Stein: League acknowledges Spurs' Barry was fouled

[spurastic]

Go blow it out yer ass, wad

How about the Duncan travel?

How about Odom's clean block that was called a goaltend?

How about the shotclock not resetting?

How about Kobe having 0 free throws despite being guarded by the most physical perimeter defender on the planet?

You really are dim........

[Fake Dynasty]

Spurs fans are just brainwashed because aside from the Spurs and that dirty-ass Riverwalk, there's absolutely nothing to do in San Antonio except leave that to go somewhere else for fun. Therefore, Spurs fan is often a somewhat deranged mutha a who believes his team can do no wrong.

Even when the Spurs win les, they're jealous of the Lakers - it's just in their blood.

No kidding!!!!!

Even when the Spurs win les, they're jealous of the Lakers - it's just in their blood.

Even when the Lakers win, their fans whine about spurfans and post on their board because they are envious - it's just in their blood.

Incredible. You actually went through the trouble of creating an ID with "San Antonio" as your favorite team just to bash San Antonio. Can you say "no life"?

[Ghost Writer]

I told you people that there should have been 2 free throws.

[Saguaro]

The apology:

Dear Spurs,

We're sorry that you're so old that you've started decomposing in place. Please accept our gift of embalming fluids. Also, catch the Lakers in the NBA Finals on ABC, starting June 5!

[SpurOutofTownFan]

I LOVE THE FACT THAT THE REFS ARE TAKING A BIG FAT LONG PURPLE AND GOLD LAKER , AND SCREWING THE OUT OF THE SPURS AND THEIR FANS!!!

There's a button in your keyboard called "Caps Lock". You are welcome to use it any time.

how about you go yourself???

Perhaps the Spurs could have been just a little more ruthless and protested the call. Not that it would have mattered, but we do seem to have toughness "gap" sometimes.

You think PJ would have just rolled over if the situation was reversed? Or Pat Riley? Red Auerbach?

I'm almost as pissed by the Spurs reaction to this travesty as I am to the blown call itself. F that "we didn't deserve to win" BS.

The Spurs got outplayed for most of the game but The REFS put us in a position to win. But the refs (by virtue of the blown call) did not even allow us to get a decent shot off.

Fixed

[Mj23foreva]

you're not the league, the governing body acknowledges one and only one missed call all the rest in its opinion were fine

The governing body also acknowledges that the Lakers won game 4, now STFU

[Mj23foreva]

played better? almost lost game 1 and only ended up winning by 4/5. getting blown out in game 3 and almost losing game 4. you have ONE quality win, a blow out yes, but your fakers got blown out too.

lemme ask you this, would you want to trade places with the lakers right now up 3-1 and have "ONE quality win"? If so take your comment and shove it back up your ass.

and youve got to be kidding me about the scheduling thing. The Lakers closed in 6, the Spurs closed in 7. Its the Spurs fault for closing it in 7. If they wanted freaking rest why couldnt they have taken care of the Hornets in 6??? Dont give that well the Hornets are better than the Jazz crap. Then your team shouldve tried harder in the regular season and get 1st seed like the lakers. Regular season matters now doesnt it?

[jaysmooth422]

you're*

It's just like a fight. You are a MORON if you leave it up to the judges at the end.

The Spurs blew a 20 ing point lead in game 1. The refs did not help the Lakers back in that game.

In game 4, the Spurs go in yet ANOTHER scoring drought. Big surprise. They had numerous chances to hit a big shot and get the lead/momentum and they missed ALL OF THEM. Tough .

ing homers. Only a weak minded person can blame this loss on the refs.

what do you mean the refs didnt help the lakers in that game? how bout that final possesion at the end of the game when manu got tackled by odom no foul was called yet the lakers get sent to the foul line to make a four point game and the game is secured.

[Mj23foreva]

and btw imatroll...the "lead" ya'll blew started with kobe trying to be the hero, missing that runner which led to us cutting the lead to 2. Cutting the lead from 6 to 2 in the span of less than 1 minute = blowing it. what game were you watching?

Blowing a lead means giving it up fool. When were the lakers ever down?????? A 2 point lead is still a lead. A lead is not blown until the team is down.

However you can restate it as ALMOST blowing a lead. That would be correct.

I saw many travels in the game, not just Duncan's, so it evens out.

Obviously after looking at the replay the ball hadn't hit the backboard yet, but it was probably way too close to tell at game speed. The ball was REALLY close to the backboard so the ref probably couldn't have told the difference between block and goaltend.

Fisher's shot did NOT hit the rim.

Just because Bowen is a physical defender doesn't mean they have to call a foul on him. If this was 10 years ago, half the calls nowadays would be considered "love taps". The NBA and the refs are making this a soft league, and half of the stuff that Bowen gets called for wouldn't have been called a decade ago.

[Mr. Body]

Wow. That's four posts in a row from somebody claiming to be a Knicks fan.

[smeagol]

Spurs lost this game on the court.

Refs had to do with the loss.

Well, that's not entirely true...

Refs had SOMEthing to do with it. By the NBA's own admission.

[Red Hawk #21]

This league is ed up, first a ref screws you over then they apologize later knowing that their apology wont change jack . Nothing knew with this stuff, just play through it Spurs. It wont be fair but if you play with heart you can overcome the refs and David Stern...

[Indazone]

Apology too late and too little. Stern the finger is pointing directly at you now.

[Commissioner Stern]

Wow. I guess now you guys know how Phoenix fans feel after the suspension of Amare Stoudemire and Diaw last year.

You're ing about a last second. Those players lost an entire game.

Hypocrites.

[cash459]

why dont the laker fans want to talk about the travel by kobe in the 4th qtr. they seem to be real anxious to talk about the "travel" by Tim.....

[kungfu]

Apologize? For what? Wow the NBA really holds the Spurs on a pedestal wtf would they apologize to the Spurs and never to the Lakers? I never heard of NBA apologizing to any teams until now.
