Unless it's Dirk, whose team is still needing 1 pt to send the game 7 into overtime. Then it's called.You can go through the annals of time and recollect numerous plays where the offensive player drives through the lane in the last second, gets his wrist slapped or his head knocked and no foul is called. It happens to Lebron James, Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan.
um...back to the subject at hand.
yes, the spurs had their chances to win the game and missed them. that's on the spurs. it shouldn't have come down to the last shot...
BUT IT DID.
If the Spurs are going to be held accountable for their executional inep ude late in the game, WHY SHOULDN'T FISHER HAVE BEEN HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR BITING ON BARRY'S PUMP FAKE?
The league acknowledges it was wrong. There's no question Laker fans. You got away with murder Tuesday night.
Adding salt to the wound. I really hope for a Spurs three-game win streak now more than ever.
Well, lets see here.....kobe got to the line almost 10 times per game for the exact reason that you already stated; the nuggets defense sucks & is practically non-existent. He averaged 16 FTs against Utah, b/c they were the team that fouled the most the entire season, playoffs included.
The Spurs have one of the top 5 defenses in the league & you wonder why kobe isnt getting to the free throw line. Probably b/c they know how to play defense & stay in front of their man & not reach and foul. Take off the yellow & purple glasses & look at the FACTS (and since youre so into them, look at the STATS; ALL of them)
You want me to get you some knee pads to make it more comfortable for you while youre down there showing your "appreciation" for kobe
Even though I agree that should have been a no call (nobody in their right minds would make that call in the playoffs, especially in the WCF, especially when it was Brent Barry, and especially when he wasn't even attempting a shot), it is much better to have the league shut up about it, it's like pouring vinegar and salt with iodine in a gash.
That said, I am ready to see Hulk Ginobili, a pissed off Duncan in Game 5.
Sorry clown, but not even the Spurs defense is that good. I just find it funny that Spurs fans even have the nerve to about calls when your own coach said that it was a no call and that he wouldn't have called a foul on that play.
<<--- Spurs fans
if there are any "clowns" in here, its you ass-clown. I didnt about it being a "no call" so get over yourself and pull your head out of your ass. But yes, the Spurs defense IS and can be that good.Sorry clown, but not even the Spurs defense is that good. I just find it funny that Spurs fans even have the nerve to about calls when your own coach said that it was a no call and that he wouldn't have called a foul on that play.
Uh no... the Spurs defense is so good that we blew your ass out by 30 last game in Staples. Get your fishing gear ready tonight, clown. You mutha as will be on the lake by midnight. Nice season.
If Coach Pop were robbed at gun point, he would tell everyone that he should have put himself in a better position to defend himself.Sorry clown, but not even the Spurs defense is that good.

If his dog got run over on purpose by a truck full of drunk Laker fans, he would take responsibility for putting the dog in a bad position.
Coach Pop makes no excuses, even to a fault. Unlike...say...Phil Jackson crying about the refs during the 1ST QUARTER INTERVIEW.
No kidding.Thanks for twisting the knife, NBA
This whole issue is settled for me at this point - i have said all that i wanted to say but its just hilarious how things can go wrong like that and the reaction of the league is kind of weird just to say the least. What are they going to do? LMAO!!! Fisher's shot hit the rim so that was the main reason they didn't want to make the call? LMAO
Oh don't act like Pop never es for calls, dude. He should've been ejected in the game where he was yelling in Crawford's face at the top of his lungs. Pop es for calls too..If Coach Pop were robbed at gun point, he would tell everyone that he should have put himself in a better position to defend himself.

The main problem with NBA nowadays isn't refs, it's the pathetic NBA scheduling. That's what kills series. Is there anything fan about having one team rested playing another non-rested team. This despite the fact some teams took longer to come through. Still, between series you need to have at least a couple days off so match ups are rather even.
The hornets series got to game 6 one day earlier than lakers/utah and then they decided to move game 7 to monday (4 days off) while the other series was being played every other day. Since there wasn't game 7 between utah and LA then the winner had more days of rest.
It's true those 4 days allowed the spurs to rest their players for the game 7 but then it kills you in the WCF.
This problem with scheduling has affected the spurs quite frequently in the last 3 seasons. I remember the sacramento season where they finished them off and then went back to SA with less than 48 hours to play the Mavs and we know what happened. That was a travesty of scheduling.
Is this a joke? The Spurs got a 3-day break prior to playing game 7 with the Hornets. Fatigue is not a factor in this series - the Lakers have just played better throughout the series.
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.
You're right, he's not perfect...and no one expects him to be. He gets fiery during the game like any other coach. But at the end of the day he'll take responsibility for the outcome of the game, even too much. Quit hanging onto that statement he made to the press...as if because Pop publicly stated that it wasn't a foul, THAT'S THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH.
You and everyone else knows what happened at the end of the game, and nothing can change that. Now I'm not a believer in NBA conspiracies, throwing games, etc, but I do expect people to be accountable for their mistakes.
The no-call at end of game 4 was a mistake. No question. It's not a discussion dude.
BOBCAT FANS SHOULDN'T EVEN BE ALLOWED IN HERE the BOBCATS TEAM WON'T EXIST IN A FEW YEARS JUST LIKE THE CHARLOTTE HORNETS NOW THATS A DISGRACE TO THE Negligent Basketball Association.Yea its a shame that didnt see Timmys travel, Fish's shot hit the rim or the 20 hacks that Kobe got and ZERO trips to the FT line.....your right....
As ROME SAYS>>>>>>>
The Scoreboard never lies.......
I think you failed at reading comprehension. You need to read my post again and take the homer blinders off

Phil Jackson is the luckiest most whinning coach the NBA, He has won championships yah but with 3 of the "best" players ever Kobe, SHaq, and Jordan not to mention Pippen hes a lucky little , i could've coached those teams to championships
yah we'll see i promise a spurs victory the SPURS will stomp out STERN's dream
True.
However...Crawford should've NEVER touched Pop. That FUSED him even more.
then they were all smiles and giggles and 5 minutes later. wtf?
Kobe only shooting 6 free throws is only because thats all he deserves he's been shooting jump shots all series, and just because he gets 20 ft a game doesn't mean he deserves them, kobe bumps bowen with his shoulder on every play and flails his arms when bowen strips him, KOBE IS A RAPIST and ONLY FAKERS fans could love someone like that CLASSLESS HOLLYWEIRDS
You're right. They should have fed it into Timmy and let him plow through people to dunk the ball - that is, since no foul would have been called.
