No Foul on Dirk. Foul on Ref.

Following up on my previous post that the foul called on Dirk that sent Wade to the line is questionable. Maybe Wade's yell, smirking face, wayward legs prompted the call. But that is game 5, the biggest game of the year. Having said that, the referee followed it up with the Josh Howard time-out fiasco. I am not alone in thinking there's no foul in that attempt and that Wade pushed off to get his shot over Griffin a play earlier.

I like Dwayne Wade. I really do. With that said, who exactly fouled him last night on his drive to win the game? Nowitzki didn't touch him, in fact no one did. This is the biggest play in the game on the leagues biggest stage. Cuban has every right to be ridiculously upset with having a game taken away by the grey shirts. No call on what looked like a push off was bad enough, but then to call a foul where none occurred is horrible.

Of course it's a Laker Blog so a little favor going in Dallas way. Clearly, he doesn't want Shaq to get another ring outside L.A. Like someone I know.
