MateoNeygro]

Oh Yah And The Lakers Especially Derek in Fisher

He traveled while anticipating the contact.
So, it was a travel. Just another no-call for the Spurs.

[carib]

Can we end this who cares we got beat, grow some legs and get a rebound.

[MateoNeygro]

Leave it to Laker fans to love a rapist. If the Spurs get ousted i'mma personally burn down the whole ty smoggy fake city of Los Angeles...NO WAIT the LA fans will do it for me. ASS CLOWNS

[carib]

If we are crying over this game when we got out played, what are you going to cry about when we loose this series.

[WCFBaby]

Oh Yah And The Lakers Especially Derek in Fisher

Go pick some strawberries.

I don't care who was being favored by what...you can't just jump on a guy taking the last shot of the game. That's a foul.

And unless I've missed something somwhere along the way in the 1500 basketball games I've watched...it's never been allowed before.


But I say great...any time someone is taking the last shot of the game, you just jump on them. That's the way it is now...



Kobe pulling up...you just ing jump on him, body block him, so he can't take the shot.


Simple...I can't believe we were so stupid as to never realize you can just jump on the guy shooting the ball.


Just think of all those game winning shots in NBA history...all the opposing teams had to do, was simply jump on the guy shooting the ball.


Phil = genius.


I'll miss the era when players were actually allowed to take game winning shots...but never let it be said I stood in the way of progress...jump on the guy shooting the ball...that's all you got to do.



Just think...if only those guy's had jumped on Jordan as he was shooting all those game winners. Now we know...you just jump on the guy shooting the ball.

I can't verify 1 or 4. I haven't seen the replays enought times. As for Barry's travel - sorry but he didn' travel.

There is a difference between a missed call and a bad call.

Missed call - 1,2,3.
Bad call: non-call at the end of regulation

[mexicanjunior]

on the last play. Have you seen or heard anyone from the media agree with your travel assesment? Any links of audio or video of media proclaiming the travel occured? Just curious...

[whottt]

Lakerfans...will you guys miss Kobe taking game winners? I mean...according to you guys it's just totally ok for someone to jump on him as he is trying to get the shot off....which means you have likely seen the last game winning shot attempt by Kobe. Just jump on him...

Never have to be worried about game winning shot again, you just jump on the guy shooting the ball.


Brilliant.

The NBA is really going to go places with this rule.

[Ronaldo McDonald]

Barry did not travel: This is a stupid fabrication by LA fans hoping to justify in their minds the horrible no call at the end. He clearly did not travel.

Keep whining lil !

[the_franchise]

you guys are some cry babies, look at the repaly, barry traveled before putting the ball down. he moved both feet before dribbling, which is a travel. so it all evens out. and you idiots trying to say its conspiracy need to shut the up, you guys are just old and slow, and the lakers are better, more athletic, and hungrier. you guys choked game 1 away and now you're paying for it, it coulda, woulda, and shoulda been 2-2 but now its 3-1. get over it, and talk all you want about coming back next year, it will only get worse because we got bynum coming back. if we had a healthy bynum and a healthy ariza playing this year we would've swept you guys.

[whottt]

I'll remember the days fondly when clutch was a part of the game...


But let's face it, just jumping on the guy shooting the ball is an advancement in the game.



Can you believe how stupid the Trailblazers were on the MDM? All they had to do was just jump on Elliott...they just should have jumped on him. Game over.

Put an * by this game.
