    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> MIAMI ? Add Sonics coach Bob Hill to the list of Dwyane Doubters.

    Two years ago, it was Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas questioning the outside shooting of Heat guard Dwyane Wade. Before last season's NBA Finals, Mavericks forward Josh Howard expressed similar sentiments. And this past summer, Rockets forward Tracy McGrady questioned the ease with which Wade was allowed to get to the foul line in the title series against Dallas

    Now comes Hill, who questioned the latitude Wade was granted with his ballhandling in Tuesday's 90-87 victory over Seattle at AmericanAirlines Arena.

    "On one play, he carried the ball for about three feet and took two steps," Hill said of what he insisted was an uncalled palming violation. "I asked the official, `How am I supposed to coach against that?'"

    Hill's argument drew a technical foul with 18.6 seconds left in the third quarter.

    "It's unbelievable what [Wade] gets away with," Hill said.

    Wade also worked his way to the foul line for 17 free throws, making 14, including 10 conversions in the decisive fourth quarter. By contrast, the Sonics attempted 23 free throws, with no player attempting more than the six of guard Ray Allen.

    "It was a little lopsided," Allen said in the Sonics' locker room, according to the Tacoma News-Tribune. "There was pressure up on the ball whenever I got the ball, and on the other end, we got whistled any time we touched Dwyane."</div>

    I wonder why people just dont attack wade the way he attacks them. It takes a lot of persistance and gutts to go to the basket with the consistancy he does. But hes earned his stripes. hes got whisles blowing on anticipated contact. thats not his fault. I would just follow his lead and attack the basket like he does

    It's not Wade's fault that the refs show bias for him.

    I agree, refs DONT call it even. Even those fouls last year in the finals.
    Also, Wade does flop and overreact to contact.

    Why does it matter if he flops and overeacts? Alot of players do, its almost a part of the game. And how do you know if it really is flopping, did you ever feel the contact? No, because you arent him. Ya'll just hatin' on one of the greatest player in L.

    No we're not hating, go to youtube and checkout the 06 finals. There are plenty of threads about the calls he got last year against the Mavs.

    Yeah, and as you said in the thread you gave a link to, refs do make bad calls, its their decision. BUT, you will never know if there actually was contact, because you werent there, you arent him. That's what im trying to say.
