Look at the TNT video - see the old bald guy on the sideline. That is Joey Crawford. He blew it. The Lakers and NBA office celebrate. They get what they want.
to me it was just a wierd last minute of officiating. and a tough one too. overall i think they did a pretty bad job.
yes fishers shot hit the rim, and yes parker did get fouled and goaltended. but to not see that barry got BLATANTLY fouled, was just really strange and really screams out conspiracy from spurs fans. idk, i havent felt this wierd since .4 seconds.
spurs will force a game 7.....from there, idk

Harry, did you think Barry moved both feet prior to dribbling?
Yes or no?
And did you think the layup attempt by Parker was a goaltend?
Yes or no?
Did you think Fisher's shot with 5 seconds left hit the rim?
Yes or no?
The answer key is as follows: Yes, No, Yes
He should've passed to Finley immediately. I was screaming at him to pass it to him. As much as I hate what Fin brings (or doesn't bring), I'm pretty sure he would've hit that shot.
No, yes, and yes.
See? We agreed on something.![]()
Ahh Lanny...always they I see.
Like no one couldn't see the Celts Lakers Finals coming a mile off...
Amazing how the officiating is never bad when the Lakers win...right Mr. Conspiracy Therory? Not even when it's the most obviously blatant no call in NBA history.
Idiot...you can't jump on a ing player shooting the ball...it is not a clean play, it is a foul, foul, foul, foul, foul with absolutely no other interpretation...you cannot jump on the mother er shooting the ball...or someone would do it at the end of every game.
Do people do it at the end of every game? No idiot they do not, because it is a ing foul.
Take your tainted win and stick it up your ass... of Stern.
Fixed it for ya. Dumbass. Maybe as consolation Barry will win a charity golf tournament this summer. At least he'll be champion of something. Maybe he'll even repeat next summer too![]()
Oh you ing Spur s would be ing about something else if wasn't for that last play. Always an excuse, always a conspiracy when the Spurs don't win. Bunch of predictable tools.
You're just a bunch of whiny es. Always have been, always will be.
Fisher's shot hit the rim conspiracy dumb s.
You are one of the more reasonable posters here.
The goaltend play was really a close call. But a Laker fan slowed down the video to snail speed and Odom did contact the ball just before it hit the backboard. Thus, it should not have been called a goaltend.
However, that play happened at a very fast speed and was so close it had to be slowed down electronically to tell for sure.
The official who made that call? Joey Crawford. Hmmm.
Fisher's shot did hit the rim, actually fairly obviously. Again, from the overhead camera view it cannot even be debated. So I don't know what in the world the refs were thinking on that one, just a horrible missed call at the most crucial time of the game. Lakers would have been able to likley inbound the ball to Kobe and Spurs would have been forced to foul.
And I have to mention that Ginobili's late three also should have been a two as his foot was clearly on the line. So that is three blown missed calls in your team's favor in just the last minute!
Barry's travel was at least as obvious as Fisher's foul and you are in fantasy land to think a ref is going to call that 35 feet from the basket to decide the game. Although I am surprised Crawford didn't actually, he was fixing so hard all game for SA that would have been the final cherry on the cake.
Yes because all Spurs fans think alike.
Go ahead and ignore the fact that I was just agreeing with a Laker fan. Yeah, that's whining.
Thank you. I don't agree that Barry was traveling but it really doesn't matter. All that does is the final score and the Lakers were on top.![]()
I'll take that as you either didn't view the video link I posted or somehow don't think Barry moved both feet before dribbling.
Either way, he did and your team got what it deserved after trailing at home the entire game despite the refs doing everything humanly possible to keep you in it.
You know what dude, good for you. Who cares. There's 28 pages of disphit Spurs fans saying otherwise, who cares about your ONE ing post disagreeing.
to you as well.
If it is any consolation, I thought the Lakers were very fortunate (even lucky) to win Game 1 so this series could easily be 2-2 right now.
That's why I wanted the Hornets all along, I knew this series would be a very hard fought one as the Spurs have a lot of compe ive players who don't quit.
ROFL @ A Laker Fan who thinks the NBA conspires against the Lakers. I think that's the definition of lunacy in the dictionary. Every year the Lakers don't win the championship, that costs the NBA hundreds of millions of dollars.
The NBA isn't rigged. But to anyone who thinks it is or ever was rigged against the Lakers is in desperate need of a reality check. If there's one team in sport that can be confident that the refs aren't trying to make them lose, it's the Los Angeles Lakers. When the commissioner comes out and says he wishes every Finals could be Lakers vs. Lakers, that's when it's time to retire the tin hat.
Barry's play was the determining factor. He was fouled. At full speed it is extremely difficult to see the feet especially with Fisher initiating contact. Once again, for the third time, when the Spurs try to defend their le, an official's action or inaction clearly INFLUENCES the outcome.
and on those pages there are just as many fans agreeing with me.
hey, not my fault that you lack the ability to not lump all of a fan base as being of one mindset.
No Fisher's supposed airball was the determining factor genius. But Spurs fans only look at the world through their black and silver glasses, and live their lives based on conspiracies when their team doesn't win.
Seriously...the Lakers have won 8 les and played in 12 something finals since Stern became the commish...
Was he always corrupt according to Lanny or is it just when the Lakers don't win?
and the generalizations continue.
Even though several of us agreed with you about Fisher's shot.
And what about Lanny's talk of conspiracies? Oh...wait, that's different.
Wow several of you, that's just wonderful. I hope you are proud of yourselves.
Thank you for your response. In real time, I didn't notice the travel at first either and the goaltending call was so close that it could have gone either way....unfortunately for my team it went the wrong way but that one I could understand.
But missing the ball hitting the rim or Manu's foot being on the line is fishy. It just seems three refs should be able to see things that obvious.
Considering the Lakers never trailed in the game, I think it is a bit hard for the Spurs fans to feel too outraged about it, it isn't like the game was back and forth with a lot of lead changes or anything.....have a good evening.
So you when Spurs fans don't see it your way, and you when they do? You can't have it both ways. Hey, those Spurs fans who whine and about officiating and blame that as the only reason SA loses, I agree with you about them, but its not all of us. Its a very vocal minority.
