Anyone who saw Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and the Spurs knows that some odd sh*t went down in the AT&T Center at the very end of the game. Watch the footage here. Now check it: that was a foul. Or should I say it could have been foul. As Kenny and others mentioned, it comes down to the fact that Brent didn't sell the foul. What does that mean? Well, take any 'and-one' play by Kobe Bryant, for instance. Every time Black Mamba goes up in traffic, he's pushing outwards for the three or four-point play. Brent didn't do that tonight: simple and plain! I've got great respect for Barry (and his brothers) for their high basketball IQ, but these are the Western Conference Finals we're talking about. If you don't fight for it, you won't win it. Now: was it a blown call? Maybe. But Brent didn't do what he should have done; what Kobe would have done. So what's the scenario? The Lakers are up 3-to-1 and you know the chances are slimmer than Nicole Richie's frame that they'll blow both of their home games. With that being said, I'm calling this a wrap. Again. Where you at, Boston?^ Bonus vid (hilarious!!) from March of this year ^
