It was definitely a foul. Even Phil Jackson admitted that Fisher bumped Barry. The problem is that Barry didn't jump into him to sell it and make it really obvious plus the refs don't want the outcome of the game to rely on their call. The Spurs aren't crying about it so everyone can just move on.

hmm, I guess we will find out who will face the Lakers in the finals tonight.
|
Did you guys only watch the last 20 seconds of the game? The first 47 minutes the calls all went the Spurs way, did no one see Phil Jackson losing his mind every 5 minutes?
|
Fisher's shot hit the rim before it went off Horry's leg, we shoulda had a fresh 24 on the shotclock.
Lamar's goaltending was NOT goaltending. |
How about the dozen fouls that weren't called.
|
Spurs in 7
|
Who ya gonna be pullin' for in the finals, RP?
|
Spurs
|
LOL, only the Spurs are losing in game 5 of this series.

In all levels of basketball (NBA, college, pro) I have seen that exact situation been called at the end or no called. It happened in the 2005 Elite 8 game between UK and Michigan St when UK's Patrick Sparks hit that 3 with the CRAZY roll to send it in OT and he was CLEARLY fouled but they didnt call it. Ironically earlier that seasonSparks got fouled with a second left in a close game on the road against Louisville while attempting a shot and they called it and it gave UK the victory. I seen it callled in a big high school game in my area too and it made the home crowd LIVID when it was called because it cost the home team the game. I am neutral in the series and would have called it a foul but understand the refs situation on not wanting to decide a key playoff game over a foul/no foul call.

This is a damn close one. Pistons can still win this thing!
|
Dammit! One hell of a comeback, but just a little short. Pistons now have to win 2 straight.
|
Ok then. Celtics-Lakers it is.

If anyone cares the NBA said they made a mistake and it should have been a foul on Fisher.
More importantly <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/R80sBcMc_A4&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/R80sBcMc_A4&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object> |
Excuse me, I have an appointment with the rim

NEW YORK - The NBA acknowledged Wednesday that a foul should have been called on the final possession of Game 4 in the Western Conference finals, which would have given the San Antonio Spurs a chance to even the series.
Trailing 93-91 on Tuesday night, the Spurs inbounded the ball with 2.1 seconds left to Brent Barry, who was bumped by Los Angeles Lakers guard Derek Fisher on the floor. No foul was called, and Barry missed badly on a 3-pointer before time expired. Spurs players and coach Gregg Popovich said a foul should not have been called, but the NBA disagreed with them after reviewing the play. "With the benefit of instant replay, it appears a foul should have been called," NBA spokesman Tim Frank said. Had that happened, Barry would have gone to the line for two free throws and a chance to tie the game. Instead, the defending champion Spurs trail the series 3-1 and face elimination Thursday in Los Angeles. lol always controversy between these two teams |
wasn't Barry behind the line? wouldn't it had been 3 free throws?
|
I dunno but I hate when these two teams play, the Spurs will get the calls but then when it comes down to winning the game, all of a sudden, the refs are blind and dont call anything.
Whatever though. I am used to how they treat the 'small market' Spurs. |
Aw... boo hoo hoo. Meh. Yeah I would be pissed if I was a Spurs fan, but you can't expect that foul to be called in that game in that situation, seriously. Barry shoulda just stayed put, and he woulda got the foul. He moved away from it and threw up a wild shot.
Also, LC, It woulda been on the ground, so it woulda been 2 free throws. |

Gonna be a good game tonight boys.
|
Yeah, skipping my soccer game for this one.
|
I'm tired of the conspiracy theorists going on about LA and shit.
|
Good game thus far
|
Lakers turned that shit around quick.
|
Goddddd, that 17 point lead had me scared. We aren't hitting shots, not being aggressive, and S.A. is hitting everything. Mad stoked we got it to 6 though, we gotta keep this up now. Come on Kobe, you can't let these guys stay alive.
|
LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE SHOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!
FINALS HERE WE COME!!! IMAGINE HOW EASY WE'LL GET THERE NEXT YEAR WITH BYNUM BACK. |
Lakers win, Lakers win.

What the hell? I didnt even click post twice...odd...oh well, deserves to be said again
|
Oh my God. Teared up there at the end. We play for CHAMPIONSHIPS, though. And that's what we're going for now baby. It was amazing watching this, though.
lol @ fans booing when West asked them to give the Spurs a hand. |
I had a feeling they were going to win when they said Phil Jackson was calm in the first half and not even playing the starters that much yet. The old Spurs would get tired and when the starters come back, boom!
|
wtf I only clicked once.
|
wow, I just found out that sports teams play for championships. really?
|
What I'm saying is that other teams put up banners for winning their division or their conference. We don't.
