Barry tried to avoid the contact with Fisher and still got hit. It was obviously a foul, and another reason to get new refs in the NBA.

Well.....Duncan got away with a CLEAR WALK in the 1st, so I say its even. I really dont want to vote for Robetmenn cause I disagree, but Im gonna have to wait. I think it was the right NON call, but Im waiting.

Robertmenn has the much better argument thus far.....

And Fisher is a star???

---------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------->

But its subject to change pending further arguments

Close your mouth Menn, I voted against a Laker........

And Yes Goodell is right.......Duncan did travel

Menn

U do understand that the Spurs at one point during the game had twice as many FT attempts as Lakers right????

Thats called home court officiating.......

And Kobe who averaged 9 FT's in reg season and 13 in 1st 2 round has had 6 FT's in this series.......

It WAS a foul, but let's not forget, they shouldn't have even had the ball in the first place, at least not without the Lakers taking two foul shots first. The only reason the Spurs had the ball down 2 in the first place was because the refs blew the call on Fisher's shot, which resulted in Kobe launching up a miss with 2 seconds on the shot clock which the Spurs rebounded. The only problem with that is, the Fisher's shot apparently grazed the rim (not just my opinion, rather that of most sports writers I've read on the subject), which means the Lakers SHOULD have had a new shot clock, meaning Kobe or any other Laker wouldn't have been taking a shot. So the Spurs would have had to foul, etc. etc.

That being said, Fisher did foul Barry, but if they did call it, it would have likely not been classified a shooting foul, as Barry started to dribble, not shoot, as the contact was made.

I'd much rather the refs get it right all around, but it seems like the result would've been the same had they gotten both calls right instead of wrong.

PS - I love Odom's response when asked about it. The reporter asked him if he thought it was a foul. Odom replied "what did you see?" The reporter said it looked like a foul. Odom replied "I was watching things that looked like fouls the whole game."

Odom stepped up in the 2nd half

16 points baby!!!

LOL at perfect

As yankee nation says, the no call was good. Again, had barry jumped into fisher while he was in the air, a foul call was warranted. Barry waited UNTIL Fisher was on the ground and THEN went into him. Not a good move by Barry.

Robert has the better argument thus far though.

I'll get back to this. I'm leaving work...and that's usually the only time I FanNation. But I'll try to get on at my house.

Pop said if he was a ref he wouldnt have called it. thats saying something.

Has Cheeze left building???

LOL

Dunno if you are being sarcastic or what you mean by this comment demon lol

Jesus God...Spur fan get over it! You had your run, it's over. Ginobli is banged up, your team looks like a bunch of tired old men. I'm really going to miss Tim Duncan's bank shots. They are almost as stylish as a huge dunk. NOT!!!

im surprised people are so caught up on the last shot. What about Manu not showing up to the game? The Spurs go wherever Manu takes them.

Alright...still waiting for the next argument.

But, after reading some of these comments, it seems like you people are trying to justify the NO CALL. And that's just it, you know it was a foul. That's what I'm saying. It's a foul, call it. And I'm not just talking about THIS particular play, I'm talking about ALL fouls the refs blow when it's obvious.

As to the Tim Duncan travel: When? If you are talking about the dunk when he was cutting down the lane, that wasn't a travel. WASN'T. Look at the replay. I thought it was too, but I was wrong. If you are referring to another play, then disregard what I've just said about the dunk.
