What is up with all the whiners over the Spurs vs. Lakers game

[OldAdmin]

The last play of the game. Derek Fisher goes up in the air, Brent Barry leans into Fisher dribbles then shoots. People keep saying that it was clearly a foul. Yet the Spurs team, the refs, and the Lakers all say it shouldn't be called. To me it was pretty clear, Fisher wouldn't have hit Barry unless Barry moved into him AND leaned into him. Finally, WHY did Barry get the shot in the first place. Isn't that why you have Parker, Duncan, and Ginobli.

I agree but people will be talking about that for weeks to come.

The league office on Wednesday reviewed the final play of the San Antonio Spurs' 93-91 home loss to the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 4 of the Western Conference finals and acknowledged that a two-shot foul should have been called on Derek Fisher for impeding Brent Barry.

The league office wasn't at the game. They watched it on the TV. I am sure that was an attempt to appease the sportscasters. Heck when the players, coaches, and refs all say that it shouldn't have been a call, I would tend to agree with them and not someone watching video and thinking about damage control.
