Before I read anything...

I hope that everybody can agree that each team got screwed out of two free 
throw attempts in the final seconds due to bad calls, as that is pretty 
clearly what happened.

Any Lakers fan/Spurs hater who will not admit that Fisher fouled Barry and

that he should not have thus gotten two free throws: dishonest, classless.

Any Spurs fan/Lakers hater who will not admit that Fisher's shot hit the 
rim and thus the shot clock has to be reset, the Spurs have to 
intentionally foul Kobe, and that he should have thus gotten two free 
throws: dishonest, classless.

And in conclusion, anybody who will not admit that the outcome of the game

would have been the same* had the last few seconds been officiated 
correctly: dishonest, classless.

There, that will save me a lot of time slapping down idiots over and over 
with variations of the same post.



*Technically, the Spurs would have had roughly a 1 in 55 chance of getting

to overtime and thus roughly a 1 in 110 chance of winning the game.
