Ben Wallace in game 3 when Miami went to "Hack-A-Ben" down the stretch, and Chauncey Billups in game 5 (and he was being fouled in the 4th quarter to stop the clock).
Add that to the fact that Shaq took 48 free throws during the series means that those two players took 100 FTs. As a team, the Pistons only took 154.
But, you're right, to say that Wade gets a lot of calls is absolutely ridiculous. Thanks for setting me straight.

lol of course he gets calls. He drives to the basket and gets hacked, what are they going to do?
And your argument against Shaq is pretty "ROFL"
Since you are trying to turn this into a numbers game, here:
Free throws attempted:
Detroit - 154
Miami - 153
Not really a big difference now that you look at it. The funny thing is the number is only close because of game 4 when Miami shot 47 to Detroit's 22. And, to make it even worse...
Free throws made:
Detroit - 114
Miami - 97
I don't really know if you're even arguing that Miami got all the calls or not since you left it pretty vague. Shaq was 21/48 for the series. Dwade was 44/52. So, Shaq averaged 8 free throws a game and Wade averaged a little over 8. Not outrageous numbers at all lol.
You're welcome, by the way.
