the last play that put dwyane wade on the line never should have happened... not because wade probably should have passed the ball about 5 times before he finally shot over three people like his name was kobe... not because he was probably fouled about 5 times on the perimeter... not because the foul they finally called was a call that would have been questionable in the first quarter, let alone in overtime... not because josh howard stupidly took a time out...
no... the play that wade took never should have happened because he jumped from one side of the half court line, caught the ball in mid air, and landed on the other side.
back court violation. should have been dallas' ball.
but there was no grand conspiracy for the refs to miss that call. or the fouls on the outside they missed, or the BS call against shaq when josh howard pretty much just fell down.. or the ticky tack foul to put wade on the line... it was just bad foul calls against both teams right down the line.
and for me, at least, they tainted what was otherwise a great game.
as for wade...
i dunno... he takes a bunch of awful shots. but when the game's on the line they tend to go in more often than not.
it doesn't annoy me because the heat win... i don't care who wins. it annoys me because the media soooo wants "another jordan" that any good young player that comes along gets declared "the next jordan" when wade and lebron are completely different players than jordan.
newsflash to the news media... there have been other great players besides michael jordan. comparing someone to someone other than jordan is not an insult.
