Wade was more aggressive than the Mavericks team last night and that's why he was rewarded with free throws. Stop hating on Wade and appreciate his game for what it is.

Stop hating on Wade and appreciate his game for what it is.</div> Naw man, in fact I'm still gonna hate on Wade, after last night. Sure Wade is a great player and is clutch in the Fourth Quarter. But Wade will continously drive to the basket and just throw the ball up in the air hoping for a foul call. That's not being more agressive, that's just takin the easy way out. And what grinds my gears, is that Wade is ALWAYS on the floor. And don't gimme that fall down 7 get up 8 crap. Wade barely gets touched, if that, and falls to the floor/bench/crowd. He just SITS there and looks at the refs, while dallas is scoring on a Wade-less defense. I'm tired of people thinking dallas is the only team that complains about legitmate foul calls, when Wade is on the floor whining over a foul call, or acting like Ginobili or Vlade Divac. In the closing seconds of overtime last night, Wade drove to the basket...what else is new? He drove, didnt have a chance in hell of makin the basket drawing the foul. Now you guys can show me as many pictures you want of Devin Harris brushing on Wades arm....because the foul call went on DIRK!!!!!! NOT HARRIS! Now show me a picture of DIRK hitting Wade. please im waiting...I'm sick and tired of refs bailing out Wade when he drives to the basket nonstop. And I'm tired of Dallas players getting bowed in the face, and no call....If the refs called every foul that happened to Dirk, Nowitzki would be in the record books for FreeThrows...not Wade.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting virve119:</div><div class="quote_post">I feel bad for the refs. they get bitched at when they make the wrong calls, and when they make a correct call, they still get bitched at. Wade was grabbed, and also Harris stuck out his knee. He would not have missed that lay-up THAT badly if he wasn't legitimately fouled.</div> I'm sorry man, but you feel bad for the refs, cuz DALLAS is complaining? haha man at least Dallas fans don't chant "REFS....YOU....SUCK" in unisense during the games. lol BTW- how do they even choose these refs? I'm tired of seein refs that have been the legue for over 50 years or so...cough cough dick badetta.
Dude...they made the foul call on DIRK in those closing seconds. not Harris. Show me dirk hitting Wade, and i'll shutup

He is a smart player and knows how to draw contact and get to the line. If you think Wade barely gets touched go look at the Detroit series and see the foul Dale Davis commited on him. He falls just as much as AI. Dirk is on the ground like Wade Dirk has choked plain and simple. It won't matter who the foul went on it was still a foul so in essence it's the right call. Have you ever wondered why Wade is hurt all the time? Because he takes a beating night in and night out. The only thing that should,"grind your gears" is that the Mavericks lost two games they should've easily won.

It's just frustrating to see Wade act. I'm talking about the times he's on the floor, when no one touched him. there were at least 3 occasions last night where, he sat in the crowd, bench, and floor looking at the ref with his hands in the air questioning the call. While dallas was running a fast break on a Wade-less team. BTW- If Harris GRABBED him and didn't graze Wade's arm. How did he go through his entire shooting motion?? ??? Look at where Harris is!! If he was GRABBED, he wouldve never ended up liek this with a chance to make the layup. Now did Harris touch Wade, obviously i mean yeah sure. But I don't think it's serious enough to call a foul, ESPECIALLY this late in the game. And I'm a ref myself.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting michiganave17:</div><div class="quote_post">This is why they called a foul.........His arm wasnt slapped. IT WAS GRABBED!!! Dallas Got 2 freethrows for no reason the play before and you cry about a legit foul? WOW. A foul is a foul. And Tim was fouled at the end of game 7. That was a no call, you got that break. Now your crying because the refs wont let you foul (and get away with it) to prevent a loss. Try not fouling during a game winning shot. Whats funny is if wade wouldve missed the freethrows you would say that it was a good foul.</div> That pic looks to me like he was slapped. Harris is off balance reaching and it's just his fingertips on Wade's elbow, his palm isn't on Wade at all. You can't grab something as big as Wade's elbow without using your palm. Do'nt forget at the end of regulation Wade did the same exact thing and hit Jason Terry's elbow, but no foul called on that shot. The ref in the Mavs/Spurs game 7 did the right thing and didn't call a ticky tack foul, just like the ref in this situations hould have done. <div class="quote_poster">Quoting playmaker15:</div><div class="quote_post">You gotta be joking.

Dirk didn't choke. In defense to the FT situation, the Mavericks used Hack a Shaq early and that forced Heat in the bonus, so any non shooting foul was a trip to the line. Mavs blew the game, plain and simple. The refs didn't cost them the game, the Mavericks cost them the game. They missed 4 out of their last 7 FT's and called that bonehead TO. After saying all of that...THERE WAS NO REASON AT ALL TO CALL THAT FOUL. YOU CAN'T END A GAME LIKE THIS MAGNITUDE ON A TICKY TACK FOUL.

Just look at this picture i posted earlier. if he got grabbed, wade wouldnt have continued his shooting motion to have a chancce at the shot. Mavs shoudlnt have let the game get this close, yeah. But no way a game should end like that.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">If Dirk didn't make those shots down the stretch then it wouldn't have even come to that.

The only guys who have shown up for Dallas have been Howard and Terry.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting THE DREAM:</div><div class="quote_post">can someone post the pic with dirks hand on Wades back so we can put an end to this?</div> lmao it's never gonna end man, cuz Dirk never touched him.

The only guys who have shown up for Dallas have been Howard and Terry.</div> He missed 1 FT one game and 1 FT another game. I wouldn't call that disappearing. If he disappeared then he wouldn't have made that shot. He hit 3 extremely clutch shots to give the Mavs the lead, plus that pass to Dampier. How many players wishes that they could be as terrible as Dirk. I mean 21.6 ppg, 10 rpg is so terrible. He's just not hitting his 3's. That's the only problem that he is having. People miss key FT's all the time, he was a combined 14-15 on FT's before those 2 FT's. Don't blame Dirk, blame David Hassellhoff for the missed FT's. Honestly, I know this will sound stupid with how well Terry was playing throughout the game, but I think he cost the Mavs the game down the stretch. He stopped all ball movement in the final 2 minutes and OT, which is what cost them the game. If he wasn't having a great game then I know the Mavs wouldn't have been in it. Howard didn't want to shoot the ball down the stretch, once he got it, he would immediately pass it.
how can people say that Wade didn't get fouled? Dirk should have been assessed a flagrant-2. I'm sure tommorrow Stu Jackson will announce the 2-game suspension
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting olskoolFunktitude:</div><div class="quote_post">who's crying? where did I say it wasn't a legit foul? that doesnt nessecacrily mean ti was right to call it</div> OMG EDIT: <div class="quote_poster">Quoting GatorsowntheNCAA:</div><div class="quote_post"> If Dirk didn't make those shots down the stretch then it wouldn't have even come to that. Dirk didn't choke. </div> THAT BS! he choked. in both games 3 and 5 Dirk hit all the regular free throws, but missed the 2 (out of 4) most important free throws. If he made that ft last night they would have won the game = no OT. game 3...same case. Dirk didnt come through for his team.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting michiganave17:</div><div class="quote_post">LOL Miami Won</div> Thank you. I missed the end.
i dont know why you guys are whining. Wade was fouled. Period. You get fouled, you get two free throws. Call it a ticky tack foul if you want but it was a foul nonetheless. How can you possibly talk about how Wade "complains" when it comes to getting calls. Seriously. Mark Cuban and Dirk are the king of whiners. Wade was fouled, there was no backcourt violation, a time out was called, and Dallas choked at the FT like which would've given you guys a 3pt lead. true story LOL, show that bike who's boss And...

I was extremely happy they didn't call that foul because the refs would take the game out of the players hands(which ended up happening the other side) I just don't understand how you can call one ticky tack foul when the game is on the line after avoiding a ticky tack foul when the game was on the line. No one ever calls ticky tack fouls there, just obvious fouls where there is a lot of contact, which certainly didn't happen. Actually according to the rulebook that was a backcourt, they talked about it during SportsCenter. He didn't have both feet planted on Dallas's side of the court before he caught it, which you have to have.
