Refs Love D-Whistle Wade

*For those who missed the Miami game on Sunday here is a local article recap.

———————————–

Pistons coach Michael Curry was ejected in the final seconds of Sunday’s loss to the Heat, and a few players commented on the officiating after the game.

Detroit was upset that a foul wasn’t called on Dwyane Wade as Rodney Stuckey drove to the basket on the team’s final possession.

“They were calling us for those same fouls all game long, riding Wade to the basket,” said Tayshaun Prince. “You can see why Coach Curry got thrown out the game because of that situation, and we felt what D-Wade did to Stuckey at the end of the game, they were calling us for those fouls on the other end over the course of the game.

“Obviously you know in late-game situations they are going to try to let us play, but I think you saw the inconsistency there when Stuck drove on that play and got rode all the way to the basket, and that was pretty much the game right there.”

Wade blocked Stuckey’s shot, but the Pistons felt as though there was significant contact.

“I guess the ref saw it different,” said Stuckey. “I thought I went to the basket aggressively while he had 10 of his fingers on me and they didn’t call the foul.

“He’s an All-Star so I guess you are going to get those calls.”
