Tim Duncan got away with an OBVIOUS travel to end the first quarter. It was such an obvious call that I was almost laughing, especially when they were showing it on replay. He caught the ball, didn't take a single dribble, and took three giant steps to reach the rim. Anyways, the Spurs should not be complaining about the calls at all. If the game had been called correctly, it probably wouldn't have even been this close. The Lakers were screwed pretty much the entire game

PJ makes a good point too, he said the refs missed Fish's shot hitting the rim on the possession prior, setting it up for the final play where the refs missed that call.

Every fan thinks their team gets no calls. Spurs have always played smart and one of their philosophies is not to foul. There's a big difference between a questionable call, a flop that you didn't like and SOMEONE JUMPING ON YOUR HEAD. You also think he put the ball on the floor. Watch the replay. He pump faked and got Fisher in the air. Then he held the ball, absorbed the contact and let fly. That is probably THE most popular way to get an And 1. I'll be the first to admit that Spurs played horrible and messed up several chances to tie the game, and they probably didn't deserve to be within 2 with 2 seconds left. But having a game end like that is just pathetic. Fine, even if the ref didn't want to give him 3 foul shots on a popular play, at least give him a break. A guy jumped on his head. Give him 2 foul shots and send the damn game into OT.

Let's say Kobe deserved zero Free Throws, the clock is something that should not rely on human judgement.
TD: "Hey Joey there was contact there." JC: "I had some contact with your mom last night!" JC: "Suck it, Duncan! I'd kick your ass if Finley wasn't restraining me!" "Get the f*ck back to LA for game 5 bitches! hacacacaca" "Shouldn't you be in Seattle PJ Carlisimo? Oh I forgot you're going to Oklahoma City, you suck it too! Hey ohhhhh!"
