Just now during the half time interview Lisa Sulters asked Wade how to get Shaq more involved and Wade said the following. "We're getting him the ball, but whenever he makes a move they're calling a foul on him because the other guy is looking to flop." He may be right, this goes back the the 02 Finals where Collins guarded Shaq and Shaq called him a, "flopartist" lol. Shaq needs to keep attacking though because without his scoring we are nothing.
Cumon, all of those were legit offensive fouls, there were even a few others that could have been offensive in this series. Give Collins credit, he's taking elbows in the chops to draw the foul, even Hubie agrees with that.
Refs are finally playing how they should of played him his whole career. How many times had he elbowed, hit etc and didn't get called on the offensive foul. He is no longer getting the special treatment. Everytime he posts up....you can most likely argue that he hit the defender.

If you watched every single game including Chicago series, as soon as the defender falls, foul is called. Sure some of them were fouls for sure, but not all of them.

Shaq's body type is just so powerful that he sends 280 pound men to the floor when he dropsteps. You can't call that a foul everytime. I think the refereeing is falling off these days. One call they really screw up is charging, so many times I see a defender moving his feet while taking the charge and the refs call an offensive foul. They need to tighten this up quick.
