So I heard people debating the non-foul at the end of last night's Lakers-Spurs game (not a foul, yes a foul) but no one brought up my favorite point.
The no-call was karma because the Spurs flop ALL the time. San Antionio doesn't deserve to win anymore for the way that Bowen-Ginobli handle a little contact.
The irony of course, is that after the game, all the TNT analysts were saying that if Barry had "selled the foul" more he would have gotten it. That sends a good message to the kids.
Admittedly, the best play would have been to go up and embrace the contact to get the foul, but once he already decided to dribble, I admire him for not selling the foul and still trying to get the shot off.
The refs were most likely thinking that they weren't going to decided the game unless it was a blatant call, but I'd like to think that the karma helped the Lakers out.
