    That's what I thought- anyway- it was so obvious they were intentionally throwing it towards the backcourt that I knew the Heat players must have known it wouldn't be a violation. If they had thrown it wildly back there, I might have been suspicious. But at the time, it was so obvious that I figured there must be a rule that allows for that.

    I think Wade realized the pass was gonna cut it close though, so he jumped across midcourt.

    In any case, Cuban has to stop acting like he's an offical and let them do their jobs. If he's got a complaint, send it in privately to the league office. Then again that answers his comment about wanting clarification on certain in-game calls.

    that's what i'm talking about, they say it was legal because he was in the air when he caught it, but i'm wondering whether he really actually was[i/] in the air when he caught it. it may have been that his foot was on the ground, in the frontcourt, not in the air, when he caught it. it's close. i think it was a 50-50 call. it was so close, imo the official could have called it either way, and the league would have tailored their statement to back up the call, especially in the absence of conclusive evidence either way.

    again, even if his foot was touching for a split second, in no way does it fall in the relm of "positive established position"

    Devin Harris with the best flop in the history of the NBA finals.

    Funny how the Dallas storm is weathered once Dwayne Wade starts scoring.

    The last two foul calls on Terry and Harris on Wade were garbage.

    I'm SO pulling for the Heat, but damn, that was 2 phantoms calls for Wade in a row.

    Dallas might as well let Wade have the layup, and save the foul trouble... hell, he may miss a few just by blind luck.

    Better chance of that happening than the refs not calling fouls.

    It all depends on what the margin is going into the 4th quarter... because Dallas hasn't shown up there since game 2.

    i really can't remember any more, but there's no way jordan got this many calls, is there?

    i mean he takes a jumper w/o being touched, then falls down, whistle.

    he runs harris over, blocking foul, go to the line for 2. i mean it's comical at this point, just waiting to see what new crazy call they'll make next.

    Jordan, in his prime, would drop 50 on this Mavs team... they couldn't keep my grandmother from driving it in the lane.

    Did anybody else see Mark Cuban signalling for a TIMEOUT?!?!? Of course, his team/coach ignored him... maybe it was him who instructed Josh Howard on Sunday :D .
