Wallace was left infuriated by a series of what he deemed unfair calls, culminating with a questionable offensive foul that left Wallace with four fouls and on his way to the bench.
“There were a couple instances where Paul went to the basket and got fouled or whatever, and no calls,” he said. “But we come down, blow on them too hard, and it’s a call.”
“Of course, I get a whole lot of bull—- calls,”
said Wallace, who — understatement of the century alert — felt Dirk Nowitzki received the benefit of the doubt on too many whistles.
“That’s how the story goes,” he continued. “I ain’t worried about it.”
When asked about the fourth foul, Wallace said,
“Honestly, I can’t remember which one the fourth foul was, there were so many bogus [calls].”
TH Edit Note: Rasheed received five fouls.
(The above is more good stuff from Jay King’s night at the Garden.
I would add that Dirk was up set with, and Dallas Coach Rick Carlisle received a technical foul for strenuously objecting to a ‘non call’ in the first half on incidental contact made by Glen Davis on a pump fake by Dirk. A staple move in Pierce’s offense, Paul doesn’t even get those calls very much anymore, unless the contact is more serious than that.)
