    If Barry got fouled, it was on the floor. Better for him that they didn't call it.

    Barry (great foul shooter) shoots 2 FT's and sends the game to OT. I think the play was drawn up to draw a foul and put him on the line.

    All posts that compare pure numbers of fouls called or FTs shot should be automatically ignored. It's not a meaningful measure of much of anything. It's the same type of logic that Mike Leach uses to say that the refs are biased against UT when Tech has more total penalty yards.

    Odom getting called for a block against Duncan was ridiculous, but Manu was called for a similar block against Odom in the first half. Odom goaltended Parker, replay made it clear the ref was right.

    Fisher fouled Barry. Kobe didn't get any FTs during the game - mostly because he wasn't ever hacked while shooting - but who here honestly doesn't think that if you replace Barry with Kobe (or LeBron, or Wade) on the last play, the ref blows the whistle?

    Unfortunately that controversy is going to obscure another previous mistake - not fixing the clock. LA committed a shot clock violation, which should have stopped the clock instantly. Refs almost alwaysy blow the game to a stop for a shot clock even when it's obvious that one team is getting the rebound, as long as the clock hit 0 even just barely before the rebound occurs. In this case, they just let they clock run an extra second and a half as if there was no shot clock.

    Joey Crawford should be checking his bank account in the morning.

    Game is over 3-1 Lakers. Good no call. All the calls evened themselves out.

    Alright, Texas Golf says game over. Lets all quit discussing this game and move on to something else like nitpicking Abrams decisions or the seattle supersonics. Thats more fun than discussing a controversial no call anyway.

    Popovich just defined "class" and agreed with the refs.

    So was it a good call that evened things out because it was a no-call?

    What if somehow J Crawford, in putting his personal grudges aside, and made the right foul call? Do the calls still 'even out?'

    Spurs did not deserve to get that call with the way they played tonight. Much like the Suns were kicking themselves for missed opportunities in the first round, the Spurs will be doing in the same with two games they should have won.

    How does what happened in the first 47:58 of the game has any bearing on the last call? I would understand if it were close - i.e., they have not been calling jumping into the shooter a foul all night, which was NOT the case. But that was an obvious foul, and an obvious f**k-up by J Crawford and the crew.

    Tell it to Popovich. He disagrees with you.

    It was clearly a foul. The whole idea that Barry needed to "sell" it more is preposterous. If its a foul, call a foul, the NBA should not be about acting. That being said, the Spurs did not deserve to win that game with the way they got outplayed the entire game.

    Oh well, its an even year anyway.

    Pop disagrees IN PUBLIC. He is a smart man.

    If he states J Crawford screwed up, he gets fined and may get screwed again by the referee fraternity in the future (such as Game 5) in retaliation.

    I, OTOH, will probably not get fined by the NBA for my posts on Hornfans. [​IMG]

    Eh. They missed calls here and there but were pretty good overall.

    I can understand being upset with that no call. Eh. Barry didn't get the call because he put the ball on the floor. Why? I don't know. He had the look until he pulled the ball down. Seems like a fair no call. To paraphrase the wise UT graduate, Tuca Ramirez Benedicto, etc., etc., etc.,if you're gonna shoot, shoot, don't dribble. The Spurs are in danger of never having a real claim on dynasty. Better saddle up.
