I agree it was a blown call. I agree a foul could possibly have sent the game to overtime. Where I disagree is that any of this "taints" what the Spurs are doing right now, or really matters that much in the long run. If anything, the Spurs playoff run is more "tainted" by the Amare/Diaw suspensions and tonight's missed call, because it gives people reasons to complain about games the Spurs would likely have won anyway.

And with extra regard to tonight's final shot: if that foul doesn't get called and LeBron makes the shot, the Spurs could just as easily complain that Bowen didn't get the intentional foul call he wanted.
