Take the whistle: Was Brent Barry fouled by Fisher?
Ball Don't Lie —
That was an obvious foul on Fisher! ... You can't call that on a desperation heave! ... Man, if that was Kobe shooting ... No, no, there wasn't enough contact ... The NBA is fixed! ... What about Duncan traveling? ... David Stern is Vince McMahon! ... It was foul, but Barry didn't sell it ... The Spurs we're lucky to even get that shot ... LOUD NOISES! Watch the Lakers-Spurs Game 4 refereeing controversy, then make your call below. Do you agree with the Inside the NBA crew? Vote away, speak up. [Note: There is a poll within this post, RSS readers.

According to “The Code,” No-Call Was the Right Call
SportsHubLA —
I don’t have to turn on the three or four letter cable networks today to know they they’re all still blabbing and babbling about the end of Game 4 …Lakers up two, Derek Fisher fouling Brent Barry but Joey Crawford manning up with the non-call. Now I’ll tell you why an old-school ref like Joey Crawford did NOT blow the whistle, giving Barry the chance to send the game into overtime. And it doesn’t have a damn thing to do with Crawford’s previous public dust-up with Tim Duncan, the one that got the ref suspended at the end of the ‘06-’07 season. Crawford didn’t blow his whistle because of The Code. Let me tell you about The Code. Today, most NBA ...
The Call That Wasn't
San Antonio Spurs Dynasty —
Brent Barry's days in the NBA are numbered, as they are for all players, of course. But Barry is 36 years old and his career will be over soon -- maybe next week, maybe next year. Years from now, if anyone remembers last night's game, it will not be for Barry's heroic efforts on offense, scoring a career playoff high 23 points, but instead for Derek Fisher's foul on Barry that was not called by Joey Crawford. ...
The Lakers break the Celtics’ win streak…AGAIN
VeriHoops —
Today’s Laker victory was an ugly one. Derek Fisher got away with a little hand checking on Ray Allen in the last seconds of overtime, but nothing egregious enough to warrant a conspiracy theory. It did remind me a little of Derek’s overt foul on Brent Barry in the Western Conference Finals last year. Derek has got to be the most decorated get-away-with-a-call player in the history of the NBA. Remember, he had the 0.4 sec shot as well. And did you know Derek’s middle name is Lamar? Just a little trivia for you.
Like I was saying, today’s V was an ugly one. It would have been beautiful to witness Kobe drain the game winning ...

Referee Joey Crawford gets revenge against Spurs

Referee Joey Crawford ruled it was a no call.

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.

It was a good non-call!
www.lecavs.com 5/28/2008 — The refs and the league want to see the game decided by the players, not a whistle. I know that, you know that, the players know that. Derek Fisher did technically foul Brent Barry, but as long as we all know the league's stance and what to expect, it's a perfectly level, fair playing field. Get over it.

In-depth analysis: Lakers comeback or Spurs meltdown
www.wcbias.com 5/22/2008 — So was Game 1 a monumental Spurs meltdown or an extraordinary Lakers comeback? Call it a meltback – one part meltdown, one part comeback. To pull off such a rally, in a tone-setting game of this magnitude, the Lakers definitely needed some help. Los Angeles got it in the fourth quarter when a tiring Spurs squad went 3 of 21 from the floor, including 1 of 9 from beyond the arc.
