If the situation was reversed, and Barry hit the game winning shot after the gift possession you guys got, I would give you guys an * as well. Crawford kept the Spurs in the game in the 1st half.
I'm done with this bull . Laker fans will continue to delude themselves into thinking that they won a fairly called game no matter what sort of reasoning/evidence that you bring to the table.
I'm out. that call.
With that said, GO SPURS GO. Win game #5 and you make it a series again, guys.

Exactly, that 's the only point I was making (not that Kobe has been to the free throw line a lot in this seriees as some tried to claim).
You brought one ing call to the table where I can bring up a slew of calls in the SPURS favor that kept them in the ball game. So, please stop your ing.
being a crybaby.
Maybe if Pop actually held the refs accountable for calling a fair game, instead of "not making excuses", the league would stop ing the Spurs.
Phil is that you?
LOL
If letting Duncan tapdance to the hoop from the foul line, a legit block by Odom being called a goaltend, no signal to reset the shotclock after Fisher hit the rim, and Kobe not shooting a single freethrow in spite of being guarded by the most physical (and best) perimeter defender on the planet is your definition of " ing the Spurs" then you are seriously ed in the head there buddy
What? A team who was won 4 les in the last 9 years has been getting ed by the league? outta here with that nonsensical bull . Duncan's balls are coddled and massaged by the referees every time he goes into the lane. Ginobili and Parker get away with blatant travels at least 6 times (each) a game, and you are complaining about getting ed?
I immediately thought it was a foul on Fisher.
Although the previous possession the Lakers' shot did hit the rim, I honestly saw that right away, what I was not sure about was who touched the ball last.
What caused the Spurs to lose was that they came out and dug themselves a hole, and were utterly pathetic on the boards in the 1st half. The Lakers were getting way too many second chance points...which is a key part of good "D". Getting beat on the boards like that will kill your chances almost all of the time.
Doesn't help us to 2-2.
(Assuming of course, that Brent hits the FT's, either the 2 or the 3)
But yes, it was nice (if ineffectual).
What a bunch of whiners these spurs fans are. We own you guys but Joey kept you in all game long. Than you blame him for the loss even though you shouldn't have been in the game at the end.
@Commissioner Stern.
I agree.. Kobe, Lebron, Duncan, et al do not get that call.. BUT NOT DWYANE WADE! Game 5 of the '06 finals!
Honestly I'm disappointed in *some* of you Spurs fans (happy now Samikeye?).
How any of you could honestly watch that game and think the refs handed that win to LA is beyond me. The entire game the Lakers were on the wrong side of the calls, that 1st quarter was absolutely atrocious officiating. I posted such in the game thread after the 1st quarter, and Phil Jackson was straight livid in his in-game interview. Whatever pts Barry could have gotten off of a potential call would have been negated by the litany of calls against the Lakers in the 1st quarter if the game were officiated fairly from the start.
The bottomline is any time you put yourself in a situation to have the refs decide the game you are going to be disappointed more often than not.
Joey Crawford....in trying to stay away from being accused of having an ax to grind with the Spurs....was afraid to blow his whistle all nigh long against the Spurs. If Joey calls a normal game Lakers win by 10-15 minimum.
Mafiaoso Go'fer, David Stern and his gay boyfriend, BallLESS Joey Crawford, are going to give the LA Fakes another championship in order to repay Phil JackASS for allowing Rapist Kobe to stay with LA. The good thing is now the LA Fakes will have their own *ASSterisk* for all eternity...ya gotta love it!
**************
u guys are just talking about fisher foul, what about the shot that fisher shot wit 6.9, we were suppose to get a new sot clock so you see refs were messed up in that game so it evens out at the end.
We allowed the league to lose its integrity within the officiating, when we accepted that certain players get certain calls.
The so called "Superstar Treatment" is now just something that is accepted around the league by players, coaches, referees, NBA brass, and fans.
A foul is a foul. A violation is a violation. Call them regardless of the player, time, or situation of the game!
We taste how it feels for the Suns
ALL THE TIME
Agreed. Stern put him in a hard situation in such a huge game with in a hostile crowd. Gotta admire Crawford for coming back to the nba after getting unfairly cheated caused by Duncan's mocking of him.
To be honest, I think the Spurs get the benefit of the doubt a lot from the refs. They have a reputation of being a lockdown defensive team and that goes a long way IMHO. Clearly you guys don't notice it because it's always been that way, but if you compare a team that doesn't have the reputation of being a defensive team they aren't allowed to get away with many ticky tack fouls.

Actually, you're right. Joey must have been thinking "I bend over backwards to call a fair game for the Spurs and this jumps up with 2 seconds left to publicly humiliate me. . . . Again."
Television replays indicated that Fisher's shot with 6.9 seconds to go grazed the rim before bouncing out of bounds off of Robert Horry's leg, meaning that the Lakers should have had a new shot clock instead of asking Kobe Bryant to hurry a fadeaway jumper after the ensuing timeout.
