Here's the video of the (somehow) controversial play at the end of Game 4. You can read my full take at FanHouse, but basically, that's not a foul that should ever be called to decide a game, period. Popovich and Barry said so themselves, so let it go, Spurs fans.
Pop and Barry were trying to be classy about it, and I'm no Spurs fans, but the ONLY people I have heard say this was not a foul are Lakers fans. Imagine if Kobe was in that situation and he didn't get the call- you'd be crying about it for weeks. Try to at least show some impartiality and honesty. Oh wait, that's not really possible...I wonder why people laugh at blogs?

Okay Tim, where was the missed call on Fisher's shot that glanced the rim? And why the hell was Brent Barry taking the last second shot? The problem with commenters on blogs is that they jump to conclusions BEFORE thinking things out. The NBA is NOT fixed!
The Spurs lost the game from the opening tip-off when they didn't match the Lakers aggressiveness. And they also lost the game with a HORRIBLE play at the buzzer. But that will all be lost in the "the refs blew the call" discussion.
Try to at least show some impartiality and honesty and look at the big picture and not the last 2.3 seconds.
