Of course this would all be moot if Salvatore hadn't kicked the Nowistki foul against Wade.

Nowitski's right hand is clearly in Wade's back as he is releasing the ball. He jerks it away as he hears the whistle. That was a foul in the first quarter, it's a foul in the 4th quarter.
We've had the discussions before regarding timeouts. It's not my job to question the timing of your request. If you ask for timeout TWICE, signal for it as you're walking toward your bench as Howard did, you're getting a timeout.
Instead of blaming the officials, how about we hold the Mavs responsible for two stupid moves in the final 9 seconds of play? then there's the idiot Cuban, getting into a yelling match with Heat fans and yelling at DeRosa about he rule that he's completely wrong on.
