Comments on: Lakers Blow The Final Whistle http://www.laballtalk.com/2008/05/28/lakers-blow-the-final-whistle/ NBA Basketball News Sat, 02 Jul 2011 07:01:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Daniel Sagal http://www.laballtalk.com/2008/05/28/lakers-blow-the-final-whistle/comment-page-1/#comment-885 Daniel Sagal Thu, 29 May 2008 17:31:41 +0000 http://www.laballtalk.com/?p=134#comment-885 I'd like to point out that right as Derek Fisher bumped Brent Barry, Barry went for the dribble. I haven't disagreed that the play was a foul. But I can't agree that it should've been called a foul giving the Spurs a chance at the game simply because of how the refs handled the first 3 quarters. Like I said, if the game is balanced and the fouls are called accordingly for both teams, the Lakers go into the 4th with a 21 point lead. In regards to the league giving their stance on it. I am extremely disappointed by the leagues decision to come out and say that and will be writing an article later today to explain myself. Thank you for the comment though.

I'm a Lakers guy, but if you check the video, the pump fake is what got Fisher in the air, then he was fouled on the dribble after. WCBias never said it should've been three shots. It should've been on the floor, which meant two free throws (they were in bonus) for the tie. Even the NBA says so: http://www.latimes.com/sports/printedition/la-sp-nbarefs29-2008may29,0,5391348.story Speaking of biased bloggers.
