San Antonio vs. L.A.

[R13]

I was joking, i dont even really believe all that..i believe its possible though...but the refs will help teams like LA no doubt about it

[Biggin]

yeah, SA cant even get the [censored] calls at HOME.


the NBA wants it to be LA/BOS in the finals.

guarantee the officiating is horrible in the last couple games of the east finals.


jesus christ, when someone is trying to AVOID a foul, yet still gets fouled its not a foul? its bullshit, barry shoulda been on the line.

It was Barry's fault. Had he gone straight up while Fisher was in the air instead of trying to avoid him, he'd have gotten the call.

Or they could have just hit any one of 30 other shots they missed all night....

I hate when people act like one foul call ruined the game...If they had of played better they would have been up 10, and not in that situation...So they loose, because before the foul/No-foul, LA capitalized on more opportunities...

No big Deal

[Biggin]

im not blaming that call for the loss, although down by two with 3 seconds left a call that big really helps decide, the spurs missed too many shots, got winded too early, didnt move the ball as well and had way too many turnovers.

[Slobber Knocker]

Well put Neutral!

They're talking about the last play now on the post game show. Barkley and the rest all agree that if Barry had gone straight up instead of trying to avoid Fisher when he was in the air, he'd have had the foul. They said that refs aren't going to call that when a player tries to avoid the contact. In their words, "good no call." </div></div>
And that means ,"Don't say anything to cause the irate fans to burn down the town over that blown call."

Had he gotten the call, what was the foul situation? I don't see how they could have let him shoot 3 because he dribbled after the contact to try and get clearance for a shot.

Truly though, only 2 players on that floor would have gotten that call IMO last night.

Beats me, the "let anything less than an axe murder go under 2 mins." is one of the reasons I lost the desire to follow pro b-ball. Too much table tilting.

Go look at the slo-mo replay again. When they showed it right after the buzzer, it was slow enough where you could see that before Fisher made any contact w/Barry, Barry walked off the pump fake. He stepped back with his left foot on the pump, and lifted his right foot moving forward before the ball touched the ground.

So it was either a walk or a foul that was no-call. Take your pick.
