yes, Josh Howard did call the timeout (after the 1st free throw)... there should be no dispute about that.
there's also no disputing that Dwyane Wade has been the best player in the Finals. but, the reason why he looks like the 2nd coming of M.J. is because the refs are treating him like he's M.J. there shouldn't be a double-standard in how they call the game.
but, here's where I fault Dallas. quit leaving it up to the refs. if they're gonna call a foul for the ticky-tack contact... then you might as well get your money's worth! a couple of good, hard fouls in the 4th quarter of Game 3... and the Mavericks would be prepping for their parade.
