The rule allows Wade to make the play he made, whether you believe us or not. I can assure you we are correct.

This doesn't explain it. I understand that it is legal for a player to do what Wade did, but the two rules are contradicting since it is the same premise.

1- Officials miss calls. Officials miss calls against both teams. Remember the ball that Posey stole late in the 4th quarter and was called for double dribbling? By rule, he did not double dribble. He knocked the ball away, caught it, and dribbled once. That's not a double dribble. The perfect game has never been played, coached, or officiated. It never will be.

True, officials miss calls for both teams, but when it all evens out in the final minute and the officials make a mistake that ultimately decides the outcome of the game, then there's nothing else to say other than "they blew it".
Posey actually knocked the ball with his left hand then dribbled with his right hand, held it then dribbled again. Double dribble.

2- Not all contact is a foul. Wade made contact with Terry but he did not push him off. The fact is Terry was in poor defensive position.
|
Poor defensive position? Terry is guarding Wade who then lowers his shoulder going to the right, extends his left arm and runs into Terry.

As for Nowitzki, it was an ugly play. But again, with lousy position, he got called for a block.
|
Huh? Lousy position again? What is the correct position to be standing in when a player decides to throw his arm into you?

3- A foul in basketball in one of the most subjective calls in sports. There's a lot of gray area and judgment involved. There's always going to be disagreeing opinions.
|
Not really. Fouls in basketball are pretty well defined.

4- The Mavs lost far and square. They have no one to blame but themselves. The better team won the series. If you can't win game 6 and 7 and at home, you don't deserve to win. BYW, there's are Jason Terry's words, not mine.

Note that I didn't bring up any points about the Mavs getting robbed, or who has the better team, or who said this or that. I just mentioned the blown calls by the officials which are a fact.
