So the NBA came out today saying that Derek Fisher really did foul Brent Barry in game 4 of the Spurs/Lakers series. Now, I’m no commissioner, but it seem like there’s not a lot of upside to admitting you make a bad call this late after the game. Now the debate will rage between the giant media machines of Los Angeles and San Antonio sports contrarians about how much this one call impacted the NBA postseason. Again.
But one bad call does not deserve another. This entire Barry/Fisher play is really a moot point if the shot clock gets reset off of Fisher’s miss. See, if we had eagle-eyed androids in those grey official’s uniforms, there wouldn’t have ever been a Brent Barry play, because LA gets the offensive rebound and runs the clock out / shoots some free throws.
The NBA… where always wondering if the officials are working for the mafia happens.
