Right Call, But the Wrong Ref
Published 5/29/2008 by Michael Wilbon at Wash Post NBA
Derek Fisher's contact with Brent Barry in the final seconds of Game 4 of the Western Conference finals should not have been a foul, but Joey Crawford shouldn't have been making the call.

Contact? Yes. Foul? Doesn't sound like it.
construda.blogspot.com 5/28/2008 — The Spurs and Lakers players and coaches will tell you that's not a foul, even with contact made. Even if Joey Crawford blew his whistle, the Spurs didn't deserve to win because they've blown opportunities in this series. They were out-rebounded, out-hustled and out-played on Tuesday night. They got what was coming to them.

The Fisher Incident
touts.wordpress.com 5/29/2008 — Do I think that Derek Fisher fouled Brent Barry at the end of last nights’ 93-91 Lakers’ victory? Yeah, probably. I’m not sure what all the ruckus is about though, NBA fans should have known that there wasn’t going to be a foul called, no matter how bad Fisher bumped into Barry at the end of the game.
