I heard something on "The Sports Bash" on ESPN radio today that made a lot of sense. The guy said that if they were in Dallas, Wade wouldn't get that call, if Dirk did that play in Miami, he wouldn't get a call, but if he did it in Dallas he would get the call.
I doubt the home court of Dallas is as heavily favored by the refs if at all compared to the rediculous bias towards the Heat in Miami. It's a shame a series has to be determined by refs. Mavs should've won in 5.

This series wasn't determined by the refs. Yeah, if it's called right it's a different series, but we just couldn't hit our shots. If we would've played well we would've won in 5.
Im tired of hearing all this whining from the mavs fans, none of this kinda blaming the officials matters any more, yall choked plain and simple, 6:30 some left in game three wit a big lead, you have to finish it off right there, i think everyone can agree that it would have been impossible for the heat to come back from 3-0. But of course the Heat ended up coming back, im a huge spurs fan but i dont hate the mavs i loved the 2nd round series, i just didnt like comments that were made by the owner its just not right, if you all have any public quotes from Mr. Holt insulting your city ill take that back then, but really if you mavs fans think the whole series was rigged, well maybe the mavs should think about playin in another league...calls are blown all the time, in the mavs-spurs series there were alot, yes we spurs fans whined but dear lord yall really are good at it, when we whined we were told give the mavs the credit and we have, you all beat us fair and square in a game 7 ot, so now i think its heat fans and the heat team deserves all of the credit for winning this year, i just feel sorry that the mavs could not finish up the job but im sure there will be plenty of other chances.
well srry its not 4 bad calls..."Any ball out-of-bounds in a team's frontcourt or at the midcourt line cannot be passed into the backcourt. On all backcourt and midcourt violations, the ball shall be awarded to the opposing team at the midcourt line, and must be passed into the frontcourt. EXCEPTION: During the last two minutes of the fourth period and/or any overtime period, the ball may be passed anywhere (frontcourt or backcourt) on the court." there...no can yall stop whining about the backcourt thing...http://www.nba.com/analysis/rules_8.html?nav=ArticleList
