Brent Barry scored 23 of the San Antonio Spurs 81 points but it missed a critical three pointer at the end of the fourth quarter a mist being fouled by Derrick Fisher. Referee Joey Crawford ruled it was a no call.
The result was the Spurs dropping a crucial game 4 to the Los Angeles Lakers and the no call on the foul will undoubtedly lead to speculation that Crawford was seeking revenge ...

Who's worse: Joey Crawford or TNT's commentators?
wcbias.com 5/28/2008 — WCBias.com throws them all under the bus with this commentary about the end of the Spurs-Lakers game Tuesday. Crawford blew it with the no call on a clear foul by Fisher. TNT blew it by saying: 1. The Crawford-Spurs rift isn't a story before the game. 2. By not realizing the L.A. shot clock hadn't reset late. 3. And by failing to say if the Spurs were in the bonus on the final possession.

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.

Ballin: Lakers 93, Spurs 91 — The Big Lead
Yes, D Fish fouled Brent Barry with less than two seconds remaining. No question. But as Barry, Pop, Fisher and Kobe said - you can’t call that . Go ahead and conjure up some Joey Crawford conspiracy , or talk about how uneven the game was refereed - the Spurs went to the line 26 times in the first three quarters, and then zero in the fourth; Kobe ( 28 points ) didn’t attempt one ...

And Your Western Conference Champion is… — Real Sports Bloggers
The Los Angeles Lakers are up 3-1 after a very controversial call Tuesday night in San Antonio at the end of game 4.

Lakers-Spurs Game 4 Ends On A Foul Note — SportsHubLA
Literally, in the sense that Derek Fisher fouled Brent Barry on the Spurs’ final possession, some no-call contact that the league later conceded should have gone whistled. And in a “mood creating” sense, as the ref’s descretion adds a sense of controversy to the proceedings. What if Brent Barry, who’s hit 95% of this season’s free throws and 82% on his [...]

League Moves One Step Closer To a Lakers Final — Hoops and Other Pop Culture
Now, I know the league doesn't want the ratings-sucking Spurs in the finals, but, um, folks.....Spurs are at home. Fisher lands right on Brent Barry.

How can Joey Crawford be allowed to do a Spurs game? I mean, come on. He ...
Wednesday 05/28 A.M. Quickie:Lakers, Bruce, Triples, Tiger, More — Dan Shanoff
I'm with the rest of you that Joey Crawford blew that call last night . Here's the thing: Aside from what is sure to be a day's worth of scrutiny -- and recrimination -- the fact remains: Lakers up 3-1 with 2 of the final 3 to be played in L.A. I'm usually not afraid to call a series prematurely, but even the biggest Spurs fan (or Lakers hater) has to be fairly certain that the odds are about ...
Was it a foul? Or can we move on? — SLAM Online
By Sam Rubenstein
The Lakers outplayed the Spurs, who looked tired at home. Somehow the game came down to one final shot. You saw what happened. The non-decision was Joey Crawford’s, who famously clashed with Pop in the previous round, and once ejected Tim Duncan for looking at him (seriously). Do we have another controversy/conspiracy?

Let The Crawford Controversy Begin! — AwfulAnnouncing
All pregame long we heard that Joey Crawford reffing this game shouldn't be an issue. Greg Popovich said it, Charles Barkley said it, Kenny Smith said it, and Marv and Doug both said it.

Lakers - Spurs Game 4 Live Thread — FanIQ Blog
From a PR perspective, David Stern is an idiot for allowing Joey Crawford to referee a critical Spurs playoff game. Then again, if he tilts the game in the Lakers' favor will anyone really mind? Not me.
Kobe Bryant's going to need some help tonight and it wouldn't be the best idea to rely on Crawford. Pau Gasol stepping up would be good enough - he was an innocent bystander in Game 3. ...
