I just watched the super slo-mo replay for the first time since the game.
Given all the hand-wringing, I was pretty shocked by what I saw, because it was a little different than what I've been hearing.
Here's what I saw: Barry got the ball and made a head fake. Fisher started to jump, but almost caught himself, resulting in more of a hop. Barry travels and then tries to dribble through the airborne Fisher. It looked more like an attempted tackle by Barry than Fisher coming down on Barry's shoulder and back.
Barry initiated the contact (after traveling) - good no call.
Here's the clip I watched: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQKhBnv8Mt4
When is the NBA going to review Fisher's phantom air ball and issue an apology to the Lakers for failing to re-set the clock?
