That's not ownage you know why?  Because just like I said, Fisher got tripped by Baron Davis' foot and fell backwards. 
So Fisher tripped.  That gives him the right to give a hug to Monta ballroom style and pull him to the ground?
Your lameness knows no end.

Pretty weak call IMO. Especially at that point in the game. It's either no call, or a double foul. I would say Fisher definitely went down easy and helped Ellis come with him with the left hand on the shoulder. Typical smart Fisher play / flop. I loved it when he did last year. It is annoying when he does it to your team, though. And since Reality's team is anyone playing the Lakers, I understand his frustration.
Ted,
Thanks for weighing in on the obvious play.
As for me, no way would i accept a Spurs victory were theoretically Swisher be on the Spurs and pull this crap.  To me it seperates those who like real basketball vs those who are simply fanatics, taking the win irregardless of virtue, fairness, sportsmanship, real hoop value.

Like 3 of us said already, it should have been a no call.  To pretend like Monta Ellis didn't shove Fisher back which caused the initial trip is dumb on your part.  Shoots down any attempt of you pretending to be objective when it comes to anything Lakers related.  You can literally see Ellis' hand in his stomach.

LOL!  I guess you don't accept the last few Spurs titles considering Manuella GKnobly is on the squad.  Manu is the biggest drama puss flopper since Vlade Divac.  SELF OWNAGE :D :D :D :D

Does that apply to conference championships won by hip-checking the league MVP into the scorer's table?  :-\

I rescinded Dirk's MVP when he wussed out against Golden State.

No problem, i love it.  Just don't tell any of the Laker posters that Horry got rung up for a flagrant foul and suspended. 
Let their fantasy(s) live.

LOL!!  I just knew this was going to come up.  Even yesterday I was ready to post "Just watch Reality is going to somehow blame that on the Lakers since Horry played for them 3 seasons prior"  Darn, should have done it.  Would have just been that much more funny.

Derek will take charges and flop.  He doesn't go Raggity Ann and Andy each time he goes to the rim though.

Manu falls to ground like he was stabbed by the Predator triple blade knife almost every time he gets touched.  No contest, Manu is the Queen of drama flops.

Two picture perfect replies.  Priceless.


Sometimes Reality is right in that some Laker responses can be "written" just by the question asked.
