We all saw that turd of a fan knock the ball away from Jose tonight... how is there no rule against that?

So in toronto whenever the ball is within a fan's reach we can just batt it away?

I really dont get it... we have been screwed over (as usual) many times tonight, but that one was the most bizarre.

The fan isn't on the court, so I don't think it would count as fan interference ... thats actually a pretty smart move .

i was wondering the exact same thing. man that pisses me off. I hope someone in toronto does that to the lakers next time they play here.

need to make sure that video is played next time lakers play here. seriously. make the acc like a lumberjack match for the lakers lol. but seriously though, that wasnt cool

lakers..

any one got the WIDEOOOOOOOO??

Fan disruption to the game should result in a technical foul against the home team.

Precisely. Don't get any funny ideas, that won't work for the Raptors.

It is no different than a fan going for a foul ball when a player is reaching his glove into the crowd to make a catch. It's a smart play when the visiting team is going for the ball like tonight and not a smart play when it is your own team...as poor Bartman found out in Chicago.

That fan should be banned from future front row seats...

There should be no room for that type of play... its unsportsmanlike despite it not being an actual team...

he made a move towards the ball while it was still live, he was trying to interfere, calderon should have ran him over to send a message to him and his lover boy from maroon 5 sitting beside him

It was unlikely Jose was going to save it. It also may have ended up starting LA on their transition offense. Either way there was horrible officiating on either side of the floor all game long. The phantom calls were most disturbing and it completely changed the flow of the game long before that goofball fan touched the ball.

Ya can't hate the fan. Plus it was a 50/50 ball Jose vs the fan, lol.

You want our players to deliberately attempt to harm fans? Who do you think we are the Celtics?

This is completely untrue, upon replay he would have gotten to that ball, whether he would have gotten it to a teammate or not is debatable, whether he would would have gotten to the ball is not.

Actually he was right on top of it, the ball bounced off the guy's hand and immediately hit his head. He had more than enough reach to make a play on the ball.

It's a **** move whether in baseball or basketball. Said fan needs to get punched directly to his overworked LA lip job just like all the other fake useless LA trash sitting at courtside that could care less about the game of basketball.

he should be kicked out on spot, like fan interference in baseball, and be banned from staples for some time

Jose should have followed through and rammed his other hand into that bitch's face by 'accident'...

I hope the NBA seriously looks into this game.. Wait.. David Stern controls those idiots refs? Oh, well nvm then
