Derek Fisher and Lakers Luck Out Big Time!

NBA Playoff Rant from the Muffin: The Los Angeles Lakers just won game 4 of the Western Conference Finals on a veeery controversial call. Down by two with a few seconds to go Brent Barry of the Spurs received the inbounds pass and Derek Fisher jumped in the air and CLEARLY bumped Barry before he went up for the shot. I know refs don't want to influence the end of the game with a bad call, but last time I checked you can't run and jump into somebody. It would have been one thing if Derek hadn't left his feet or even if he had jumped straight into the air. That was not the case. Now I am listening to Reggie Miller, Barkley, and the Jet talk about how it was Barry's fault for not "selling the foul". Apparently they want to see more manu-style flopping. Maybe they wanted Barry to fall to the ground and grab his ankle like an Italian soccer player. Disgusting! I can't believe I have to see Kobe's smug face roll into June.
