What happened tonight, 16 points combined? "Wasn't a lot of time for us out there on that floor. You know, had to put up with the extra help they had out there." What do you mean "extra help"? "Come on, man. Don't try to bait me on this. You already know what I mean." What's the mindset of this team right now? "We still can do it. We might have lost this game, and, you know, we got the forces against us. We still can do it. We've done it before and this is something new. We've been on this road before." Can you talk about the level of frustration trying to get into some sort of rhythm offensively and have the fouls called on you guys? "You can't, it's blowing every time down the court, every other time down the court. That makes our offense stagnant." Larry was telling you guys, try to play through the officiating. How tough was that? "It's real damn tough. Y'all had to see that. Y'all had to see that out there. It's so blatant, I mean, you know, it's so blatant. I'm going to see out of all y'all who really know basketball by reading your columns and sports stories tonight. It's too blatant out there." Do you have a gut feeling at all about Game 6? "Oh, we're going to win Game 6. They are going to send some good people out there and there's going to be a Game 7. There's no other series. If y'all can't see that, you're all crazy." </div> I just wished he would've cried this loud when the Heat got a job done on them by the refs in Game 4. They also allowed the Pistons to get back in the game in Game 3. I guess they only go public about the officiating when it's not helping them win games. Anyways, they owe a lot of their success to the refs. They let them play a style of basketball not allowed by the rule books.
LMAO Losers blame referees for loss. Who understands referees 100% of time? There's always gotta be debatable calls. You can't call that "extra help". Can't believe this guy's called "champ"
Man Rasheed SUCK IT UP! The calls were going both ways! God damn! Why is he such a baby... just stop complaining and keep playing. it's the playoffs man play your heart out not your tear glands .
I am sick and tired of cyring Rasheed complaining about the damn referees. They think that they are so good now that after the Heat win a game they automaticaly blame the referees for losing the game. Did he complain after game 4? Naaa because they won. Wat about Elden Campbell who openly says that he goes out there and hacks Shaq whenever he's in the game. Do you see the Heat complaining after they lose. No, and if they did then they had the right to after the job they gave us in game 4.
i hate it that he only cries when they loose. oh, we loose, the refs didnt do there job. no he didnt do his job and play basketball.
Wait, Shaq didn't skip out on post game interviews because he feared what he would say about the officiating? Shaq said it in his own way, so get over Rasheed talking about it. EVERYONE does it.
<font color="Blue">Update: Rasheed Wallace was fined $20K for his comments.</font> Anyways his comments come as no suprise. Yes the officiating sucked but it wasn't all for the Heat. Our guys were being fouled left and right in the second half and the refs didn't give us the call. What really gets to me is when people only complain about the officiating when their team loss. If you're gonna complain about the officiating, do it regardless of what the outcome of the game was, even if it means the refs helped your team win. Frankly, the officiating was terrible since game 3 and has been up to this point. In game 3 the only reason they were able to gain the lead despite being down by 14pts in the second half was by mugging our players on defense, send the Pistons to the line, and calling some stupid continuations for them when we were clearly fouling before they got the shot off. Despite the refs letting them back in the game we were able to withstand their run and win the game. In game 4 they had Shaq, Zo, DJ, and EJ all in foul trouble. For christs sake, Zo is our backup C. How the hell does a friggin bench player get in foul trouble? Somehow their players were never in foul trouble despite us attacking the rim relentlessly. And everytime we were staging a comeback they would put the Pistons on the line, put a key player in foul trouble, and ruin our momentum. There was no way we could get back in the game no matter how close we came. But that's not the reason we lost. The reason we lost is because we didn't play good enough to win the game. All I'm saying is, don't go complaining about the officiating when the team you want to see win loses. And don't go complaining about the officiating because you lost the game. The crappy officiating has been going on for a while now and just because it didn't benefit your team doesn't mean you need to go crying about it.
the calls against the pistons are bull!!! we had three offensive fouls in a row and two of them shouldnt have been fouls anyway. the one where elden jumped for the ball and ran into dwade and the one where rasheed barely bumped wade and he flopped like hell. so get off sheeds back. GO PISTONS!!!

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Swish15:</div><div class="quote_post">But your name is DWade3 hmmm...... </div> hes my fav player but the calls are still bull
I'll say it again. You're not going to agree with officiating 100% of the time. Has the Heat had this so called "extra help" every games they played? No. There've been games where the calls didn't go Heat's way and in some games, calls went our way. Same for the Pistons and every other teams. Does every team in the league blame officiating and not themselves? I don't know. Referees make mistakes. They blow whistle when they see a play and when they believe that it's a foul. We can't judge from watching on TV cuz we are not seeing from the referees' angle, are we? Referee A might call it a foul but referee B might not call it a foul. They're humans and they think differently. Of course, there're gonna be fouls that everyone agrees on but there're also gonna be debatable calls. You can't use that to explain why you lost a game. That doesn't explain why you only scored 2 points. I wonder if the calls went lobsided in Piston's way, would Sheed have said "oh yeah we definitely got extra help tonight. We thank em for that." ? I don't think so.
you know whats so funny about this thread?that these same heat fans that were laker haters and also shaq haters are all of a sudden alll on shaqs nuts lol,shaq does not play ball he elbows and hooks everybody downlow but the refs let alot of his fouls slide. how do you think he gets so many points, its not because he has any basketball skill, its cuz he is a beast downlow and offensive fouls anybody downlow for a dunk without fouls shaq is an average center he has no jumper and his jump hook is so so all he does is dunk and intimidate other fruitcake players like yao.lol, sheed has a reason to complain that they get these tap calls on them and shaq is running guys down and they are getting no calls, but like sheed says the nba needs a game 7 so detroit will win game 6 and then 7 is a toss up.sheed will dominate these next 2 games i garantee you that and pistons will win in 7.

He is the most skilled big man in the game. His footwork is incredible. He's dealing with a deep thigh bruise and still dominates all game long. The centers who do have jump shots are the ones who dont play the position the way it was meant to be played. A 320 pound center isn't supposed to have a good jump shot. Why do you think he uses his size so much. Average center? How about the most dominating force in the NBA since Wilt Chamberlain. By the way even without Wade the Heat still ran the Pistons out of the triple A. The way the Pistons played last night tells me that the Heat wont need Wade in game 6 if they come out the same way. There's no way the Pisont's win game seven in Miami with Shaq as fired up as he is. The only thing Sheed has ever dominated is a postgame interveiw taking real players on the Pistons like Rip and Chauncey's airtime, but what would that do? They complained to after game 3.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting WadeDynasty:</div><div class="quote_post">you know whats so funny about your post? This thread isn't about Shaq.</div> any thread about miami is about shaq, shaq is miami, what your gonnna tell me ricky williams is miami lol,if i was 320 pounds then i would also dominate downlow lol,but let me ask you guys something and be honest were u on his sack when he was in LA? i bet not so please get off the ban wagon, and please dont say miami is gonna win without wade, 30 of miami's points a game come from wade he is what detroit fears, remember they swept shaq last year, and they hardly double team him, wade is a different story wade can get to the line 10 times a game his jumper is falling he is shooting a high percentage, and is dishing the ball lovely, i show love to the ballas who really can ball, but shaq gets no love, amare, duncan, garnett now those are bigmen that can ball not shaq he is a bum!

GO PISTONS!!!</div>I saw a lot of the replays on the offensive fouls cuz I thought some were bull. I was looking at it from an unbiased POV, and unless you expect Wade to hold his stance as they truck him, then he's not flopping. Those guys he drew the charges on barely had any control over their own balance and if you're out of control the refs are gonna call it against you. If Wade wasn't there to break their falls, those guys would've fell face flat on the floor. The Refs aren't the reason the Pistons lost Game 5. And as much as you don't want to believe em, those offensive fouls were legit. But don't worry, I'm sure the refs will rape the Heat in Game 6 especially after Rasheed cried a river. Also do yourself and the rest of the Heat fans a favor and change your name already If you're gonna complain about the officiating ONLY when you're team loses, and more importantly root AGAINST the Heat, then please don't go impersonating that you are a Miami Heat fan. J/K I don't want to come off as an a--hole

Oh and i'll be honest. I was on Shaq's side when the fued with Kobe happened. Oh and I almost forgot. You don't mean any significant to me or anybody on this board so I don't wanna sweat to prove it to you. Oh and you can't tell nobody to stop liking a team. Be honest, were you always on LeBron's sack even when he was in high school? Think about it Oh i almost forgot, any thread about the Heat might relate to Shaq BUT this isn't even about the Heat. It's about Crying Sheed. Read again. Now, mama always told you not to sleep in English class.
How is this dude going to complain about game 5 when he basically took himself out of the game. He only took three shots, although some of the foul called on him were questionable he still has no right to blame anyone else but himself. Grow up Sheed.
